    Can I get close to Koetsu Blue Lace with a less expensive Koetsu?

    I had the Urushi Wajima prior to my Blue Lace. The Wajima was a big step up from my Black, especially in the bass frequencies. I really liked the Wajima. Unfortunately the Blue lace is much better for me, especially when listening to orchestral pieces where the definition and separation of...

    The new audiophile vinyl series The Original Source from Deutsche Grammophon (AAA)

    Maybe I should cancel the Esoteric copy and just keep the Speakers Corner version. Also, FYI, DG just refunded me 15 euros because of the crushed box. Albums played fine so decided to keep them.

    The new audiophile vinyl series The Original Source from Deutsche Grammophon (AAA)

    It’s hard to understand how a company as large as DG can’t figure out how to securely ship boxes overseas. Glad to hear your albums were good.

    The new audiophile vinyl series The Original Source from Deutsche Grammophon (AAA)

    Well isn’t this special. After waiting almost a month from the time the albums left Germany, I received them today in a crushed box.

    Grand Prix Audio Monaco 3.0 turntable

    I’ve had a day to listen to the new rig and I can sum it up by just saying it’s spectacular, almost like listening to live music. The bass is solid and palpable, imaging and sound stage are like nothing I’ve heard before. It’s just bigger in all dimensions compared to the AMGViella. Cymbal...
