| ca 640p + thorens TD-160 +at150MLX+ Revox A720 The AT150MLX would be a good match with your Technics, especially if you mount it to a 14g Sumiko or LPGear ZuPreme headshell to increase the effective mass to 18.5g. I can't speak for the TD160; they used various tonearms and are from the era of ... | |

| Nagaoka MP-500, what's your comment? For a MM cart that has MC-like ability to extract ambience and low level detail, and isn't extinct like the Shure V15VxMR (but has a similar if not identical stylus cut), I very much favor the Audio Technica AT150MLX. This is in current production... | |

Vandersteen and Wilson address these issues in different ways, but between the two, IMO the Wilsons tend to be faster and mor... | |
| Speaker Recommendation for iDecco For a room that small, and with imaging high on your values, I recommend something with a near-ideal point-source plus a small powered subwoofer to match bass output to a rather small room. Two great candidates are the:Gallo Nucleus Micro satellit... | |
| Where to go after Polk LSI15's +1 for the GoldenEar Triton 2's. I just heard them at a factory demo at my local high end store's annual mfr's open house. If you like Polk and/or Definitive Technology, GoldenEar's the place to go, because the CEO/chief designer is Sandy Gross, w... | |
| Sold Polk lsi15 now what? PSB Image T65 (last year's model). Natural-sounding, room-energizing dispersion, very transparent midrange, and full, deep bass. They were $1200/pair new; now closeouts and used ones would be fairly new and should easily hit your budget. | |
