In my last article, a couple of weeks ago, I asked for advice on japanes high-end equipment. I got few answers, and I now know why. I spent lots of time at stereo stores, asking the questions, and I kept getting referred to American electronics, and European turntables. the Japanese do however make wonderful tonearms and cartridges. At any rate, I have some tentative decisions, and I was wondering if anyone had any comments. I already have: Speakers: Vandersteen 2C Tapedeck: nakamichi BX-2 I am seriously considering Power Amp: Denon POA-1500 CD: NAD Denon Nakamichi Tonearm: Sumiko Premiere MMT Cartridge: Shinon Signet I will probably buy a turntable and pre-amp upon receipt of the japanese stuff. Leaders in this category are Turntable: Harmon-Kardon Thorens Pre-Amp P-S Audio Apt If anyone has had experience with any of this stuff, or can suggest anything Japanese that might be a better value, I would surely apppreciate hearing for you. As an aside, I would like to thank Gary at Stereo Unlimited in San Diego, for being the only stereo retailer not to tell me where to go, when I told him my story honestly. I recommend the store immensely, and suggest that if you are looking for high-end that you go to Stereo Unlimited. I am GINO
