High end turntables Why? 2 tonearms
Go for two arms! I do have several cartridges, mono and stereo. I have three three arm wands already set up with cartridges and always one is a mono. I live with one TT/one arm just because of limited space and what I've invested in it. I wish I h... 
wilson wp8 v. maxx2
Those 5A's are very good, but a totally different sound from the Wilson's as are Quads, Avalon's, Ceramic, B&W's, Sound Labs, Avant Garde, Magapan's etc. How can they be right but different? 
I want to talk to Wyetech Topaz's owners
Nice system I loved those Quads. It's reassurring information and I'm using the Koetsu OSP. 
I want to talk to Wyetech Topaz's owners

Nah! I have MS in Industrial Design and function/design/appearance have to work just right for me. That's why I've owned four BMW M5s in a row now and there's that same function/design/aesthetics balance in the WP8s for me. But, I can hear why you...

Thanks to all, I really appreciate your responses. I will check on the Topaz availability. The Topaz does seem very worthwhile (in all respects) to try first.enjoy life music with music,GerryM5

I'm very pleased and surprised there are three replies already! Sutts, Nutella and Nkj, thanks for the replies.Do you think a pair of Topazs can power my W/P 8s "well" - I mean "sweet". My new W/P 8s are more much more efficient and a much better ...

Turntable stand, steel, aluminum,shelves of ?
I took a different approach: Get phono front end isolated from listening area and use mass on the air suspension stand.I use an Arcici stand loaded with mass: Basis 2500 signature with extra platform, MSB 1" laminated steel/alum./lead beneath it o...

Best Amp for Sonus Faber Cremona Series
This is just for fun.I have no experience with hearing this suggestion, but with SF Cremora Series wouldn't something that looks great and sounds great be considered. An interesting pairing would be Pathos Classic One II or the VAC integrateds. Ha...
