Why are HD downloads so expensive?
Even more reason no to support these HR download sites then isn't it? Sorry but so far no one commenting on here has convinced me that these aren't giant rip offs. 
Why are HD downloads so expensive?
I agree Wolf....stealing is just wrong...the end.As for the royalties..... that's the question.Assuming the royalty is the same regardless of the medium, then how can HDtracks justify a price that is the same as a 180g vinyl album?Both need to be ... 
How does Revel Ult. Salon II compare to B&W 800D?
Any comments on the original question would be appreciated by this future buyer.Ultima Salon 2's or B&W 800D's (not the latest model).

SME 312S versus SME V-12
John-But does that affect the way a Fozgometer works? 
SME 312S versus SME V-12

SME 312S versus SME V-12
Peterayer thanks for the insight.I believe I will save some cash right now and go with the 312.I like the idea if a removable headshell if it doesn't compromise the sound.Sweet...time to place that order :-) 
SME 312S versus SME V-12

SME 312S versus SME V-12
I'd also like to hear comments on this question as I am about to purchase a 20/12 and don't know if I am better off spending the extra for the V-12.I believe the internal wiring on both is the Silver Litz so it's down to VTF adjustment and the rem... 
SME 20/3 or Oracle Delphi VI or Garrard 301
So true.Nearly every 20/12 user I have encountered through the forums seem to prefer the XV-1s.We will see....... 
SME 20/3 or Oracle Delphi VI or Garrard 301
The Lyra Kleos is on the list too. 
SME 20/3 or Oracle Delphi VI or Garrard 301
Peterayer and Inna....those 2 are high on my list. Especially like the Dyna option.Diggory...Yes I am also thinking about the Jubilee or A-90.But just to throw a spanner in the works......How about a SoundSmith Strain Gauge?And here's the reason.I... 
To SME or not to SME?
Mordante...read his original post mate...he fancies owning an SME not an Oracle or a TW or an Avid etc.Mikesmith.......obviously you are interested in SME so don't let others muddy the waters.It's too easy to just list a whole range of different t...
