| Turntable got absolutely crushed by CD IMO never liked any entry level VPI deck. They appear to be made well but Rega tables always seem to be more musical despite the "sub par" build quality. No one can deny Rega has great value in tonearms. I own a Rega P9/RB 1000 with an AT-OC9 mk 2... | |

| Worst Rock Band Ever !!!! To qualify IMO the band has to have some mainstream success. The Steve Miller Band.has very little to offer😠| |
| What is meant when someone says a component is lacking soul I equate "soul" being the human element of sound reproduction almost exclusively regarding vocal reproduction. | |
| Great music few are aware of. Any genre. Kate Wolf!!! | |
| Looking for an used, inexpensive pre amp $200 will not buy much unless you find a desperate  or ignorant seller. An Amber FF-17 is a decent vintage preamp (owned one in the mid 80's) that might go for $200? A Yamaha CX-1 , Sony E80/90ES or Proceed PRE are very nice newer preamps that cou... | |
| Up to $4500 burning a hole in my pocket For $4500 a Vandersteen unless a model 5 should not be a consideration. The 3A would be a downgrade IMO from a GE Triton One. Consider a KEF 205/2, $4500 might not be enough but desperate sellers exit! Except for the bottom octave the 205/2 is nea... | |

| Bladelius-Thor mk3/Leema-Tucana 2/Norma IPA-140? Sonicbeauty-Thx for the mini review! | |
| 2.0 Stereo speakers on a $2000 budget? I would recommend a "tower" speaker since your room is large enough which enables you to avoid the cost of speaker stands. The Silverline Prelude Plus would be my first choice, with some patience a used pair will pop up. JBL has the Studio 580/590... | |
| Bladelius-Thor mk3/Leema-Tucana 2/Norma IPA-140? Sonicbeauty thx for the response. The Norma first caught my attention due to the build quality and being a true dual-mono design. My only caveat was it's not a true balanced design. In a review the designer claimed the XLR inputs were just there f... | |
| Favorite guitar players not named...... Many names mentioned are known by the casual "mainstream" music crowd. Many music lovers would know and respect the following but are IMO still overlooked or unknown.Vito BrattaGlen BuxtonPaul GilbertEric JohnsonFrank MarinoRickey MedlockeGary Moo... | |
| Power conditioner help Inna- The bottom line is many companies do not want to recommend other products because there not paid salesman.  A few years back I was interested in a Coda CSI- B and Doug was not able or willing to discuss any synergy with a KEF- 205/2Being an ... | |
| speaker and interconnects, how nice do I need I would look for a "fast' slightly forward/engaging cables to help balance your system. I would look at the Signal Cable Silver Resolution line. | |
| Would owning Hoover Dam improve the midrange? Great point-darkj. The truth is mainstream people accept the expense of a vehicle that is disproportionate with income and wealth. How many people driving a $60k Suburban can logically afford it? Many of these people would sneer at a $2k suit-fine... |
