Mofi Sourcepoint 888?
Any new owner reports?  What surprised you.  Any downside?  
how many own Belles Virtuoso amp and preamp? and what's your experience?
I’m thinking about an integrated amp (simplifying the system) and remember the Belles name from some time ago. But I’ve read a couple of complaints about servicing. Any comments on that?  
Developing A List Of Tonearm Candidates For A SOTA Turntable
lewm, you must be right or that combination wouldn't have been so popular. I've owned a large number of turntables over my years in this hobby and the majority of them were suspended.  But the compliance of their suspensions could be quite differ... 
Developing A List Of Tonearm Candidates For A SOTA Turntable
I admit I'm surprised by the recommendations for the ET arm with a SOTA, although I know that seemed to be a popular combination some years ago. I would think any arm with more moving mass, such at the ET, would not work correctly with a suspensi... 
KLH model nine full range speakers
I trust you know that David at JansZen Audio continues to make repairs on the Nines (his father's design) if ever needed. Also, he might provide a list of recommended amps.  
The new Coda S5.5 amplifier: It's a "Petite Beast"!
Channel reversal? I've been in this hobby for decades so owned or auditioned many amps.  I've seen it both ways, logical from the front of the amp and logical from the rear. But really, the labels are for convenience, you can wire up either way,... 
Coda #8, Pass XA25, or Schiit Tyr to replace PS Audio M700
@thriftyaudio, "the 0.5ohm above 17000Hz"! How much musical information do you expect at that frequency?  It is higher than most instrumental overtones, so way above the fundamentals.  Also, you must have very good hearing if you are over 25-30 a... 
MC-MM-MI CARTRIDGES . DO YOU KNOW WHICH HAS BETTER QUALITY PERFORMANCE? REALLY?
lewm, for several years now I've used a JLTi phono stage which was designed, at least in part, by Allen Wright.  Mine is an earlier unit, intended for use with a wall wart.  However, a (more knowledgable) audio pal built a regulated power supply f... 
Wonder product?
Thanks for the replies. I called it a wonder product not second-guessing the audio quality but because both units seem so versatile.  I'm truing to imagine how it adjusts azimuth for example.  It can't be a matter of gain between channels since a... 
Ohm Speakers Status Update
@oldaudiophile, a parallel universe story. My sister had a pair of Ohm bookshelf speakers (Cs or Ds) from her first marriage.  Her new husband had Bose 901s.  I helped install them in the rec room and living room respectively.  My brother-in-law ... 
Devore 093 compared to o96
I’m giving consideration to DeVore speakers so appreciating comments here. It led me to the Prof’s long post and the Stereophile reviews.. It seems listening distance can be critical with both the O/93 and O/96. Perhaps that is the problem Herb f...

Oh no Raul, a new subject to argue over debate.  Should we listen with our eyes closed or open? ;^)  
Is the Townshend Rock 7 "the" giant killer?
I can't say the year but I met an English gentleman at an audio show who recently relocated to the US as the rep for Townshend Audio.  I was impressed by the Rock III he demoed and attempted to order one.  But there were production delays and I ne... 
MC-MM-MI CARTRIDGES . DO YOU KNOW WHICH HAS BETTER QUALITY PERFORMANCE? REALLY?
@rauliruegas, thanks for the kind words and memories.  Your visit was a wonderful leaning experience and meeting you was a pleasure. However I must make a correction, My Duntech speakers were Princesses.  The Sovereigns were much too large for my...

@lewm, you said in a few words what I attempted with many.
