| The Hub: Refrigerators that can really sing Bill, keep the articles coming... they've been great. I heard the Type A's in 1979 and was utterly blown away. | |
| Whither Oracle Mk 1? Absolutely worth it. The Origin DC motor is considered an excellent upgrade. I don't know anything about the Technics EPA 100, but Vinyl Engine says it was their top tonearm at one point in time. The DL-110 can be improved upon. | |

| I Need an amp for some Nola Minis. What's your budget? What are you using now for amp and preamp? Here's a quote from a 2003 Stereophile review: The Alón L'il Rascal Mk.II's voltage sensitivity was very slightly higher than specified, at 89dB(B)/2.83V/m, which is also 2dB above th... | |
