| Pani ... New ART-9 up and running ... Pani ...I have an Audio Research PH-8 set at 100ohms. It seems to be the best setting for my preamp and system. There's about 75 hours on the cartridge now ... and just like you said, it is still improving. We were comparing notes last night on ot... | |

| Snobbiest audio websites Trump's hair IS wire. Gotta say though ... he has the establishment shaking in its boots. Oh Gawd, I promised myself I wouldn't get into politics on this forum. Being to the right of Darth Vader I know I'd piss at least half of you off. Sorry ... | |

I haven't heard the CD version, but I use my vinyl release to initiate "newbies" into what a home based audio system can do. Its Swedish musicians trying to emulate some of the great American jazz ... | |
| ARC VT-50 Damage/Repair Advice Here's another alternative ... I own an ARC Classic 60 that I use for a spare amp. I've had it since new. When I sold my REF-75 I had to wait for the new REF-75se to be built. I took the CL-60 into the Tech to have it checked over and any necessar... |
