| Help with Turntable selection Gandme,The WTL Simplex is a less expensive version of the Amamdeus. Not for sale stateside yet. It may still be out of your budget. A straight conversion from the New Zealand dollar to the US dollar was about 2K, hopefully less when they set prici... | |

| Go analog or upgrade digital Audiolui, That may be a good option. I may buy an Acoustic Sounds reissue. I can probably get an older Linn TT over for an evening and have a listen, a little more information to help make a choice. Although there are so many variables it seems wh... | |

| From Vandersteen 2CE to Devore Gibbons 8 or Focal I may have missed it but have you adjusted the tweeter and midrange levels on the vandy's. | |
| Ayon CD2 is AMAZING No buyers remorse from me. My first player anywhere near that much money.But amazing is what it did to my system. One of the reviewers of the CD-2 postulated that you would need to spend a fair amount 5000+ at least to acheive the same SQ on a tur... | |
| What of your CD's have good sonics? Elizabeth, you make a good point and you describe a trap I want no part of. I will still listen to the U2 War recording in the car, on headphones at the gym, out in the patio etc. Not all of the music I listen to on my main system has to be top no... | |
| Girlfriends and wifes, how do YOU cope? Divorce worked for me. A symptom of other issues I am sure, however listening to music at all in the living area would induce territorial marking by my wife and step daughter until they would run you one way or another. Sureal experincing two peop... | |
| What of your CD's have good sonics? I second the U2's " War" as unbearable. Yesterday I started listening to the CD and could not believe how poor the SQ was. I injured my shoulder reaching for the mute. |
