AXPONA Schaumburg - Which Analog products are you hoping to hear at the show?
Please consider yourself invited to visit room 550!   I'll have a TW Acustic Raven GT2 turntable, TW Acustic Raven 10.5 tonearm, Stein Music Aventurin 6 cartridge, and a Konus Audio Vinyle 3000MC phono preamplifier in the system.
