| Grand Prix Monaco review in new Stereophile- OUCH Fremer should be reviewing the new Sota Cosmos IV with SME V and Dynavector ZV1's. On second thoughts NO. He would probably thrash it because it's not worth $150,000. | |
| Making your ARC 110/210/220 dead quiet I have a pair of ARC Classic 120's and although i do not find the fans (2 in each units) that "noisy", for critical listening i do with the cages off the units. I also like to see those tubes blueish glow in the dark. Having said that, i have a PS... | |
| Are the Nitty Gritty vacuum cleaners... I do the same as dmgrant1, i have a mini Pro 2 (solid oak) for approx. 10 years and it works like a charm. Never had it serviced. I use the Disc Doctor brush and solution to scrub/wet the record. Then i rinse the record with purified water. Then i... | |

| Anyone have any thoughts on Audio Research REF 1 Hi Rob, I agree with both Jimmy and Mitch. I have own several pieces of ARC gear over the last 20 years (SP9, SP14, Classic 60, Classic 120, PH3SE, LS16 MK1, REF2 MK2, REF Phono). If you can get your hands on a REF2 MK1 the better. Unlike the MK2 ... | |
| Verity Parsifals to Von schweikert VR4 Gen III ?? Hi RoyY, I have owned a pair of Logan Sequel II for 16 years until i decided it was time for a change. I had changed or upgraded everything else in my system so it was time. The Logans had given a wealth of enjoyment over the years. Long story sho... | |
| SOTA Nova vs SME 20/2 Thank You all for comments/reflections on both TT. I have been doing some thinking and it really comes down to this. The Cosmos at $6000.00 is about half the price of the 20/2 at $11,000.00. How much performance of the 20/2 do we get from the Cosm... |
