| finding the right speaker? I had 2ce's for many years, and I moved on to Odyssey Kismet reference speakers at 3200.00 a pair. Best investment I ever made. You get the bass of the vandersteens, but a little more detailed treble that is non-fatigueing. | |

| Best surprisingly good value component +My Odyssey Kismet Reference Loudspeakers. Bought them here used for 1250, cost 3500 new and they were only a year old and in flawless condition. Totally transformed my system. | |
| How to eliminate TT feedback/vibration I had the same problem with my VPI Scout turntable. I tried everything, then bought a KAB rumble filter. It worked like magic and did not subtract any bass from the music. There is a used one here in the classifieds for 99.00. I paid 169.00 plus s... |
