| new Aja 180 gram vinyl pressing just arrived Well I was the ubiquitous friend listening along to the Cisco version as compared to the original ABC... For me the vocal bits seemed pushed back into the mix on the Cisco, yet the speed and textural detail of the drums, the cymbals ringing cleare... | |

| What Record Clamp for LP12? None... The bearing and suspension were not designed to include it. I've been an LP12 owner since 1982. LOLHappy (unconstrained) Listening! | |

| Heil AMT's - anybody have any experience ? I had a pair of ESS Heil AMT 1b's new from about 1978. They sounded great especially for Rock music. I drove them at the time with a HK PM660 integrated. From a audiophile standpoint there was a bit of a rough spot in the crossover from the mids a... | |
| Power Conditioner Cheap? Good power conditioning can not be done cheaply or without system dependant complications IMHO.I would also agree with Rushton. This is a great place to start for relatively small dollars. Dedicated power sorted out a multitude of things in my sys... | |

| How to audition used speakers??? My humble advise is to never buy speakers without hearing them driven by the power amps one intends to drive them with ultimately (period). And in the same room you plan to put them in, if possible.Yes, I know this is more difficult and sucks but,... | |
