| Great Experience with Feickert Protractor jmc, is the Mint turntable-specific, or arm-specific? Yes. They are basically turntable/arm specific design. Tell Yip you have a VPI Prime with a VPI 3D arm, and he probably has one in stock.If you have an odd combo, you can send Yip several mea... | |

| PassLabs 350.8 versus Ayre MXR Twenty I found the Pass had a fuller, more musical sound and the Ayre comparatively leaner, perhaps owing to the bass coherence you cite. I have found the same to be true. However, which one would work best for the user would depend on his associated ... | |

| PassLabs 350.8 versus Ayre MXR Twenty Audio Research Preamps and Pass Labs Amps are known to be Killer Combination. I agree that these companies make a great combination. I am running a ARC Ref 5 with a pair of Pass Labs XA-100.5 mono-blocks. | |
