My dealer carries Rowland, Totem and Luxman. When I enquired about upgrading my CD player he suggested Luxman as he felt that ... | |
| Why Don't you hear more about Audio Physics Speakers?? I owned the Tempos Plus a few years ago. I demoed the Avanti but didn't care for it. I thought about demoing the Midex but never did. For about a grand less I felt that my Bache Tribeca's are better sounding. | |

| benz micro LP or KISEKI PURPLE EARTH? I'm using a Lyra Kleos with my Gyrodec/SME 309 set up. I recently had a Technics SL-1210 GAE and used a Kiseki Purpleheart on that table. I agree with dover regarding the Purpleheart. I sold the technics table and really have no desire to swap out... | |
