| Best turntable under $4000 @brskie : the Atma-Sphere 208 is a modded Empire 208. I have a stock one and even in original form is still a top-notch performer! Empire made excellent belt-drive TT’s - now sadly forgotten! | |

| Pink Floyd The Wall Remasters The best LP of The Wall is the UK EMI pressing. I have it! Next and close is the US Columbia original. | |

| Marantz,..then vs. now. All the classic 50's Marantz gear was designed by engineer Sid Smith. Saul just provided the financing and sold the business in the mid-60's when solid state was taking over. | |
| What resistors has Kondo used? 5% carbon composite taken from old Dynaco amps. | |
| You know when you are dealing with a BS company.... Morrow Audio should get the same ad writer as Synergistic Research! Talk about hyperbole! | |
