| Zanden 6000 integrated vs CJ ET5/LP125 pre-power kolatab, the Zanden defienitely sound more like my preference. I did hear the CJ combo couple of days back. It was nice but not great. Thanks for the information. | |
| Beethoven 9th by Solti, best LP pressing ? Thanks. I picked up the UK Decca pressing.I was also thinking of getting a Mahler symphony series of LPs. Which conductor would you recommend ? | |

| Can SMPS based preamps/amps sound organic ? The complete Naim portfolio relies on their ability to provide various levels of linear power supplies. Primarily the quality of regulation decides the price of their PSUs | |
| Why is an XA30.5 a bad match for Revel Ultima Salon II speakers? @bombaywalla , your calculations make perfect sense. I was just wondering if there will be any improvement if the OP uses 2 x XA30.5 in a biamp configuration ? I am not talking about bridging the amps to use as monoblocks but actually using proper... | |
| Can SMPS based preamps/amps sound organic ? Some times this whole game of primitive vs modern without the consideration of "sound" feels like a trap. | |
| Wavac LCR-X2...is it worth $10k ? Hi Raul,Your analysis is quite correct. Let me explain. I am rebuilding my entire system keeping only my existing speakers, TT, tonearm and cartridge intact. Previously, I was using a SS phono with tube pre-power. But with my speakers I will be mo... | |

I had some experiences around SMPS based equipments within my own system. I had a couple of CDP f... | |
| Klyne vs 47 Labs phono stage Thanks guys for keeping the discussion going. I now have the Klyne 7 preamp with phono with me. It is indeed a very special unit. This is probably the closest I have heard a transistor having tube like qualities without losing the transistor virtu... | |

| Klyne vs 47 Labs phono stage I agree that not many would have compared the 47 labs to the Klyne in their systems. Lets put it this way, where does a Klyne stand compared to current $5k-$8k phonostages from brands like Whest, Pass Labs, Avid, ARC etc ? | |
| Tonearm mount on the plinth or on Pillar ? Pani,Perhaps you should take note of an audio designer who actually designs and sells tonearms and turntables.....Someone like Frank Kuzma who makes the 4 Point and Airline tonearms and whose top-of-the-line turntable uses a separate armpod.I’d be... | |
| Tonearm mount on the plinth or on Pillar ? Dear @pani: Now that you have several opinions on your main subject thread: which was your choice? Dear Raul, the fact that this question occured to me even though I am a layman when it comes to technicalities of analog playback is an indicatio... | |
