| modern turntable or old school dd As far as 'entry level' I would wait until you can at least go for the newer Rega model 3... there are several upgrades you can make once you go there.. OR go higher to the P-5 or P-7... that way you will really notice a difference and then you wi... | |

| Thiel CS 2 2 vs Snell C IV Well I'm a fan of the sound of the Snell so I'd go for those.. Snell's not super refined but easy to drive, easy to listen to, do very little wrong just not super high end. I've heard the C's, the D's, and own a pair of E IV's. I've heard the Thie... | |

| Great Music/Bad Vinyl - 2010 Edition "Metal Albums that are sonically great" You're not gonna believe this but,,, Black Sabbath "Technical Ecstacy" (the LP)wasn't bad...Also Deep Purple's "Who Do We Think we are" LP pretty good sounding. | |

| What are the alternatives for Kimber and Cardas? Just my 2 cents, as I have used both Cardas Golden Cross and Cardas Golden Reference, I'd have to say the Golden Cross work better for me. The Reference is a bit stale and very neutral, where the Golden Cross has more dimentional and fuller richer... | |
