What phono pre am I looking for? The new Jolida 159F phono preamp is killer! The 159 refers to the 159th circuit Jim Fosgate has designed for a phono preamp--Foz is a legend in audio circles and at 80 is still designing audio electronics. Since the previous distributor of the ... | |
Who makes budget speaker cables which are truly “good” or “exceptional” in quality? Anticables! Speaker, Interconnect, and Power cordsCheck out their testimonials and reviews. Paul Speltz does not advertise; depends on word of mouth. I have used many very expensive cables in my system, but Anticables have, to my ears, easily be... | |
John Dunlavy may not be with us much longer. I met John at his factory several years ago when I was considering new speakers. He took virtually an entire afternoon to give me a tour, demo his speakers, etc.--a very gracious,intelligent and fascinating man.He pointed out that all his speakers... | |

Silicone for Tri-Planer damping trough Doug, after all your posts on the subject, I bought a Triplanar from Mehran and mounted it with my ZYX Universe on my Sota Cosmos. I am floored that a tone arm can make that much of an improvement!! (moved from a Well Tempered arm) Easy to set up,... | |
Used turntable & arm combo for under $2500.0 For a turntable, check out the Sota website www.sotaturntables.com They have refurbed Sotas which are excellent values. Sota remains as one of the very best and the handcrafted quality is superb. | |
Musical FidelityWhich Integrated is best value? I've had a Plinius 9200 for several years now. It replaced a $10K ARC/Levinson combo and smoked it! Can't comment on the comparison you asked about, but I noted that the phono on the Plinius was a tad noisy, so I inserted a Sutherland PhD. Not onl... | |
Review: Dunlavy Audio Labs SC-IVa I have a pair of Dunlavy Cantatas that I bought after a visit to the factory and a meeting with John (They sadly went out of business shortly afterward). Of the many interesting things he said, one stood out in my mind. All of his speakers (that h... |
