| Why Isnt Techincs 1200 Considered Audiophile? I think this IS the best place to ask that question, particularly because, in this context, it is the ideal example of what that overused and abused word means. So, I'm here to defend Technics DD tables. I have owned/own, "high end" VPI, Rega and ... | |
| I'm thinking about a Jolida system, and would like to know from those in the know! I owned a 302b integrated for a year or so back in 2002 powering Meadlowlark Kestrel 2s. It was my first journey into tube amps and I have since owned, enjoyed and sold Rogue Cronus and (2) CJ CAV50 amps. I now have Manley monoblocks and a Stingra... | |
| Nakamichi Cassette Decks Dragon on the tinny side? You've got to be joking. | |
| Moving from MM to MC Nagaoka MP150 for $329.00. An MI that punches way above its weight and beats any MC in it's price range 3X. | |

| Is a GREAT turntable under $2000 possible??? I too have a SL1200GR and it is a solid performer. Good choice! | |
| Who wants the best improvement in their system EVER! You must follow the path, grasshopper. | |
| What is an excellent power cable? I like PS Audio's power cables. Been using them for 12 years. | |
| what turn table setup for my gear??? You have lots of good choices with your budget, and others will weigh in here and be critical of my choices (and frankly bring it on) so I’ll recommend what I have, because I am biased, and because yes, I am very happy with my set up. You will als... | |
| Please Rate These Cartridges in Best Overall Order of Sonic Importance. Recommended Arms? I only have two of these, the M97 (but the current xe) and the 2M Black and I'd put the latter above the former. | |

| Are We Different? The purpose of the gear and the system is to get me as close to that emotive state as the music is able to conjure. I don’t want to listen to my system. I want it to immerse me in the temporal pool of a musical event, which is sometimes the perfec... | |
