thanks, nice sitePhil

Years ago (15-20) I used LAST on my records and still play them with no ill effect. I was just looking at one of my LAST stickers last night (the little dot on the record lable after you apply LAST) and wondering if there would be an improvement i... 
Good, Neutral, Reasonably Priced Cables?
I too usually recommend Audience AU24 ICs but for your price you may want to try the less expensive Conductor series of Audience. They are supposed to offer similar tone but not at quite the refined level the AU24 has. BTW in my system the AU24 is... 
Expressismo Heavyweight for Rega 300B FYI
Listener57I feel in addition to my original comments I would add that there seems to be a 'shift' in tone. Where it was very warm before and rather heavy in the bass it now is quite neutral and any emphasis moved up (IMO) to the upper bass/lower m... 
Music you would like to turn someone on to.
Weather Report/Zawinal I cannot stop listening. So complex and simple at the same time! Really beautiful music.BTW Marakanetz, I am a big Can fan, especially Tago Mago!Would anyone with a big list care to list their favorite 2 or 3? I can not affo... 
connection of the better sounding IC ,please
you will get varying responses on this question. most will say use the better one from source to pre but I had a different experience and clearly preferred the better IC between pre and power.try for yourselftrust the force luke... 
Just a thought
Eva had an amazing voice. I think most will agree Blues Alley is her swansong but I also like Imagine. Songbird is great too but is a greatest hits collection and you would duplicate a few songs you already have, probably still worth buying. 
standard counterweight vs drop counterweight
What is the best counterweight for the Rega 300B?I have a Grado Sonata and would like to tighten the bass and keep the beautiful midrange. I presume all counterweight upgrades do this but which does it best? Has anyone tested more than one?thanksPhil 
good DVD/CDP combo ?
GeoffgarciaIn answer to your post on my thread I know you want the signature version as it is supposed to be much better than non sig. I know gen 4 will play CDR CD and mine (gen 3) will not. That is the extent of my limited knowledge, I was lucky... 
good DVD/CDP combo ?
I recently bought a Muse model nine signature generaton three (WHEW) DVD/CD player and it easily bettered my Sony DVP9000ES in both picture and (especially) sound quality which is apsolutely terrific on both CD and DVD. I compared mine to a Electr...

Amp for Quad ESL 57?
You may want to try Quad 99 pre and 909 power amps. 
Advice.. Integrated vs Seperates - Low Budget..
I strongly recommend Audio Note Oto (SET) integrated amplifier - while rated at only 9 watts this little amp will power a normal effeciency speaker to decent levels. 
What is DTS and how different from SACD 5.1/DVD-A
one article I read said: DTS regards the compression for the rear/surround channel information, it is higher quality than other compression schemes available. 
Advice.. Integrated vs Seperates - Low Budget..
IMO the savings on the IC, which may be as much as $150, would be enough for me to get an integrated, so I did in my system. I believe in high quality wire even for systems like yours which are not high dollar but can benefit from a wire upgrade. ...
