Re: Gues what I just got ? Lenco L70
Thank you. It's displaced my VPI Classic/Shelter 501 combo for a week so far, so it's got promise. Not that I'm ditching the Classic. The Zyx Yatra is a great match for the Lenco/Linn Basic+.

Re: Stillpoints E-Loops
I should give these another try. I've had a pair on loan and didn't really hear a difference. I should try them on something that has RF interference perhaps? That is an issue on my tube gear in this...

Did you ever get this table running? I finally tackled mine a few days ago. Slapped a Linn Basik Plus arm on it that I had laying around. The Lenco guys seem to like the stock arm, I thought it was...

Re: I never thought this would happen.............
My other speakers (to the SHL-5) are Quad ESL-63 pros. They're very similar in the midrange to the sHL-5. A compliment to both speakers as I consider it to be as close to flawless as I've heard. Not...

Re: I never thought this would happen.............
I look forward to it as well...it's a combo that I've considered for a long time, as I've pondered finding a tube amp that'll make my SHL-5s happy. Right now they're one a T+A a1530r, and it is a...
