| Upgrade from Old Basis Ovation The Ovation is a fine turntable. Its suspension is similar to the Debut's and shares a lot of the Debut's performance. For about a yr, a friend had his Ovation located on top of his subwoofer. Absolutely no sonic problems resulted, which is an ama... | |
| Quad ESL 2805 or Avantgarde uno Horn? I owned Quad USA Monitor Pros for 6 yrs. These are similar to the Quad 2805s. Quads are superb speakers, with a cult-like following in the sense that people who have or had them LOVE them. Quad owners are on the good side; they are not equipment'... | |

The reliability is without question as is the support from Basis should you ever have a question. Part of the reason for the superior sound is the unique hydraulic suspension... | |
| Quads - Just a couple of questions Many tube amps do sound fabulous on Quads. Though some solid state amps will perform well. I used Rowland amps every now and then on my Quads with gd results. I've used & owned a number of tube amps and I have owned several diff OTL amps. For ... | |
