| Cloning Class A Classics Continued.. Cayin and VAS claims to build clone's of a number of tube classic HK, Marantz and Mac units. From what I understand the design's are in the public domain. It is very hard sonically to tell if it is true as few people will have functional, working ... | |
| I need a turntable, only have $450 to spare... a used denon 47f is the way to go | |

| Great-sounding 24/96 stereo recordings look into some of the blu-ray audion disks | |
| Recommended new speakers for under $500? NHT has a good choice under $500 and you can now buy direct from the factory, on line. They have a good return policy so you can decide for yourself after you hook them up to your rig. In home demo is the best way to buy. | |
| Listening china.. any xindak, shengya experiences? Yes, the products from China are becoming outstanding values and sound great. Check out the Cayin and VAS lines. These are made in China from 'classic' designs but also you get USA service and support, from Steve. | |

| Tower Speakers and Room Size Before you buy any new speaker it is a must that you read Toole's 'Sound Reproduction' book. That should help answer the 'small room' question. I have both monitors and floor standers in the same small room, both ProAc's. Each has their merits. As... | |
| A Question About Reviewer Techniques All is solved, system synergy requires the manufacturer to send their component and all other parts, cables too, they want to be used to the review. This way, the system is reviewed. Now, if the manufacturer could just send the 'room' and all its ... | |
| Looking for input on record clamps. sota, makes one of the best | |
| AMR new product - PH-77 phono stage Something wrong here. Analogue in digital form? The unit is all 'chips'. Silly. Paying $10,000 for a digital pre to play LP's is not a good value. A $300 software program together with a high end sound card running on your computer can do the same... |
