| who makes a good toslink cable? What's your price range?I tried a few toslink and coax cables a few months ago. I did not find a big difference between the a $25 glass toslink sold on eBay and a few sub-$250 cables in my system. It sounded exactly the same as the $75 WireWorld S... | |
| The Debate's Not Over "I don't think the surf music changed the world whereas the Beatles music did."Aaaah, but Surf Music changed the Beatles - "Pet Sounds" drove the creation of "Sgt Pepper's". | |

| Weak point in this analog system ? Bravo Johnnantais!!My Denon DL-103D gives up almost nothing to more expensive a famous cartridges when it comes to terms of sheer musical enjoyment over a wide range of material. It surely gets far more playing time than any of my others (also for... | |
| Weak point in this analog system ? Gregm, can I get your opinion of how the Tacco stacks up against other arms like the Morch & Clearaudio? Also, what were your overall impressions of I'm very happy with the Premier/Tacco combination, I just have never tried anything else on th... | |
