What's a better choice? Manley Steelhead Phono or Audio Research Reference 2SE Phono?
Which one do you like the looks of better?

YOU HEARD THE GRAND PRIX! So, Daveyf what did you think??? These guys design and make stuff for formula 1 and cart race cars. They are very serious engineers working at the tip of the spear. It would not surprise me if they killed it. 
Reed 5T Opinions
What geoffkait, the tonearm or the article? Mikey's review is in the June 2020 Stereophile and Visit Reed's web site. I'm not so sure about the turntables but they make really nice tonearms. Great bearing designs.

I think they are a technical achievement and very cool but i would never buy one. Way too complicated for such a small company. If the company goes belly up you could be stuck with a very expensive turntable you can't maintain and you can not sell... 
Amp & Speaker Synergy
Limo, you want an amp that can drive your speakers. If they go down to 1 ohm and are very inefficient you do not want to get a 3 watt SET amp.You will need a solid state bruiser for that. If they are very efficient horn speakers like Klipsh Heresy...

Lewm, that is correct it is just measuring the amount of leakage across channels and it does allow you to optimize this. As you have noted the problem is this does not guarantee a perpendicular stylus and the thing cost what, $300? A pocket mirror... 
Azimuth 2020
Peter Lederman is the last person I would take advice from. As lewm suggests it is a record wear issue not a crosstalk issue. Crosstalk goes to how well the cartridge was constructed. The the crosstalk is not at it's highest value with the stylus ... 
is the sound of vinyl due to the physical process of the turntable?
Dragging a rock through a ditch. But that is not what you are listening to.You are listening to an AC signal generated in tiny coils by the motion of a magnet or visa versa. Magnetic induction. This is followed by the electronics required to equal... 
What do you use to CLEAN audio equipment CASES?
1/2 distilled water, 1/2 91% isopropyl alcohol in a sprayer. This is also the absolute best car window cleaner. Dries fast, streak free. 
Speakers that are a great value!
Any Sound Labs Speaker. For $50,000 you get a speaker that is way better than any Wilsom, Magico or YG. 
Reed 5T Opinions
He said,"The arm's $21,500 price may be steep, but once you see the 5T in operation it becomes an object of desire. It performed flawlessly during the review period."You will also notice that Mikey has a problem with reading instructions and almos...

I prefer them horizontal.  
Qobuz vs Tidal
Sorry Will I did not see your second post. Very unusual to have a stroke in the optic nerve, maybe retro bulbar neuritis or temporal arteritis?And both eyes, that really sucks. Tell me, do you think your sense of hearing has improved? Art Tatem sa... 
Is This A Bad Move?
disknic, the problem is not so much how the speaker sounds, it is how the cabinet sounds which is dependent on its construction. 1/4" plywood backs are going to resonate like a drum head and other loose parts are going to vibrate and potentially m...
