| musical subwoofer recommendation for 2-ch Consider REL and Vanderstein subs. Very fast, very tight, very musical. Subwoofers are omnudirectional and so you probably only need one sub. | |
| Music to evaluate Speakers and System I'll second Kr4s recommendation. Excellent advice. | |
| VonSchweikert VR4JR vs Magenpan MG 1.6 Thanks for all of your input. I will demo the Maggies again but I'm now leaning toward keeping the VR4JRs. For those JR owners here are a few tweaks which have boosted my JRs' performance noticeably. 1)Using Walker SST on all internal speaker conn... | |

| Modify Oppo 980 or add External DAC? Thank you all very much for the suggestions. I was inclining toward Celtic66's argument but Ruebent's enthusiastic endorsement has intrigued me into exploring the EVS mods. | |

| Ever herd of Gray turntables? Sugarbrie,Thank you very much for the information. It's quite helpful althougn mine is an updated version of those pictured - i.e. not as basic with improved arm, platter, plinth and belt-driven. Probably designed for the home market. | |
