| Maggie 20.1 and Marchand XM-44 I pulled the trigger on the Marchand crossover and ordered the stock freq's as well as a few variations that plug in as modules. Will let you know what transpires. Phil Marchand is a good guy to deal with should you have the inclination. | |

| Help with Turntable selection My first table a few years ago was the Scout with the JMW-9 arm. Right out of the box I though it sounded very flat and uninvolving and was somewhat disappointed. After a few tweeks, an isolation stand, new cartridge, Mint tractor set up, it did b... | |

| WLM Diva Monitor -- Personal Experience? Northern3light,I have the WLM Divas (floor standers) and power them with a Cary 120S tube amp and the results are a fast, crisp sound that is absolutely stunning. The 97db efficiency really mates well with the tube amp. | |

| MM cart recommendations for VPI Scout TT When I had the Scout, I used a Clearaudio Virtuoso Wood cartridge that really sounded great. I also added a Cloud 10 isolation platform with a noticable result. | |
| Cary SLp05 Preamp noise I found a bad tube that didn't test bad on my tube tester but when replaced, cured the problem. Macdadtexas, I've always admired those Cary's. I'd bet the sound through those maggies is incredable. I've got a CAD200 and see an ad for a similiar un... | |
