SQ vs. Music
I never listen to what is commonly called music. This is all noise to me.I always listen for the sound, that's where true music is. 
Better Records White Hot Stampers: Now the Story Can Be Told!
Frank,I think of John Williams as the very best classical guitarist. I prefer him to Segovia and others.Perhaps, you could make a list of your truly favourite records and tell everyone not to sell or give them away unless under extraordinary circu...

Why don't you both stop this infantile nonsense ? Let us continue the discussion.

Have you heard the Everest ? Must be very powerful engaging sound with the right amps. "Stacks of ML-2's"...How would Lamm compare to that ?But, this thread is mostly about super phono stages. What about this ? Would it make sense to go even highe...

Why new thread ? Most of crazy audiophiles are already here.

Just upgraded main interconnects. $1100 used, cost of two white hot stampers. Now everything I have sounds one step better, very meaningful step. 
Your Top Audiophile Demo Tracks
Can agree with Every Word by Sade and Leather Cats by Oregon, especially the latter.

When Paganini is ready to be recorded I will happily pay $600 for any reasonably good pressing. Not before that.You guys are...whatever you want to call yourselves. Do you print money, anyway ?

I see. They just want to play the way they were designed to play.Your horns are Lamm tube powered but subs are SS powered, I understand. How would it all sound if subs were driven by tubes as well, I wonder ? And how many tubes would it take? 
Can't believe I let myself get sucked in again.
Oh we can help indeed. There is a Miller's thread going on regarding Hot Stampers, that's true audiophile discussion. The other two are about single driver speakers and cost no object phono stages.And of course as always - how to find the very bes...

What about adding subs to the Quad set up ? Would they integrate well ?

I can only give one example. Cielo e Terra album by Al di Meola. Speaking of the original pressings. Recorded in the US, so presumably the master tape was also in the US. I probably had ten US pressings, they sounded slightly better/worse but none... 
LAMM M1.2 - Feedback - Advice - Please - anyone heard these?
Yeah, Lansche have plasma tweeters. I have no idea how it works. They wear out, in a manner of speaking, and have to be replaced every..7000 or so hours, if I remember right. Elegant sound with Ypsilon.Greeks were playing music thousands of years ...

Right. MoFi reissue of Bitches Brew album is a complete junk compared to the original US 360 sound record and to the first Japanese pressing.Japanese JVC vinyl from 70s is great and very quiet.And who needs these 180g records ? This is BS. 
My ears are ready to retire!
However, ideologically I agree with those who say never downgrade. You might have smaller room in the future and may need different speakers and amp but that doesn't have to be downgrading, just changing.
