Thanks, tonepub. Your magazine is my favorite...I read Tone Audio via Zino on my ipad. As others have commented here, I love the fact you don't write like the normal reviewers...you keep it real. You put your money where your mouth is....no pandering, just honest feedback and recommendations on gear and music...KUDOS for that. Would love to buy you a beer and pick your brain for sure.

Thanks for the warm welcom, cmalak. I tried to update my profile with system info but I think my newbie status keeps me from doing so. Right now, I'm listening to Ben Webster (stereo) for the first time (amazing sonics and music) on the following system:
- Clearaudio Innovation Wood - Graham II B44 with Benz LP-S (a killer cartridge) with Tara Labs Zero phono IC - about to receive Schick 12" arm + Miyajima Premium Mono Be, and Atma-Sphere 208 + Triplanar + Soundsmith Voice Ebony - Herron VTPH-2 phono preamp (Keith Herron and his products are hero status in my book) - VAC Renaissance Mk III preamp - VAC 300.1a amp (VAC gear took it all to a new unbelievable level) - Esoteric MG20 speakers/stands (speed of maggies, dynamics of box, monitor imaging) - Harmonic Technology Magic Link II interconnects and speaker wire - Silkworm+ IC between VACs (AMAZING interconnect...puts lipstick on the singer, and smoke in the air, and removes people at the table between me and the bass player) - Velodyne DD+15 sub dialed in real low - Audience AR12 power conditioner and powerchord "e"s for components - Symposium Ultra shelves and Quadraspire racks - Digital = PS Audio Perfect Wave DAC + Bridge, and Modwright Sony 5400es (amazing) |

Apologies -- I meant to post/attach each reply to the comments directed to me versus in random order via quick reply.

A bit dated (what's 8+ years between friends.......), but had the opportunity to listen to a Brinkman DD TT/TA combination yesterday and were I in the market for a new TT think it would be the one. $9K for the TT and $4K for the Brinkman TA. A delight to use and even better to listen to thru a Lehmann Decade preamp and Luxman solid-state preamp/tube power amp combo. Listened thru Devore 0/96 & Harbeth HL-5 (couldn't keep up with the Devore) speakers. The Kiseki Purple Heart N.S. cartridge was sublime.
