| Any experience with VPI Super Prime scout with 10.5 inch tone arm I have a VPI that uses the Memorial 10.5 unipivot tonearm. Like many, I prefer the unipivot design, but I want to share two essential 'tweeks'. A. When installed, the tonearm rests in a 'cup', and VPI recommends the adding a viscous oil to th... | |
| Merry Christmas One and All To All - Happy Holidays. I wish you good health the closeness of family and friends. During Christmas, I tend to play the 'classics' this time of year: Bing, Nat, Julie, yet one of my favorite Christmas songs is by a lesser-known artist - Nana... | |
| Bogus Ratings for MOFI SACD's As most folks, I take reviews with a grain-of-salt. I look for relevant, real-world details. I also realize that the 'bad stuff' is filtered out. ...THAT is why forum like this one are so valuable and relevant! | |
| And a Ho! Ho! Ho! To All! Happy Holidays to one and all! Now, relax and enjoy some music ;-) | |
| My All Time Christmas Song If anyone is still following... Old Toy Trains written by Roger Miller and covered by Nana Mouskouri (she has released over 200 albums in at least thirteen languages) is simply wonderful. | |
| Why Do ~You~ Still Play CDs? The better my system gets, the better Redbook CDs sound... Having watch the development of the digital-sound market for 15+ years, I prefer the relative simplicity and SQ of CDs and LPs. Compared to streaming, CDs tend to have equal or better... | |

During the journey, I have found a few very good performers, but mostly duds. List... | |
| two channel speaker/equipment consultant "You don't need a consultant just your own ears" Personally, I think that you need both. It will take time for your aural memory to lock-in good, excellent, and just-right! Listen to LOTS of various systems. Visit shop, shows and friends. ... | |
| Doozy of an amp question Without demos, buying is risky and resale value is always consideration. That said, few folks buy HiFi gear looking forward a 'flip'. Mac has a following, but it seems that Mac is a 'love it or not' brand, with little middle ground. I would def... | |
| My All Time Christmas Song Beyond the classics from Bing, Julie, Nat, etc., I pick "So this is Christmas". I love both the recording by John Lennon and the recording by Sarah McLachlan... | |
| Chet Baker vs. Miles Davis Good to read so many reasons... If I had never listened to jazz and you played me 3 LPs from each, I would have to pick Chet over Miles, by a large margin. Chet's phrasing and selections are so much more approachable than Miles', at least to me. | |
| A special loudspeaker - Revival Audio Atalante 5 I may be in the market, so I looked-up these... Probably won't make the short-list because the add was in Chinese. | |
