Realy Stupid Question- how do you pronounce Teres?
Ladies, gentlemen, I would like to know how to pronounce it too. If anyone cared to give a straightforward answer to an honest if simple question, I would be grateful. 
Triangle Stella vs Axiom M22??
Have you heard the Axioms? I haven't, and the company's factory-direct sales policy keeps these speakers out of audio showrooms, where they can be compared with the competition.I listened to the Stellas a month ago and was impressed, but for 25 % ... 
A Sad Day...
You may have felt you didn't have much of a choice here... and it IS sad, and I do sympathize... but I admire you for your ability to choose what needed to be done. Nothing is worth clinging to. You have kept your freedom, and that's the most prec... 
Help me spend $8,000 this is really long, sorry
Matt--from www.klyne.com :Voice: 360.273.8477FAX: 360.273.6991Do get in touch with them to enquire about dealers. Also, if you're interested, try Googling for SK-5A's available. ( They are rare as dealers. ) You might drop Nrchy a line about his K... 
Help me spend $8,000 this is really long, sorry
Klyne, yes. The Klyne preamps are extraordinary and their phono will accommodate any cartridge you ever want to try. If you can find a used SK-5A ( like mine ), which has a great phono stage built in, that would leave you with lots left over to sp... 
Triangle Titus 202 Opinions?
The Titus ES is the current model and it's a really nice speaker. Airy, dynamic, unboxy, fast, gorgeous mids, and respectable lows for its size. It did cellos and quartets very nicely when I auditioned it, but also drums and finger snaps. Depth an... 
Anyone with experience with ZU products?

Need a CD player to match
I would listen first to a Music Hall CD-25. Remember you can upgrade the power cord and it makes a significant difference.You will already have thought of the top of the Rotel, NAD and Cambridge lines. To my ear, the CD-25 beats them all for dynam...

Nice... is that an Audiocraft arm ? 
New Member - please help me build a rig
Cajunpepe, this is a little hard to respond to since your question is so huge and unspecific. You have already made up your mind about a lot of your gear, too. If you wanted suggestions for a phono stage, for example, you could just post on that s... 
Totem Mani-2 and Sim Audio Moon
I heard the Totem integrated ( now discontinued, isn't it? ) with Forests at the Montreal show 3 or 4 years ago. I have heard Mani-2's with the Moon W-5 also. ( This must be the combo Dbamac refers to above. )I thought both setups were extremely g...

What's Next?
You say you want to build your system around great speakers, and that's your choice. A lot of people do that. It's great when your refined, revealing, transparent speakers show you everything your source can do. But if you can hear everything your...

I have to say it--congratulations! You have practically written the textbook on entry-level cartridges in this one review. Anyone considering buying a new or used analog source in the Rega P2-P3 quality range would be happy to read it. I used to o...
