| Walker prelude vs. Audio Intelligent This isn't a perfect comparison, so take it with a grain of salt, but: I have taken albums cleaned with a VPI machine and AI listened to them, and been happy. Upon visiting a friend, I heard obvious improvement after he cleaned my LPs with Walker'... | |
| Walker Vortex Vacuum Wand for VPI I dropped a hint on another thread about the Walker Vortex after I heard a prototype a few weeks ago at the home of friend who lives near Lloyd. Glad to know that design is finalized and it's now available. I will get one asap, as I was greatly im... | |

Although the MP3 has many attributes, take that into consideration. If you plan on using it mostly as a linestage, fine. IMO, it is worth comparin... | |

| Is it ok for tube amp directly to the outlet? Most conditioners limit current, therefore you are better off going straight into the wall. Cheers,Spencer | |
| 12' x 11' room with wall of windows You are going to work hard to make that room effective. Window treatments(e.g. velvet curtains) will be a minimum. A diagonal setup is worth considering and often best in squarish rooms. Play around on rives.com, realtraps.com, and audioasylums' a... | |

| Dodd preamp vs. McCormack RLD-1 preamp Pubul,I think there are only a handful of us using Dodd & Merlins, and don't really think there is any magic here. Both pieces tend to be very transparent and when any good transparent gear is used together, it tends to be synergistic. The tro... |
