| John Potis - Rest in peace Unless some copyright or other legal right of usage issue exists, I don't see anything wrong with using another person's endorsement of a product to promote a product. That's a most common occurrence in marketing and generally is a positive reflec... | |

| Linn LP-12 still competitive with the very best? Redhunter,I'm curious what cartridges have you used in comparison between Axis and LP12 and with which tonearms and corresponding phono pre?IS it an apples/apples comparison of equally well matched cartridge to tonearm in each case and playing thr... | |
| I am sick of cables Mmarvin19,I am similarly hard pressed to find a reason to change cables in my current system. The MIT Terminator line ICs I use absolutely sing and are affordable when you find them second hand.$$$s do not necessarily determine utility with ICs I ... | |

| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Interesting about the Blue Circle speaks. There are other makes using Walsh designs, like German Physiks, but none other than OHM using OHM walsh drivers that I know of.I'd like to see what is under the hood on those PEnnys. Maybe you could share ... | |

| Speaker for low volume listening with high WAF It would be Triangles for me. I think these fit your requirements perfectly.My Titus 202s showed me that there could be life without Maggies and with high WAF at both more moderate and higher SPLs | |
| Thoughts on the best bang for the buck Pduff,Sounds like a reasonable plan.Good luck! | |
| Thoughts on the best bang for the buck BAsed on what sfar said, it looks like the Decco or perhaps eve Nova as pre-amp outputs that enable it to be used with a separate power amp. That would excellent!You could start with Decco or Nova and then upgrade with a separate high power power ... | |
| Jitter reduction, best device? Rbstehno,I know a PC can provide a good digital source because I am doing exactly that in my system alongside feeding from a CD player/transport. In my case though the true source from the DACs perspective is the Roku Soundbridge, which is a devic... |
