| Best Turntable/arm/cartridge system for $30k For USD30k, I would think seriously about flying over to the UK and buying the TT etc there. With the pound/dollar exchange at the moment, you can get much more for your money, even allowing for the flight and the shipping. Charlie | |

| Allaerts down-repair or ?? TP,I sent my cartridge directly to Jan by insured post. It's quicker. He emailed me once he'd received it and usually answers his emails.I think he's quite proprietorial about his carts and doesn't like anyone else rebuilding them. Mind you, his r... | |
| Allaerts down-repair or ?? I would email Jan directly. He's very nice to deal with. Things have been a bit difficult recently as he had a family bereavement, I believe. I had my MC1B rebuilt by him. It took 8 weeks and 800 euros.Charlie | |
| Forward sounding speakers that Rock Try the small Avantgarde Solos.They have plenty of WAF, even for horns. They certainly rock and you could even sell your Brystons as well as they're active. I bought some second hand Solos for my Brother and they're a great speaker. Not quite as g... | |

| best phono preamps? TRON Syren pre/phono or TRON Seven phono only stage. Top class build and sound from a Boutique english designer. Jeff at Highwater Sound in NYC is the US distributor.Charlie | |
| Decca London Gold cartridge nightmare I agree with the others. The Deccas work in unipivots best. I've got two Deccas - a Maroon and an original Garrott Brothers Gold rebuild - sublime! I've been using deccas since the late 1970s in a Hadcock and then later in a Schroeder Model 2.Sinc... | |
| Help me get back to vinyl ZYX RS50 Bloom and the Cambridge 640P phono stage. The Rega arm will handle the ZYX without any problems. If you want sound staging at that price, that's where I would put my money.Charlie |
