| New to TT's some advice questions First, let me say I have sold and sell Lenco turntables.The Lenco is a killer at your price point. For about $2k you can have a refurbished, replinthed piece of art that will certainly meet your needs. Easy to use, hassle free and a very easy syne... | |
| Buying an old Wadia or Meridiean CD player I've had the Meridian 508.24 for several years, purchased used. Never a problem and it sounds fantastic. I am a vinyl fanatic, but the Meridian amazes me. | |
| Song covers that are better than the originals The Chipmunks- All I want for Christmas...Or were they the original? | |
| Live vs. recorded I prefer live recordings. Even the clapping, screaming (although I don't like it) can be what the performer responds to, making it a more emotional, dynamic presentation in my room. If the performance is good, and there's a connection with the aud... | |
| The British Sound You guys have good ears! I live in Oregon and I can't hear anything from Britain.I wonder if audiophiles and politicians in Alaska can hear Russia? | |

| Speakers that excel at depth/layering/space I've tried many of the ones mentioned and heard others mentioned. My vote for depth (including separation of instruments, soundstage, balance) is Verity Parsifals. I have tube traps in the corner behind the speakers, almost everyone (non-audiophi... | |

| A 'First' System for my Son Go to Goodwill and get a receiver (Sony, Denon, I've seen Rotel there), a pair of bookshelf speakers, a Y cable to connect his iPod and you are good to go. He can use his DVD or game player for CDs. I posted a want ad to my audio group for a chea... | |
