| Magnepan 1.7 versus Proac Response D2 speakers Let the room decide, meaning the ProAc are more room friendly then the Maggies. If your room can accomodate the set up that they require, I would go with them. See Jim Smith's book. Jim is a Maggie set up expert. | |
| TT Suggestions Spend less and get great sound and value. Find a used Denon 47F that can be picked up locally. Equip it with a new Denon 160 cartridge. This TT is the equal of anything that is in the $2-3K class. Is it the equal of new VPI? No, but comes close an... | |
| VPI 300 RPM vs 600 RPM Better? No, it is just another way for Harry to make money, bless his heart. Harry is a master at the game of 'new', when nothing has really changed in ten years. | |
| Advice re: Entry level CD Player sony 595 changer which plays SACD too. Often available from SonyStyle as a refurb for $60 with free shipping. | |
| Opting for no CDP -- only to regret it? Recently I added a sony cdp cx355 changer which stacks 300 cd's. Works and sounds great in my office system. Since these can be 'chanined' I'll look for another so I can move up to 600 cds. I do have stuff ripped to mp3 for my portable player, but... | |
| Any Discwasher D4 users out there? Life moves on with better and more practical ways to clean records. So, give it up and join 21st century technology. | |

| I've strayed.... Not far enough. Please check out the cayin/vas product line, great sound, great value. | |
| A Manufacturer that pays return shipping Lean on the dealer that sold you the speakers. | |
| How many LP's do you own? How long did it take? Acquired my first lp in 1952, last count indicated 12,000 are present. Of course they are kept company by the 3000 cassettes, 4000 R2R, 1000 eight tracks and 6000 cd's. Will the madness ever stop? | |
| Listening Chair? Stressless is the way to go. For years I had an Emaes/Knoll chair, in original rosewood. I sold it off for $7K and purchased a Stressless which is way more comfortable. | |
| How many albums do you need ? One more then you have. |
