Hi again Dan, Thanks for your support ! Greg is right about oranges and apples... Don't be too rough with him anyway. He is not what we could call a "Linn guy". These guys sware that the only amps, CD players and speakers who can make music are from Linn and everything else is bull S.... It's the same for "Naim guys". Greg does not have any Linn speakers, and still have Mc, Ears and other electronics ! Cheers, Jérôme

I think we all know once you get above a certain level of audio components it is not always a matter of better rather a matter of ones preference.

True but the "better" part comes in when a component strikes all the right notes for the preference of the listener. Of course "better" is an illusive term since preferences do vary from person to person.

Jerome,
Regarding your isolation issues with the TT -- if I was you & before I spent the Euros -- suggest you contact Martin at Clearaudio (in Erlangen, Ge) and ask them for a recommendation. I had a Ginko & it did it's job, per se; however, it injected other issues, namely more resonance in my playback. I got rid of it. It may work on some setups, but didn't on mine (maybe I needed to add more "balls" ((Hahaha)) to the unit -- had 6). Even though I do not have a badged "clearaudio" table, I've always liked what I heard. By the way, a nice write up and definitely a beautiful setup. Bob

Anyway, LP playback is for my personal pleasure: I won't make parties with it, with people dancing around so the fact that when I walk nearby the TT, the cart jumps is actually no big deal. Of course, if it could be resolved easily, it would be nice...

Jérôme.......I wasn't trying to be tough on Greg. We are friends. I just wanted to make my point.
Years ago I went through the Xerox Professional Sales Training Program. An important lesson taught as part of the program, you never discredit another product in an attempt to bolster yours. Your product, whether it be a copy machine or a turntable, must stand on its own merits. We were taught that disparaging a competitor's product reduces your own credibility. I have never forgotten that lesson. It is sage advice, and can be applied in so many other areas of life. I am guilty of doing the same thing sometimes while excitedly trying to make a point. No one is perfect, but I try to remain aware of the consequences of my actions. My basic philosophy is, if my action does not create a positive reaction, then I might want to reconsider my action. I try to keep it simple, and maintain a low stress level. Humor is a great tool, as well. Laughter is universal, and really is the best medicine.
