| HEGEL - Is it really made in Norway ? Totally agree with s1mn3r:And to the person who says that the buyer must do his own research, I agree also - but to a certain limit.Not everyone is as hard-core about their audio, and the simple labeling of "Norway" or "Austria" may be just enough... | |

| HEGEL - Is it really made in Norway ? Gentlemen, if you audition a amp and you like the sound, build, and you like the price, and country of origin is not important, it's ok.But if part of your creteria include other factors that are more intangibles, that's ok too.Bryston, Classe and... | |
| HEGEL - Is it really made in Norway ? My initial point was not to suggest China-built or assembled gear is not good stuff, I owned many units in the past from Cayin, Shanling, and currentle am enjoying my Oppo 105 very much.It is about 2 things mainly:A) That there are are always folk... | |

| Power supply for Cambridge Audio Azur 651P phono ? I contacted Audio Advisor and was told they could not get more of them from the manufacturer...I doubt this is the truth. | |
| Marantz TT-15 turntable: Speed control compatible? Thank you for your suggestion. After a bit of research, there seems to be incompatibility issues concerning the diameter of the pulley (whether a table's belt must be left on the smaller or larger diameter 33 or 45 rpm) which may stress the speed ... | |
| Quick poll: Rega RP6 or Marantz TT-15 ? Marantz TT-15 in my system. Thank you for your input. A very nice table, arm and cartridge. I couldn't ask for more at the price. Lovely looks and sound, and surprisingly quiet too. A great package overall, no regrets, just music! | |

| Octave vs Ayon integrateds I am a past owner of the Ayon Orion II. It is a beautifull-looking amp but ultimately not very well put together and the protective housing over the transformers are not solidly attached. I also went through 3 remotes - not a big great deal but th... | |
| Brand Longevity A large number of ''audiophiles'' are flavour-of-the-month, gotta-to-have-the-latest-toy types.The longevity of brands is a non-issue when you only keep the gear for a short time. | |
