New EMM LABS transport
It's a marvelous CD. For about a minute! After that... 
New EMM LABS transport
The new transport is a significant improvement over the Phillips, even straight out of the box. Just received mine.It was immediately obvious on the Naxos Bruckner 9th that the transport achieves a level of resolution that the Phillips does not. T... 
Why all these JC-1's for sale?
If so, they don't know what they're doing when they check them. I had to return one amp recently because it ran significantly hotter than the other--new, straight out of the box.I still have them as a back-up. The hard-sell on these amps is absurd... 
Lamm M 1.2 against Tenor 300 and Boulder 2060
What's wrong with the Halcros? 
Edge M series amps, how good are they?
They lack musicality and are very clean but arctic sounding. 
Why the switch from Kharma/Tenor to DarTZeel/VSA
But have you been allowed to touch it? Remember: Lancelot was only allowed to see it, not grasp it. 
Why the switch from Kharma/Tenor to DarTZeel/VSA
My guess is that the DartZeel is a little more melliflous, for better and for worse, than many amps--I believe there was a review in Positive Feedback, or one of the on-line zines, that expressed admiration along with some reservations about the s...

Yes, Brian, it seems to me that since no system, however expensive, will achieve perfection (whatever that is), there is an understandable impulse on the part of some, not all, audiophiles to tinker, tweak, and experiment. You yourself have clearl...

Oh, I forgot to mention I went ultimate route of vinylphilia and got a mono Helikon.

Frank, either you or I, or both of us in tandem, have a special gift for stirring up the pot.By way, did you really have to torture the rest of us with your AA thread? What if I told you the Keith Monks machine was even better?

Come on, Rich! We're all audiophiles. Anyway, a little birdie told me that you've been playing around with different equipment recently.

Ah, I should have kept up the suspense, Frank! I'll check out the Loricraft. 
Why the switch from Kharma/Tenor to DarTZeel/VSA
yes, but I"ll be using them in a home theater set-up, not two-channel, with full Meitner 6-channel front end. I'm not prepared (gulp!) to say they're better than the Maggies. At least not yet... 
Why the switch from Kharma/Tenor to DarTZeel/VSA
By way, Frank, I've actually ordered two pairs of the Vr, Jrs. 
Why the switch from Kharma/Tenor to DarTZeel/VSA
Yes, I suppose you're right there, too, Frank, I wasn't thinking about it that closely. I should add that the Dynavector remains everything you said it was. But I do hope you get a chance to hear the vr's. While the jrs, as I indicated, lacked the...
