| Review: Music Vault Diamond Transport Well done. I will add that I have had a similar experience with the Music Vault II, which is NOT hi-rez capable. I stream from the MV to a Modwright Transporter, using its DACs to provide an analog signal to my Doshi Alaap and Doshi Lectron. It de... | |

Given that some arms do not work on some tables due to mechanical incompatibility, you can make an argument that you have to look at a complete "record player" as a system.

| Jim Thiel has passed. I've never owned a Thiel product, but his customer service is legendary and his respect universal. Customer service is not even a zero sum game for a manufacturer and the loyalty of his customers and the accolades he earned from neurotic, OCD audi... | |
| Looking For Neutral Tube Amp Recommendation If your pre puts out a balanced signal, a pair of Atma-sphere MA-1 or MA-2 monoblocks might be a good choice.

| Vintage Infinity speakers with emit tweeters.... how big is still bookshelf? I used a pair of RSb's years ago; 3 way w 10" poly woofer, 5" poly mid and emit tweets. I still have 'em; the emits and mids are fine, the woofs need to be re-foamed. They are about the size of KLH 6s. Very nice sound w... |
