| Review: Galibier Stelvio Turntable Just a quick 1-year update...The Stelvio is awesome! The turntable is the center of my system. Everytime I make a downstream upgrade (speakers and amplifier), the turntable sounds better. The Stelvio is definitely not the limiting factor in my sys... | |

| Coincident Eclipse vs Devore Mike,I auditioned the DeVores with Shindo Corton-Charlemagne (25 watts) and they were a wonderful combination. I would agree that the DeVore sound is just slightly to the polite side of neutral while the Coincident house sound is just slightly for... | |

| RLP - 1135 vs RLP 12- 295 Riverside LP I own the mono (RLP 12-295) and the pressing is great in glorious mono and the music is top notch. | |
| ss amp synergy w/wilsons Richard_Stacy,I have run my Watt/Puppies with Levinson 436's for a while and to my ears they are a very synergistic match. I would be glad to chat with you offline if you have any specific questions. Good luck with your search. | |
