| New to Vinyl, TT suggestions please VPI or Sota!!! | |
| My Forte 4a vs. Threshold T100 or T200? Threshold is still better sounding than Forte, the components used if nothing else were much better.T-holds are not depth champs, but they don't grate on your ears like a lot of SS, and the tonality is dead on. For the price of a used S series it'... | |
| How long should vinyl last? I have records well over 40 years old, I have always cleaned them with a Disc Washer,and before you nay say, it's done an excellent job. I now have (2) Keith Monks machines and the difference is awe inspiring. The VTL and like are not on the same ... | |
| Which Tube Amp? Have you heard the new Levinson equipment. I would go there first. Then find one used on Agon.Or--The Music Reference RM200, the RM-9 mkII, BAT maybe a little too dark, your ears hear what your ears hear.Maybe the OTL's have a listen with your spe... | |

| The Thor TPA 150 Monoblocks are incredible You wouldn't happen to have an interest in this product ala manufacture, rep, investment, or sales dept. would you. It sounds just like a magazine add. loon | |
