| Rebuild or new cartridge with my zeta tonearm If you were happy with the sound of your Sumiko go for the rebuild it should sound as good if not better than new.I had my Sumiko BPS Evo 3 rebuilt and was very happy with the results | |
| Reliability of brand If you decide to go integrated check the Parasound Halo it really pairs well with Maggie 1.7 speakers. I ran mine that way and it was amazing sounding.It also offers just about everything you need. The older model should be available for under $15... | |

Rory Gallagher just received my 3 CD set Blues forget Clapton forget Stevie this set is it 1 CD acoustic, 1CD electric and 1 live all played incredibly.

| Primaluna EVO 400 vs. stock Cary SLP-05 preamp? I haven't heard either but reading the web pages I would stick with what you have if you're happy, I imagine the upgrade will even deliver more and it's made in the USA. | |

| For older guys The one thing I remember was he always seemed to have the sheet music in front of him on tv. | |
| Magnepan dealers Not sure where in the Northeast you are looking but I know Natural Sounds in Framingham Ma and Audio Connection in Verona NJ sell Maggie's I think there are other stores in CT and NY that do also. As others said it maybe hard to find the LRS at a ... | |
| Bose 901 Series 1 & 2 versus KEF 104/2's and 105/3's I had 901 series 3 and always thought they lacked true highs vocals always sounded like they were recorded in a cardboard box. You could get some rumbling bass but not clean distinct notes. They also did not project and stage instruments in space ... | |
