| The Best Amplifier Ever ? Calling anything the "Best" is perhaps misguided. As Mikelavigne mentions, there are too many variables such as room size, treatments, speakers, cables, sources, etc. It all has to jive together. Maybe the reveiwer that made this system had comple... | |
| Have I ruined my stylus? Leaving the stylus running in the lead out groove isn't good in my opinion, when you consider the back and forth shock involved when the cartridge is thrown back into the inner part of the lead out grooves. Will 8 hours ruin your cartridge? I'd in... | |
| Death of Vinyl? Nah "If anyone wants a religious experience in sound, listen to Lloyd Walkers' turntable". Or the turntable that it was patterned after, the Mapelnoll Airadne Signature ... | |

| LAST???? Has anybody tried this? I've never seen water siphon its way up a drinking straw, neither with pop, water, nor any other low viscosity fluid. I'll also add that I've never seen any fluid siphon its way up any cylinder (such as a hollow cantilever) on the outside surface,... | |

| Will this FIM 880 open up & let some detail in? Sounds like you prefer the sound of the silver in your system, with your hearing. Maybe the silver contact Acme will suit you better? The FIM take about a week to break in. | |
