| Personal turntable/cartridge evolution Too many cartridges to list, but here are TT/Arms and I wish I stiil had some of these arms espeacially the Breuer. Looking back on this list if I just had half the money I spent I could be spinning on a Brinkmann. Still i had all those wonderful ... | |
| Phono Pre with volume control? Ditto on the Aesthetix Io with volume controls. I had mine for ~4-5 years. I haven't needed pre-amp to provide an additional gain stage. Highly recommended not only for its musical production, but Jim White of Aesthetix really gives great customer... | |
| Basis Debut Mk v or Walker or Brinkman ? That last post is funnyI thought you were kidding Rcprince, but I always like to talk about my car and music systems. Have a good weekend! | |
| Basis Debut Mk v or Walker or Brinkman ? I hope Strapper211 is not considering selling a BMW 2002 M5 to cash in on a new TT. As good as music system gets there is nothing more fun than the feeling you have connected to the road while driving a M5. He may regret that choice. IMHO, always ... | |

| Feedback on new Ayre MX-R Monoblocks This thread is a perfect example to why a potential buyer must insist on a home demo. Home demos are one of the major services that local dealers can provide and why we should support local dealers when possible. Look at how many were happy with t... | |
| Ayre MX-R vs Lamm M2.2 Opinions IMHO, these two very good amps couldn't be more different. You got to do home trials in your system before deciding. All of our systems are widely different and sound different in our home environments. I've just gone through a month of doing tria... | |
| Jadis JA30 for Wilson Cubs? Hi,I've owned the JA-30's and JA-80's (for 10+ years) on Quad's and Wilson WP 3/2. The JA-30's will be underpowered for your system from my past experience. You will not get the type of musical dymanics that your Wilson's can produce. They might l... | |

| Von Schweikert VR5SE versus Wilson Watt Puppy 8 Congrats you saved a lot of money, got good musics and feel really good about that. Keep enjoying the music from your VS VRSE's.Speakers are always personal Judgments. I also have owned Wilsons and Quads at various times and right now I'm enjoying... | |

I hope you know that several reviewers, TAS chief editor, and lots of knowledgeable audiophile and music lovers within 45 minutes of stanford. I can imagine lots of interesting topic perhaps two 30 minutes shows a wee... | |
| 845 Tube vs KT90 I've owned both JA-30's and JA-80's (numerous NOS KT-88's, EL-34's and KT-90's) when I had Crosby Modified Quads and they were great sounding amps. Yes the music and picking speaking to fit that music are the two most important things to do. I swi... | |
| Feedback on new Ayre MX-R Monoblocks I heard them briefly in the Analog room in San Jose. I'm not sure when they were turned on, I was told they were were broken in. Sounded poor at that time(I suspect they hadn't been on long from the sound), but I'm going back to hear them once the... |
