Rethinking Listening Fatigue
Cwlondon, well I can tell you my explanation is the most real, because it is fact... This is an issue nobody really thinks about, and with audiophile'ism most get very caught up in components themselves or better quality thinking they will automat...

not impresed with my system
Def Tech? Well you can do better, and speakers will be the biggest advancement you can possibly do at this point, however yes the most costly and difficult as well... I owned those speakers, okay, but not what I call good for most music, fine, but...

I had an extra set of Daytons laying around and gave this a shot, yes they are a direct replacement, however due to the design of the technics they have a swivel boot type footer built into the bottom of the table which is mushy that the old feet ...
