| Good Horn Speakers Of Moderate Size Thank you for your responses, and keep them coming. I had not heard of Aspara before. I don't have a particular budget in mind. If something is great, but expensive, I can save up for it, as I already have a decent system. My horns + supertweeter ... | |

| Graham Phantom: Set Up Error Causes Skipping Thank you for your suggestions. I ran out of time last night and had to get some sleep. I'll try again tonight. I used the word "skipping"...what I meant is that it has a tendency to repeat the same passage. | |

| VPI Flywheel or Fishing Rod Wire on Aries Motor? It was Mike from vpi who gave me the idea about the fishing wire. Somene must have found a way to make this approach work... for their ears, at least.. | |
