| What Turntable to Buy Totally agree with Doug,Raul. I'll go out a step further to say that, if you have ears, either VPI is something you will eventually replace once you realize what you bought vs. what else better is out there for similar money. A table designed and ... | |
| New Record Sounds Like Crap - How??? This phenomena drives alot of us crazy, I think. At the RMAF I put on Galibier's copy of Pink Floyd's "The Wall" and couldn't believe the difference in quality from my own copy, which I bought new in '86 and have played only 3-4 times. It's appare... | |

The distant very best sound reproduction I have ever heard h... | |

| Best Turntable: Acoustic-Signature, Amazon Refere I will strongly second the Galibier and the quality of character of Thom Mackris. | |
| Tube rolling in Audio Research SP16 I have tried Tele, Amperex, EH, JJ, and EI in mine (just the line stage - not using the phono).In my system the BB Amperex were the best by a very small margin. I settled on the EI as most pleasing overall. The JJ and EI were both right there with... |
