| What stereo equipment do respected musicians listen to? I don't want to prolong this in an unnecessary tit for tat but I do feel compelled to respond on three points. 1. I said that I have listened to a "good few recordings i.e. many - not a "few recordings". Perhaps I was being too understated in my ... | |

| What stereo equipment do respected musicians listen to? @wolf_garcia. I am simply reflecting my own experience of my interactions with other musicians over a period of over forty years. Yes I did read your post - is your comment about musicians and money not a generalisation in itself? As it happens ... | |
| What stereo equipment do respected musicians listen to? Yinylvalet - nice to meet you too. I play guitar, bass and drums left handed so needless to say Sir Paul is right up there on my list of all time greats - as a musician and songwriter! | |

| any thoughts? The only circumstances I would consider this is if you have cast iron proof that the laser was replaced very recently. But given that transport's age, lasers for it have probably been unavailable for ages. It make far more sense to buy a new tran... | |
| Please Recommend Highly Efficient Floor Standing Non-Horn Speaker Suggestions Another mention the DeVore Orangutans. Outstanding speakers that work great even on SET power outputs. | |
| Law of Accelerated Returns I have a pretty reasonable system and I have in-depth familiarity with a variety of systems that are more expensive than mine. The two biggest differences I've encountered relate to system setup and the room. On the basis of my listening, a very e... | |
