| Smooth/Musical Bookshelves upto $1500 - $2000 I have had a very positive experience with NOLA Boxers, and indeed wrung then out initially with a pile of favorites that included Raekwon and Wu-Tang. Very smooth AND musical, with that elusive hip-hop "thump" that so many audiophile bookshelves ... | |
| Thorens TD 2030 Just a brief update: This table is brilliant. Being very familiar with that Maplenoll sound, what the Thorens doesn't have is that authority, that heft to the sound that comes with the sheer mass that Maplenoll brought to the table.But it is one o... | |

| Just an anonymous "Thanks" Mickeyf, I got fair value for it, that price being defined as what I paid for it 20+ years ago. I couldn't see asking any more, really. It went to a good home, and will be missed. | |
| Just an anonymous "Thanks" Ha! The Ariadne sold the same say I put it on Craigslist. I'm going to miss that behemoth. Such a great-sounding, stable, tweak-free platform. This whole going small is weird, but worth it. Now to find one of those Hans Olsen nesting dining sets f... |
