Hi Twl, and thanks for your reply. I'm still frankly astonished. Thankyou again. I posted a new thread of suitible superlatives in your name because i think you deserve it for this, but the moderators seem to have disallowed it. hence the new post...

Ordered Visaton B200 for open baffle. Am I alone?
Thanks for the responses. My B200's are on order and arrive this week! I'm fascinated to see hpw they compare to my Quad esl57's. Loudandclear, been reading your diyaudio thread. very inspiring. Found a great thread on audiocircle, where the writi... 
I'm New To Vinyl - Which Turntable Should I Buy?
Mc cartridges need extra amplification before the phono stage, usually in the form of a step-up transformer designed for the job. Phono stages can have the transformer built in or an extra amplification circuit to do the job. Which is better is a ...

Are the TT's of the 70-80 as good as the new ones
Check out Johnnantais's monster thread for a massive discussion on this very subject. I agree with Dopogue totally. My Lenco GL75 is tremendous, and I'm assured by Hi Fi World magazine that the Garrard 301 and 401 outperform easilly the Michell Or... 
I'm New To Vinyl - Which Turntable Should I Buy?
George, the phono stage/phono preamp are different names for the same thing. The connections are turntable to phono stage to a line in on your preamp. Many say that the phono stage is the most critical amplification with tt's. Also, you can get mm... 
Best speakers of the group? Your opinions please
You have to hear them in your room with your system, i think. I heard the Avalons at a hi fi show recently, with $50,000 cdplayer. The monoblocks used in this demo were $70,000 and devine to look at, but i forgot the name, so struck dumb was i by ... 
I'm New To Vinyl - Which Turntable Should I Buy?
Hi George. I'm coming from leftfield on this one. I use a Lenco GL75, which i think will outperform all the above tts, but which will need to be replinthed (a bit of diy). See the "building high end tts at home despot" thread. The last few posts b...

The $40K question on front ends
Hello. Having heard these and others at shows i've been seriously unimpressed with digital. And as for spending all that money, i heard a $100,000 rig (the front end was a Denson $50,000 cd spinner) murder the live Eagles hotel california. The own... 
How much $ to "match" digital in my system?
If you dont have much free time and have money to blow there are a lot of good modern turntables out there. If not a Thorens TD150 or Td160 especially if with a TP16 arm, or slightly better a TD125 will do good work to get you started. To give you...

Hello all. My god we've got a professor type in our midst. Happy xmas professor don. be "authorative". For my part I'm sitting in a 12'x12' room with low ceilings, listening to 7W of SET tube power driving my Quad ESL 57's to excellent levels of v...
