Hello, any updates to report? 
Linn Sondek LP12 - Cartridge recommendation
Norm, first of all Congrats on the Linn it's a great table with a lot of soul. Properly set up it's very hard to beat the sound it can produce. I've owned one, and had many a enjoyable evening listening to this better 90% of all the cd players out...

Hey Kids, I found time to go out and listen to the Rel Sub's today. My local dealer had a Stentor III(demo I think), along with the other various models. He, and I concur with member Semi. The B1 is all that and a box of cracker jacks. Very musica... 
Need some advise on DAC's please....
Dodson 218, Stax X1T (really liked it) Levinson 35 w/HDCD, Wadia 27IX 3.0 and of course the Zanden MKIV. Again, the budget was a pivotal turning point for me. If I decide to get out of the digital thing? at least I can sell of the Zanden quickly, ...

Sorry, the "GUARNERI's are the subject! 
Need some advise on DAC's please....
Film @ 11After, VERY careful listening, and budgetary concerns.(No BURMESTER, or MBL 1611's ) The winner is the "Zanden" MKIV. I ordered it on Sunday, May 30th. It should arrive by the this next weekend Friday, June 3rd. I will of course be unavai...

You, may also want to consider Thiel's new "SMART SUB", or the time proven "B&W" reference (ASW850) Both, offer the flexibility and dynamics (speed) necessary to integrate with Wilson's. Either of these are worthy of applause! 
Your "DREAM" piece
In my mind a "DREAM" piece would be "Pamela Anderson" this would be the most synergistic addition to my, er...system! 
Tube Pre-amp recommendations for Maggie 3.6
What's the Budget??? If, you can swing it ($6500.00-$7500.00)BUY, a used "Tube Research Labs" GTP3, or 4. This will end of the chase for the Holy Grail, And you will still have money left for other goodies... 
Which would you choose?
What, is it about the Martin Logans you like? VS. Quads, Maggies, or for my money and I've personally owned all of these. The Apogee's, I think will still out perform Any of the ML's. Something to look into before you spend the $... Also, the elec...
