Romy,I have problems in believing that a noisy clock (the lower-priced CEC drives probably have in contrast to the other drives you mentioned) can do more than covering the faults of the actual implementation (mostly regular time deviations at other ...

This is always good advice, to get to know the character of the phono stage. Because my favorite cartridges are not low voltage (I use Decca London Jubilee and Reference) I have never had a need for the ET SU-1 step up unit. In fact, I had this in my...

Wilson’s
advance reviewers/sellers have said Wilson has gone back to paper (all ScanSpeak)
