| The end of LP collecting???? It would seem that with all the new high end turntables, cartridges, and phono amps being bought out there today people might be looking for something to play on them. It also makes sense that as more and more people get back into analogue play ba... | |
| speaker cable length question It depends on a number of things. What your pre amp is feeding to the amps and whether you are using balanced or single ended ICs for starters. I am running six meter XTR ICs with a 600 ohm feed from the Aesthetix pre amp to Atma-Sphere mono blo... | |

| The end of LP collecting???? Plinko, what makes you think there is any disgrace? I'm serious. I agree with Qdrone, to point out in others a disgraceful act, shame on you, what's wrong with you! Is it some how OK to go out and earn a buck wherever else, Oh! but not on the sacr... | |
| EAR 834p Deluxe version or Audio Research Ph-5 Taters, Funny that you would mention Rhea as I own one, along with its twin the Calypso linestage. Truth is they are not cheap yet the sound I get from the pair rivals anything I have heard including the top of the Aesthetix line (i.e. Callisto/Io... | |
| Notice how many SACD collections for sale? For me SACD may survive as a format in that it sounds more like vinyl, it has that relaxed yet lively invigorating quality of real musicians making real music and that's a nice thing. Happy listening! | |

| What Shakespeare said about vinyl and digital. Bravo! So aptly put. Ha, ha, ha ;^)Long live the long play! Cheers! | |
| does anyone use vibration products with emmlabs? I use Aurios classics under my Aesthetix Calypso and Rhea chassis with excellent results. These gizmos really pay for themselves. Under my Linn CDP it sounded atrocious, I'm still not sure what happened there. Happy listening! | |
| EAR 834p Deluxe version or Audio Research Ph-5 For the love of music you could not go wrong with the EAR 834P. It has the musicality of well... real live acoustic music. I have not heard an ARC that compares. This little phono amp has excellent pin point sound staging and superb detail while n... | |
