| Ready to RUMBLE My problem turned out to be a LP related problem. Only had this problem with one particular LP - BethHart/Joe Bonamassa 'Don't Explain'. I enjoy this LP bu tthe woofer travel is unbearable. | |

| Rega P9 + Expressimo HW Anyone? BUMP | |
| Planning to buy SF Ellipsa...any input? McIntosh C2300 tube pre & MC452 amp (if you don't have room for monoblocks). Mc and Sf were menat for each other. | |
