Top turntables?
I've been at the German High End 2007, there are a few Demonstration Set Ups with Turntables (Raven, DPS, Continuum, Audiomeca ....) Honestly, when the Line Stage or Phono Stage is dead sounding (and there are loads of them out there), forget the ... 
Which new Reissues are free of pops, ticks etc?
Hi Albert, no I was not the one at Ebay. Well, I don't think, it has something to do with my Cartridges or Set up. I tried those records with everything I have (Transfiguration, Zyx, Lyra, Miyabi etc.) and every Tonarm, the Result was always close...

Wavac MD 300B Monoblocks
I listened some time ago to a Wavac 300B, but it was a Stereo and originally built from Shisido. It was unbelievable good.It was connected to a high sensitive speaker (8 ohms, 96 dB+).I think, most "negative" Demos are a mismatch with speakers.

Taste is different, but my favourite Lyra Cartr. is the Skala.It has the detail the Lyras are famous for AND a kind of musicality and holographic body which none of the others showed.
