Lehmann Black Cube SE II or Manley Chinook?
davelarz-I have a Classic and have demoed the Chinook. The Chinook should have a more convincing "realistic"  presentation over the SS  Cube.This of course is subjective. I have an all tube system. Phono amp, linestage and amp. Used Chinooks are s... 
Tube Phono with Tube Integrated Amp?
I meant to include in my last post regarding the Chinook as a hybrd(SS FET stage)-The Manley was impressively quiet against my  all tube(including rectifier) unit.Such that, I initially thought the thing wasn't working! It won the noise category.R...

Need Advice On A New Turntable Upgrade
dylanfan-If you’re narrowing down choices, and you choose the Classic, make sure it’s the very last of the production run. A couple of runs VPI decided to try incorporating an inverting circuit for stable AC feeding the drive motor.What this means...

andrex99-I didn't realize that link is probably useless to you since you're in Holland. Nevermind.Otherwise, A friend has one of these, perhaps there's a distributor somewhere in Europe. Nice sounding unit,especially for the price. US price in you...

Sgt.Pepper special on PBS
Amazing perspective just how things were done.Who'da thunk how complex some of our beloved songs were?How  about that last sustained note of "Day in the Life" or better yet, "Within you without you"?Sir George and the fab 4 were just ahead of the ...
