| Recommended cork platter for my SL 1200 GR Technics TT You house is probably too dry. Add a humidifier to you HVAC. The cork platter will change the sound and usually not for the better. Notice that many of the best turntable manufacturer's don't use mats. | |

| HARMAN INTERNATIONAL ACQUIRES ARCAM Arcam already has the worst customer support I have ever experienced.Its hard to get much worse. Buy something else like Denon or Anthem. | |

I just received two custom made wood racks from a small South Carolina company calledCustom Racks They are made of seriously thick maple and walnut. The cost for each was about $1900 dollars. They are quite heavy and extremely rigid. The vibration... | |
| Stereophile, no more bench tests????!!!! I agree that The Absolute Sound is a much better publication. As an editor I can see that Stereophile suffers from poor layout and indexing of information. This is a sign of a failing publication. It lives for the adds.Anyway any buyer should con... | |
| Oppo 205 guagers selling used units for twice the price... All of the product development for the OPPO comes from Menlo Park, the home of American innovation.

| How much do I need to spend to get a preamp that sounds better than no preamp? I agree about integrated amps. I have the new PassLabs INT-250and an OPPO MODWRIGHT 205. I doubt that I could get better sound from separates. To me if you have good speakers and anexcellent amp, the input sources become the most important issue.E... | |
