| Amps Atma-Sphere M-60 Mono blocks OTL design Doesn't using zero transformers defeat the whole point of an OTL amp? It's putting a transformer in and makes it similar to a non OTL push pull tube amp. | |
| A.J. Conti of Basis Audio has passed away. Sad to hear. I had many long enjoyable conversations on the phone with him too. | |
| Your Go to CD to Impress If you know the person well, if not ask what styles/artists they like. Then find something suitable. You won't impress very well if they don't like what you played. | |

| Favorite guitar players not named...... I was blown away when I saw Mike Stern and his band at the Vancouver Jazz Fest about 10 years ago. Some shows are just so good that you never forget. | |

| EMT direct drive and Technics SP-10 opinions? Lewn,Yes, Thanks very much for sharing your experiences with those turntables. I'll have to research about the Krebs mods. Do you have a link for that. | |
| EMT direct drive and Technics SP-10 opinions? Lewm, Thanks for your interest in the thread. I never included the SP-10 in the list.

| EMT direct drive and Technics SP-10 opinions? Just to be clear and to add to my opening paragraph. I only sold the Redpoint for monetary reasons. I much preferred it to the EMT. | |

| World's best Pre-amp for $10K and above? Regarding the old post about the mps-5 comparing to any top vinyl and master tape rig. What I heard was not even close at all and just another reminder that digital still has a long way to go still to ever compete with the sound of analog. | |
| Why do my rolling stones albums sound bad? So is it not recommended to buy the 1964-1969 box set. I'm a big fan and want all there albums at the best sound offered. My original Decca of Let it bleed is ok. The later stuff I think is all pretty decent. My Canadian Tattoo You, Emotional Resc... | |
| Preamp for Aesthetix / Atma-sphere With the Atma-sphere MP-1 you would get an extra phono stage too. Has anyone ever compared it to the IO. | |
