    Best Amp - Speaker Combination you've ever Heard.

    Beware of www.soundmarkt.com - another scam

    ^^What's the big deal. Just get in your G500 and fly to the high end shop of your choice. Geez, simple. :p

    Gryphon Colosseum stopped working

    Glad to hear the Colosseum is back home, up and running and putting a smile on your face. Can't offer much advice on the Niagra. Both the AQ and Torus units get great reviews. After what you've been through and the time it's taken, I would personally be leaning toward the units that offer...

    Gryphon Colosseum stopped working

    Glad to hear the damage is repairable. I assume that Peter had to order a new PS from Gryphon.

    Gryphon Colosseum stopped working

    I have one of his very excellent moving iron phono cartridges. I had no idea he also did repair work for Gryphon. I've watched a lot of his youtube videos. He is very dedicated to his craft. Your amp is in good hands.

    Comparing Reissued LPs to Analogue Productions Tapes

    This thread has been an interesting read. My 2 track deck is a Tascam BR-20 in stock form. I've been looking at the Analog Productions tapes, but keep coming back to the conclusion that I wouldn't be getting the most out of them without some mods to the deck, or at the least, buying an...

    SoundSmith Paua or Sussurro?

    Haven't compared the two, but I did recently purchase the Paua Mk II. I figured I should get it while it was 1/2 price. The Sussurro is being discounted right now to an even greater degree as Soundsmith releases the updated models. I think Peter Ledermanm has a pretty good grasp on price...
