| Best transport for under $500 Think about a Pioneer Elite PD-65. Good stock, and can be modded later for better performance. | |
| Garrott P77 with Decca international arm? No, I mean one of the new ones. I'm extremely nervous about used cartidges, or even older ones. | |
| Garrott P77 with Decca international arm? I was looking at the specs for this cartridge, and it's actually a higher compliance cartridge than the current production Decca London. This seems promising. | |

| How does a good mp3 sound? There are a ton of lossless formats now, which sound better to me than the original cd. I know the iPod can handle some of these files and I'm sure some of the others can as well. | |
| New Turntable Do they still make these? I couldn't find any information on them at the OL website. | |

| Thiel 7.2: amps suggestions please I've ben auditioning a ton of McIntosh gear lately, and I have to urge anyone looking at the big Thiels to try the MC 501 monoblocks. They can put out massive amounts of juice into any load, and are a good balance in the spectrum of warm/detailed.... | |

| What's your favorite lyric from a song? "One man's riteousness is another man's long, hard sentance carried out." From Calexico's "Black Heart" | |
| Advise on Speakers Please These amps are a good, classic sounding combo with meadowlark Nighthawks. | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century There's a RAVE review of the Chardonnay on 6 moons (the reviewer bought it). As if it wasn't a long wait before. I wonder what the review would have been like if he'd gotten one with a phono stage? | |
