| Parsifals vs Mahlers - best for what I got? I could easily live with the parsifal ovations. I spent quite a bit of time auditioning them at goodwin's high end in boston. plus the quilted maple finish is hard to beat. They work best out from the wall but 3 feet should be ample. great with lp... | |

| Are tiny subwoofers worthwhile? i used a velodyne hgs 10 in a 10 x 8 room with a small theatre setup with great results. too much bass if you wanted it! the trick is to set it up with a sound meter to keep it in check. | |

No other turntable has the ri... | |
| Are turntable interconnects different?? No (use whatever sounds best to you) grounding makes a difference with the scout depending on phono preamp and cartiridge choice. | |
