| dCS Puccini built-in preamplifier We first, have you tried the u-clock with your Puccini? That's a nice upgrade especially on SACD. It'll seem like a focusing ring on a camera...everything will gain a bit of resolution, present in space better, and be more interesting to listen to... | |
| 6 new Totem Hawks vs Used Wilson set-up ? I like JL35s comments, I'll add you could consider WP7's for a little less and spend that on a killer intregrated amp and be ahead. For the Wilson's to sound their best, a trained dealer installation is likely a must-even if buying used... | |

| dCS transports - Scarlatt vs. Pagnnini Hi, I am afraid so. I recently went from a Scarlatti DAC to a Vivaldi DAC and the difference is startling. I saw your system thread (nice system!!) and I wouldn't skimp on the transport unless you are primarily USB based. I prefer the transport to... | |
| Aesthetix Rhea vs. BAT VK P-10 Phono Stage I'd have to agree with jmcgrogan2. Years ago I had vkp10se and compared it to the Rhea in my own system. The aesthetix has more resolution, the bat more meat of the bones...I kept the bat...it's more they are different than one is better than the ... | |

| New Schroeder linear tonearm, any thoughts? All I can say is I love my LT arm...will be one of those things I'll never sell. 1) it sounds fantastic, and 2) it's just so unique and ingenious | |
| Cartridge suggestions. Hi, I used to own your BAT VKP10SE with a SME 20/2 SME IV.Vi arm. I was using a Lyra Skala at the time. I auditioned a Nagra VPS/VFS and bought it. The transparency from the midrange through the top end was better and the bass had more definition ... | |
