Dead Can Dance 2012 Tour

Bondmanp, A great upgrade is to the M5-HP crossovers, which, IME, are more transparent, and provided subtle, but easily heard, improvements in soundstage openness, imaging, and transient reproduction.Agreed......I have them in balanced XLRs.Incide...

Greetings Professor (Timeltel),Glad you enjoyed the review.I enjoyed reading yours....of the Victor TT-71. A very thorough and even-handed description.Ignore Raul's preferences for the TT-71 over the TT-81 and TT-101.The TT-81 is simply better tha...
