| Top Ten Tuners of all Time?? I agree with the post that the Yamaha TX-950 is not great in the sonics department. Any Onkyo Integra (ie, other than the T9090II) sounds better than the TX950. | |
| Help for connecting turntable You could get a Rotel RQ970 Phono Preamp. New list is $200, used between $100 to $130. They are Stereophile recommended. There are also very inexpensive Moving Magnet phono preamps that sell for $31 dutch auction on eBay. Do an item word search on... | |
| Top Ten Tuners of all Time?? Yamaha T-2 Nice also. Also Onkyo 9090II mentioned. Super expensive even though fairly old is the Marantz 10B. | |

| Vinyl or wait for the new stuff?? Vinyl is great if you are willing to make the investment in time and equipment. Even without it I would not wait around for the "next thing" in digital. There is nothing wrong with what is out there now (standard digital playback)if you match comp... | |
