Fremer's review of the Anna cartridge
I don't think folks are up in arms just because an 8k cartridge exists. They (I include myself so should say "we") are upset that something so expensive was submitted 3 times before the company got it right.....to a reviewer no less! And to top it... 
Is the V.P.I. Traveler made in China
Just as every athlete guilty of using steroids will deny, deny, deny, so that there is no way of telling them from the clean athletes, so will a manufacturer deny, deny, deny using parts from China, whether they are or not. So nobody on this forum... 
Everest dd 66000 speakers
They are both great speakers, for sure. I'm curious what speakers you have hard and which ones you liked most, and why. What size is your room, what is the rest of your system? What speakers do you have and what don't you like about them? What do ... 
From lehmann blk cube to Nova Phonomena with...?
Some folks do make upgrades that are questionable, or even go backwards. But the Nova Phenomena is a lot better. 
Stillpoints Ultra SS under your speakers?
Tbg,you gave me a good chuckle! 
Tannoy Prestige Speakers
In the homes of very refined gentlefolk who also know music when they hear it. 
The best speaker you ever heard?

Stillpoints Ultra SS under your speakers?
Oops, I was looking for an audio forum and ended up on a religion forum. Sorry.... 
Will either of the speakers work in 17X17 room.
Tough one. Neither has tight, well controlled bass. Stated a different way, each can be ripe in the bass. 
Turntable Swamp. . .what to buy?
How can you beat a VPI at the price? Harry is first class, contacted me on a Saturday when I was in a pinch. 
Monitor Audio for classical music
The problem is the state of most classical recordings. They usually have flaws on the harsh, overloaded side (big dynamic range of classical, especially orchestral, strings are hard to record well, horns, crescendos) so a cool speaker is likely go... 
just auditioned tannoy yorkminster
I don't know if I would go so far as to say *extremely* revealing. As a speaker that's known to be "musical", and I agree with that, with limited top end extension, they are less revealing than quite a few speakers I've used. I don't necessarily m... 
just auditioned tannoy yorkminster
I heard them at a show in Denver (same dealer) and was put off from Tannoy by the weird presentation. Luckily, I finally, concluded it was a bad demo (associated equipment made them fat, dull, with a strange midrange) and bought some on a hunch. N...
