Recommendation for small satellite speakers
I'm looking to buy satellite speakers and a modestly priced amplifier to place on top of my large Pioneer Elite 52" TV. The voices coming through the speakers on the TV are often muddled and simply poor quality of sound. Can somebody advise me on ... 
Seeking Opinions on Clearaudio and VPI Turntables
Can anyone suggest which one of the above systems will work best to enhance the sound quality coming from two small speakers in my 52" Pioneer Elite TV? Picture quality on the Pioneer is fine, but the sound quality of human dialogue in ads or dram... 
Review: Project 1 Xpression Turntable
If all my old records were recorded at 33 and one-third speed, how will a SOTA MOONBEAM work effectively if the table is set at 33 speed?

Review: Project 1 Xpression Turntable
I'm holding onto the Emotion as a first choice but a dealer yesterday recommended instead the Thorens 295 MKlV which comes with either the OM10 or the AT-98E cartridge.Which way do you suggest I go finally?Thanks.Len

I'm holding onto the Emotion @$1K as a first choice but someone has suggested I also consider the Thorens 295 MKlV at $999 with AT-98E cart. Any thoughts?Thanks.Len 
Review: Project 1 Xpression Turntable
Would I be crazy in spending extra for the Clearaudio Emotion in lieu of the Xpression? In both cases, I need to find a cartridge which will work harmoniously with either component and not "break the bank." What do you think?Thanks so much.Len

Thanks for your input. I live in Florida and I can't find a dealer here who sells either the VPI or Clearaudio lines. Should I buy a unit strictly from pictures/specifications, etc., on the Internet or what?Len 
Review: Project 1 Xpression Turntable
I'd like to buy the 1Xpression but I have not read one "glowing" review of the Sumiko Oyster cart. that is installed on the Xpression. In England they supply the OM10. What to do? 
Seeking Opinions on Clearaudio and VPI Turntables
Can someone help me. I can't decide on the following decks- Pro-Ject Xpression MK11; Goldring GR-2, Rega P3 and the Clearaudio Emotion. I'm not happy with the Sumiko Oyster cart. that comes with the Pro-Ject. With the P3 and the Emotion I would ne... 
What Turntable to buy under $600 ?
OK. The Rega P3 will fit my needs, but what about a matching (quality and cost-effective) MM cartridge to mate with the TT?
