Has anyone compared Transrotor Zet 1 to Zet 3?
I myself own a Zet 3 ..Reed 2G tonearm & a Jelco. Although I have not heard a direct comparison to the Zet 1 from what I have read is that the Zet3 with the heavier platter gives a more weighty sound presentation which is more prevalent in the... 
Qobuz made available in Canada today
In fact yes.I am from Canada and I do enjoy having the option of Hi res files other than the inflated high cost of Tidal. I actually believe the Qobuz doses sound a bit more...should I say provides a soundstage more 3d like and open. One thing I d... 
Pairing Bryston 28b3 with tubes
You could also try the BAT product line. I had a lesser Bryston amp quite a few years back ..4BSST2 paired with an older BAT VK30 preamp which housed 6 - 6922/6DJ8 tubes. I used many NOS and even newer stock tubes and really enjoyed swapping the t... 
VPI Classic 3 anyone try a Denon 103R
Bobc, again grats on your new rig. I am to thinking about going for a VPI TT. Most likely the the 2 but knowing that you have the 3 I would like to hear as to what you do finally choose as a cartridge. Keep us updated!!! 
VPI Classic 3 anyone try a Denon 103R
The Denon Dl-103 family of cartridges while being known as solid performers for the money($400 range?), certainly can be bettered by many cartridges. Even some MM carts in my opinion will outperform the Denon-103R. Of course you will have to expan... 
New cartridge - Benz Micro or Ortofon Cadenza?
Well the Benz H2 was your problem. you will get a much better result with the L2 by a long shot. I do not have any experience with the cadenza bronze but judging by its price range, i would say you would be buying a very nice piece. 
Andy Kim - Needle Clinic
Well I just got a quote from Andy to retip a Vitruoso for half the price of Soundsmith back east. Is what he is offering comparable to the Soundsmith? The quote that soundsmith gave me which I believe is just a standard charge which was for a Ruby... 
Bi-wire: is it worth it?
I purchased a set of Nordost Heimdall 2 speakers cables with jumpers a couple months back but have not had a chance to use them as of yet. I still have my older MIT terminator 4 and was wondering if i should even bother trying to bi-wire again wit... 
Good speakers to be placed close to rear wall
Audio phsycic Classic series range from about $3,500 to maybe around 7K. Very nice controlled speakers. I heard the Classic 20 and 30. The 30 I liked much more being the more expensive set but to be honest the room was set up more for them. Can be...

A brutal review of the Wilson Maxx
Just picked up on this thread 9 yrs late.lol Does anyone have the original article? The link on the initial thread has expired. 
Revel Speakers
I have never heard the Revels before. There is a Revel dealer in town but unfortunately they only have their book shelf line on the floor. How would you describe the sound qualities of them? To be more specific the F208's or the 206's. You can mak... 
Has price of used 802N's shot up?
I don't think the pricesof used 802N's have anything to do with the US/federal reserve/Asian Markets at all. As Mgattmch has mentioned, the 802D's are grossly overpriced and to many, not an upgrade at all including myself. Of course subject to per... 
Best Cartridge for my system, MC or MM ??
Well I figure perhaps Wc65mustang could be right with staying with MM for that price range. I diagreed at first but after reading other threads that pitted MM vs Mc, there are definately some very good choices for MM. Other than the usual suspects...
