Monitor Shootout
FYII was a B&W 805 believer.I still have nothing bad to say about them.I found, however, that teh JM Reynaud Trente, for me, made beautuful music. I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone who will listen to me.

Wall mount rack options for all components

Best cartridge match for a Michell Techoarm?
good luck with the responses.I was sniffing around this arm over a year ago, with little to no information out there to help me I have one, and I love it. Sorry to say that I've only used it with an Aurum Beta S Wood Body Cart from Clearaudio, whi...

Amp suggestions for audiophile virgin
tubes. 
Newbi seeking advise - why tubed pre-amp?
However, even rock music sounds great with a tube system with a little bit of cojones.I started in the same place about 8 years ago. I had a Parasound amp running off of a Sony ES receiver. I got that Sony out and put a Conrad Johnson PV-10AL in t...
