| Stand out phono stages Exlibris, No I have not. Although at one time Aesthetix Io was on my short list for potential phonostage prior to my ownership of Vendetta and the Zanden 1200. | |
| Radiohead: In Rainbows -- Vinyl or CD? Agree with Lush. The CD version has too much compression and thus loud. Way too loud. Am awaiting my Vinyl copy. | |
| Anybody else heard the Avalon Acoustics Isis? Hate to continue comments on MBL 101E but I think I need to respond to Dev adn Sydsrig's questions.Dev, Looking back on the auditions at two different set ups many time last year, I am not sure which components of all MBL system contributes to my ... | |

In my experience, Zero to minimum signal is lost in Vinyl reproduction, so music sounds natural as it is intended to be (assuming recordings are great to begin with). Even a modesy well put together and set up TT rig would be ... | |

| Top ten tube preamps Foe me It is Zanden 3000. Uncannily life like harmonics and tonal balance. You can hear in to low volume details clearly. Vocals are extremely lifelike and jumps out in the room free of speaker plane confinemnet. With minimum hifi like (of course ... | |
| Stereophile or Absolute Sound Sterophil still rules for the reviews, mostly due to supporting measurments. The absolute sounds edges out the Stereophile by wide margin in music reviews. Hifi + I don't sunscribe to but order some select issues has best of both Stereophile and A... | |
