| TEAC NT-505 - How good is it? I picked up the NT-505-X, matched with the AP-505, the 3 point floating feet are fine. It's pretty detailed. I wasn't sure about the AP-505, it's a class D amplifier, powering some compact Ophidian Minimo 2's, I had a Bryston BDA-3, so the ESS Sab... | |

| Best Tube Amp for B&W Bookshelf Cary SLI-80, integrated, and I used it to power my B&W 805SThen I got cats and we have a new baby, so without a cage, the Cary is tempting for a cat to jump on it, or small fingers curiously reach around the tubes. Back to Solid State I amTh... | |

It reinforces what I suspected, that digitally, with a glass cable - it's not a shortcut. I had nagging suspi... | |

| Linn LP-12 compared to TW Acustic, SME, Nottingham Consider an Acoustic Solid Machine Small, off board motor, heavy dense platter - and you can mount a Moerch arm on it as well. The Euro has slipped some, so the price is nice. I am enjoying mine, and yes definitely as fast versatile arm - I have t... | |
| Acoustic Solid Transparent? Accoustic Solid tends to come OEM with an entry Rega250. You are going to want to upgrade, and in my opinion, the arm and the cart will make all the difference. Here is my AS with a Moerch UP-4 and a Denon 103 | |
