| Time To Impose Minimum Standards for LP's Please help me here. The Audiogon rating scale appears to have nothing to do with LPs at all, how can you make the statement that you would not play a record rated 7 out of 10 on this scale:http://www.audiogon.com/scale.html | |
| production or reproduction I think that the whole discussion is couched in the wrong terms. "Coloration" is a euphimism for distortion. As our own Bobby Riggs points out, all systems have it. All are, in fact, distorted. The meter readers would simply say that the system wi... | |

| A good preamp for around $1000 for parasound JC1s Buy the earlier series of John Curl designed preamps that Parasound produced. The 2000 is just great and you will have money left over for strong drink and saunas. And yes, it does have a great remote that controls everything, even polarity, if I ... | |
