| AVM 20 or AVM 30 vs Mid-Fi Yamaha Receiver I used to own the AVM 30, and the sound was STELLAR. In fact when I recently built a system again around vinyl, I considered long and hard using an Anthem AVM as the preamp with a phono preamp, but Home theater was just not that important, so I we... | |
| VPI Scoutmaster vs. Pro-ject RM10 I don't much like the Michel!!l, it sounds veiled to me, but I do love the Scoutmaster, I have never heard the Pro-ject 10, but thought the 9.1 was very nice, it was on an isolation platform, so I am sure that helped.Once again though, get the Cle... | |
