Linn Uphorik Phono - On or Off?
Excellent, just the info I was looking for. And I agree, I was not initially impressed with the sound, but it seems to have opened up a bit over the past few days (it has been powered on). Thanks! 
Luxman L-509X
I noticed that this thread has been dormant now for 5 months but thought I would see if anyone has had a chance to compare this Luxman L-509X to a Simaudio 600i or 700i. Thanks 
Phono stage rec for Rega P25 with ZYX R100-02H
I have been using a PS Audio GCPH with my Rega 25 + Denon 301MKII combo ... sounds great! 
Line Magnetic Audio 219IA – Any Owners?
Nothing. But I did end up buying the 218ia which I'm very happy with. Both sound and build quality are very impressive. 
Making of the Doors 45RPM Vinyl re-issues
I have bought a half dozen of the recent "Quality" pressings, with mixed results. My friend and I both receved label misprints on our "Ella and Louis Again" 45rpm pressings (wrong artist on one, and duplicate titles on another!). Plus I thought th... 
Modwright KWI-200 Integrated, Any experiences?
Routeman21 – I had been reluctant to post my experience with the KWI-200, thinking that perhaps I was the only one having issues with the amp. Firstly, Dan has been very supportive during my on-going saga with the amp.My first KWI-200 I brought ho... 
Diana Krall Survey
"Her piano playing is her week(?) point." ... good grief, where do these comments come from? 
Why aren't current country albums on vinyl
Check out the Sugar Hill Records website ... sort of a mix of country/folk titles with both old and new artist. 
Devore Nines and Daedalus Athena comparison?
I find it strange that I received zero replies regarding this same question on the Daedalus (Audiocircle) site. I do realize that some of the replies here on Audiogon are from Daedalus owners, and very much appreciated. Lou thought that posting on... 
Devore Nines and Daedalus Athena comparison?
Dodgealum, you bring up some very interesting points. Unfortunately for some of us, a speaker demo is not possible. There are a limited number of Devore dealers here in Canada, and Daedalus is only available for demo in the U.S., so these forums a... 
Devore Nines and Daedalus Athena comparison?
Drubin, if you heard them with one of the Modwright amps, it is possible that the amp would play a part in creating that somewhat "soft" sound you are hearing. I think Daedalus and Modwright team up for these Audio shows. Interesting comment regar... 
Devore Nines and Daedalus Athena comparison?
Jmbatkh, I would expect the Athena to be a big step up from the Super 8. The Nine was a big improvement for me over the Super 8, in both midrange and bass ... a similar result as you and your friends had with the Athena and Super 8 comparison. 
Modwright KWI-200 Integrated, Any experiences?
Routeman21, any updates on your opinion regarding the KWI-200 sound? 
Modwright KWI-200 Integrated, Any experiences?
Digsmithd ... how did you get 300+ hours on your unit in 18 days ... do you leave it on 24/7? Does this amp have a "stand-by" switch on it, or just a power on and off? Thanks 
Modwright KWI-200 Integrated, Any experiences?
Your comments are my concerns Kiwi, that the amp is a bit too warm and rolled off. I do not doubt it's build quality, but will it have the dynamics of the INT-150 and the same treble extension.I look forward to more user comments ... thanks.
