Sirius and Walker
Inna: Good question. At times I have heard the Continuum Caliburn surpass the sound of the Rockport and at other times, it did not sound close. I would definitely consider it right there or even possibly better.Other than the Continuum, I have not... 
Sirius and Walker
Hi Dan,Two very different takes on vinyl. They are not close in any way that I hear.I prefer the pace, timing and clarity of the Rockport. There is a solidity that I do not hear with the Walker. This is not meant in any way as a slight on the Walk... 
EMT turntables as good as other great vintage TT?
Jweiss: I totally disagree. Fbhifi is correct. The EMT 948 is designed to drop in and hang. A purpose built plinth allows the turntable to work more the way it was designed. 
Why Use Aluminum for a TT Platter?
The idea of "big" or extremely heavy platters is mostly for use with belt drive tables which I believe, in terms of speed accuracy, are clearly inferior to properly implemented direct drive tables. And yes, when it comes to belt drive, it is about... 
Ortofon A-90 Tonality Question
You really need to be patient. The cartridge does take some time to break-in. Wait until you have 60 hours or so on it before even considering doing any critical listening. It continues to change for a few hundred hours. The last thing to come in ...

Datzeel vs Asr Emitter exclusive vs Devialet
Zappa1969: You said, "Ultimately I will have to listen to Darzeel and Devialet to conclude my decision. I prefer Anologue as a front end and wonder if the Devialet, being a digital amp and DartZeel CTH-8550 with its firmware updates may lean more ...

No Lbelchev, the MMMicroOne is not a transmission line. We will update the website in the next few weeks or so.

Hope I can shed some light on the stands. The optional stands are a very unique design. The MMMicroOne loudspeakers attach to the stands by bolts and employ a very effective vibration control method that was inspired by Wave Kinetics. 
...Room friendly speakers?
I am very familiar with the Mahl;ers as well as the other speaker you mentioned. You might want to look at the loudspeakers we make. They have sealed woofers and are adjustable in the bass and tweeter for any room. The frequency range, in-room, is... 
Playback Designs vs. Berkeley
"Jonathan, I wonder if you can elaborate the upcoming USB upgrade a bit more. I am in the process of auditioning Weiss INT202 to compare to my Lynx AES 16 card but it seems like I should wait to see what's going on with PD USB first."Suteetat: We ... 
Playback Designs vs. Berkeley
Kana813: Thank you. 
Playback Designs vs. Berkeley
Kana813: The Metric is a good pro-audio dac. It certainly does not compare to our products, nor is it meant to. You should really find a way to listen to it.I will tell you that we have a DAC coming out which will be officially released at CES in ... 
Playback Designs vs. Berkeley
Kana813: I think he was asking about the Playback Designs DAC (MPD-5), not the player (MPS-5). It is $4000.00 less.SACD/DSD collections really have very little to do with why people are buying a PD. Most of the owners we have use them for redbook ... 
Schroder sq and the new talea
Goldeneraguy: "There's an app for that!" I have an iPhone and when I sensed that when the Schroeder was being played at louder volumes, I pulled my phone out and started measuring.
