| Isolation stands: snakeoil? Even when the stand is leveled, there’s still some wobble due to the flexibility of the stand posts which are just screw-in legs and such. Is this solution just not viable for a proper turntable setup?I put the turntable on top of a 27 lbs maple b... | |

| Integrateds: Why do they all SUCK? A re-occurring theme in these integrated units are these digital volume control schemes, usually some kind of electronically-controlled resistor ladder. Even very high-quality units everyone loves like the Esoterics use these. Virtually all solid-... | |
