| Connecting a sub which way to go This is about the wilfull spreading of inaccurate information, not about Paul McGowan as an expert. REL doesn’t control the subwoofer market. I’ve tried their products and was unimpressed. | |
| Bookshelf speakers for near-field (desktop) use I use a pair of Wharfedale Denton 80th Anniversary speakers and I think they sound really good. Very easy on the ear and are very smooth across the audio band. Good value and they look nice too. | |

| VPI counterweight I have a VPI Aries2/JMW 10.5 arm with a Lyra Delos cartridge, which weighs in at 7.3 g. I am quite sure you won’t need any additional weight on the arm because I still have quite a bit of tail left on my arm to extend the counterweight out to acco... | |
| Highest BUILD quality tube amps? +1 jazzman: Manley Labs. I have communuicated with Eve Anna several times and she is VERY responsive and supportive. Remember, they make their own transformers in house! | |
| Recommendation on power amp And, if you can't swing the $15K, their Stellar line (S300 and M700s) is next best. I have the M700s; finest amps I've ever heard. | |

| A DAC that can make digital sound analog? I am an analog fanatic. Most of my source listening is from vinyl and, over the years, I have owned many CDPs and several standalone DACs. Recently, I traded in a high end DAC for a PS Audio Gain Cell DAC to use as both a DAC and a multisource pre... | |
| Upgrade from Ortofon 2M Red to MC-1? Find yourself a good used Pickering XV15 (MI) and order a new stylus for it, the 1200 version, from LP Gear. This is a high profile stylus that sounds and tracks superbly. I have several quality MM and MI cartridges (Ortofon (2M Black), Nagaoka (M... | |

| Technics Turntables...really??? Thank you johnnyb53 for explaining the design and charter of the 1200 series tables as a high end machine. It was never designed to be a DJ table, it just happened to have yet a second application due to its durability and functionality. In fact D... | |
| Best multi-purpose subwoofer So whether on orchestral music, hard rock or something in between, the SVS line of subs will exceed your expectations. | |
| See the speakers Bose uses in their Critical Listening Room If I were Bose, I would spend all that development money on designing, constructing and configuring a moveable-surfaced auto interior as a test lab. Only in that environment can one listen in real time, make adjustments to placement, panels, shape... |
