Apr 01, 2017	Should high-end shops be "OBLIGATED" to advise about component matching for best sound? They should not be obligated unless damage could occur through improper matching. This is between the buyer and seller.

Mar 25, 2017	Are You Sorbothane Experienced? I have a sorbothane turntable mat...and I find it works well. I tried the feet a long time ago and can't say it was worth it and made it much harder to set up.
