The SummitDan I was thinking the same thing about this recording. There is to be so much air and space in the recording it gives the allusion of stereo. Great Systems sound alike!Jet posted over 11 years ago | View comment | |

Audio Note, WE-91A, Rega, AyonThanks Brett. That little 6C6 tube that is driving the EML300b was probably made during WWII. Pretty amazing fidelity for a 70 year old audio amplification device :) posted over 11 years ago | View comment | |
