| Why so few high end line arrays? I agree with those micro dynamics at low SPL's. Line arrays tend to sound louder than the volume knob would seem to show. Maybe it's all those speakers (duh)?I think the one design issue with line arrays is the number of speakers themselves. They ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? I heard back from jim Hagerman.

| Black Sand Cable Power Cords How Good? Here's a link to a shootout/review of various PC's that I did a while ago. The Black Sands cables are very nice indeed, but it also depends on where you use them, and the cleanliness of your power, and ...http://www.audiocircle.com/index.php?topic... | |
| Ayre CX-7e vs. Bryston BCD-1 As good as my Ayre CX7e is, and it is definitely better in terms of the flow of music and the depth and spacial aspects, it just can't compete with good vinyl. But then not much (if anything) really can.I'm on the waiting list for the MP upgrade. ... | |
