Electrocompaniet owners
I'd buy Balanced Audio Technology rather than EMC. In fact, I did (and boy am I glad I did!). The BAT stuff sounds fantastic, looks great, and is very reliable. You have a wide range of choices in the BAT amplifier and preamplifier line-up, and th... 
Overrated & Underrated

Calling all "Vinyl Heads"
Analog folks are religious, everyone's rig is spot-on. For my money (and I've spent my fair share) I can't imagine anything better than an Oracle Delphi IV or V. Fantastic performance and visually stunning! A SME IV or V arm and cartridge of your ...
