| The best CD Player for the money The Oppo is a great player for a low budget system, once you've heard a real high-end system Oppo's, modified or not, are not an option, period. | |
| Grand Prix Monaco review in new Stereophile- OUCH My loss for never trying a Denon, turntable that is, and here is a quote from a Japanese website from a well known (?) equipment reviewer who gave it a:☆DR.IGARASHI 今日のBeer指数 90％ !!☆I like the beer reference here, and 90% is not bad for a dd tt th... | |
| Grand Prix Monaco review in new Stereophile- OUCH Lewn, I agree with you on the enjoyment and purpose of this great hobby. I just think we should not all behave as if the politics, that I illuded to, are not going on. You can do one of two things, close your eyes or speak up and say something abo... | |
| Grand Prix Monaco review in new Stereophile- OUCH Dlanselm, no not every manufacturer provides an accommodating price to professional equipment reviewers. One of those is called Grand Prix Audio.

| Grand Prix Monaco review in new Stereophile- OUCH Just to elaborate on my prior post. I too love the audiophile world, as opposed to the Wallstreet Journal reviewer mentioned, and don't think there is a more worthy cause to push for than listening to great music through a great system (that is, b... | |
| Grand Prix Monaco review in new Stereophile- OUCH That last piece was worth more advertising dollars for Continuum than a double full size page in that Wall Street journal mentioned before. Excellent sales pitch! And there you have it. | |
| Grand Prix Monaco review in new Stereophile- OUCH So, as we all know, the only way to truly have an independent credible opinion on a piece of gear would have been for a shootout type comparison, where Mr Fremer would be one of several experts giving his opinion. And you know all of the detailed ... | |
| Grand Prix Monaco review in new Stereophile- OUCH Triode, did you hear the "singing diva" on the GPA Monaco MP3 in the background? It may explain some of it, LOL!One thing IS apparent, listening to an MP3 on a cheap PC, is NOT a professionally accepted way of auditioning (anyone, correct me if I ... | |

Without the benefit of heaving read your review of the Monaco turntable, I thank you (Grooves)for your elaborate explanations above. They are insightful and valuable to anyone interested. I've be... | |
| What is new with the Memory Player? Audiooracle, I agree with your view. It's usually the small companies that push the envelope and come up with groundbreaking ideas. If that works out well and they can also manage business dynamics they may grow into larger outfits. So yes, buying... | |
| Sonus Faber Stradivari Homage? Shane, its all a matter of perception and experience. It's not that i couldn't live with the Strad's longer, its just that I've developed a different taste. Read my page for some impressions, and yes the Elipsa (aka baby Strad) just received a Gol... | |
| Sonus Faber Stradivari Homage? For any readers of this thread interested in almost new SF Stradivari, mine are 1.5 years young, really only just perfectly run in...and available. I'd consider any reasonable offer under the current retail price of $45,000. Send me a mail. | |
