Tab,The Eidolon Vision is a more expensive succesor to the Eildolon, but less expensive than the Diamond. I heard it briefly at CES, but w/unfamiliar electronics, so hard to judge. Cheers,Spencer

Suggestion for more detail
Poorguy,Have you listened to any of the really amazing Fantasy 45rpm Jazz reissues from Analog Productions? Some great sounding LPs like these will help you decide if it's a software or hardware issue...Cheers,Spencer

I'm totally confused about Hi Rez formats
Hands up for buying new vinyl. I recently bought new stuff from Elvis Costello, Jayhawks, Elliot Smith, Tift Merritt, and hope to soon get the New Allison Krauss and Patricia Barber. If funds weren't limited, I'd get the new Joss Stone, U2, all th... 
Whats on your turntable tonight?
That would go fine with the Brittany Spaniel in my listening chair... 
I'm totally confused about Hi Rez formats
Mgottlieb,From what I've read, more LPs are being sold than SACDs. If you think that vinyl is limited to "what was available in 1980, or reissues of it" then perhaps you the one "is just sticking your head in the sand. Or somewhere else." Plenty o...

I'm totally confused about Hi Rez formats
Rumor has it that Sony is about to stop or at least cut back on issuing new SACD software. There are other threads here discussing that aspect in detail. The biggest problem vs. CD is that there isn't enough good 2 channel sacd software. As alread... 
How are the blue note RVG CD's?
FYI,Very nice photo-essay on RVG in the current issue of Tracks magazine(John Lennon on the cover). Of course, the photos are by Francis Wolff of Blue Note. Cheers,Spencer 
Whats on your turntable tonight?
Zaikes,You are probably right. The reissue was pressed in 1995 and produced by Cuscuna, and doesn't have the bonus track. Nonetheless, it sounds pretty good, and I'd not have pegged it as digital source from the sound of it. Cheers,Spencer 
Whats on your turntable tonight?
Zaikes,No, I haven't compared the two reissues. I ran into one used for $14, at Red Trumpet. It says Limited Edition, remastered by Michael Cuscuna on the label. Impulse IMP-170, 180g. It's no Fantasy 45rpm, but pretty nice.Rick was been kind enou... 
Amp help for the Maggies?
Within your Budget, an Aragon amp would be the ticket. I've heard many Maggie setups, and bang-for-buck-wise, they are tough to beat. FWIW, agree with much of what Gregadd said about folks being too focused on power ratings, but when it comes to c...
