| If you were to design a tone arm, what would it look like and feature? For tracking geometry and other issues, the Thales Simplicity II/Statement are hard to beat. | |

| Triode Wire Labs interconnects vs Acoustic BBQ? vs Mad Scientist? I've been waiting and watching for *months* for used Triode Wire Labs ICs to come on the market, and they NEVER do. That tells me a lot. | |

Huge companies can be a nightmare dealing with to get a repair done (Sony, Marantz) and will eventually let the serviceability of a component expire. Also, look at the thread on repairing Esoteric.Small companies may close, b... | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados Just finished playing through the Schubert sonata disks I own, and evidently different people respond differently to different styles of playing (all of which is doubtless excellent). Anyway, it allowed me to appreciate even more the Volodos disk... | |
