Thanks for this - I'm new to this lark ... Apart from Mobile Fidelity and their Tim de Paravicini 'Ultra Analog' system which I've been reading about today, would you be able to tell me exactly which Audiophile labels will offer me pure AAA? Do you mean these labels exclusively work AAA or offer just some of their recordings in this way? Mofi master in AAA from the original mastertapes ( if they still exist ) too many titles & labels to mention as i keep over a 1000 in stock www.mofi.com/Articles.asp?ID=254

Are there such things as true analogue remasters nowadays? For example, the 'Made in Japan' 2014 says - 'audio is remastered from the original 1972 analogue stereo master and cut at Abbey Road Studios'. That all sounds well and good but is in the end somewhat ambiguous - I wonder if the cut is done from a digital or an analogue master? I can imagine a lot of remastering is done from analogue tapes which are then taken into the digital domain and worked on from there to create a new digital master … Record companies have learnt that most people into vinyl don't want to see 'digitally remastered' on their expensive 180g vinyl but that's probably what's going on. AAA No by the major labels , AAA Yes almost 100% by the Audiophile labels

Not a new idea Symposium invented this almost 20 years now for speakers & components This is interesting, but you have not supplied any information to help with this. I can understand how wobbly mounts might work under source components and amplifiers etc, but can't recognise how it would be good for speakers. Surely the speaker caninet/panel needs to be rigid to allow the inertia of the speaker cones to operate correctly? If you consider 'wobble' is OK, please can you link me to some information or study paper that will illuminate me? Is this the same principle that Origin Live are now using with their barrel speakers hung from swinging strings, or even Townsend selling bouncy supports for speakers? www.symposiumusa.com/tech5.htmlwww.symposiumusa.com/tech3.htmlwww.symposiumusa.com/tech2.htmlThanks, Greg

Only really four pressing plants in the world at least the ones used by the Audiophile labels US QRP quality record pressings & RTI record technology , EU pallas & RT ( part of Mov ) & Optimal in germany are also very good

1st one Sota Millenia actually looks much better in the flesh Piano Black finish. Most people think its a Sme with a outboard Psu & Vacuum Pump fills a double width rack over 3 feet wide 2nd one Funk Firm Saffire III with a FXR II arm most people can,t decide what looks better the Funk or my Oracle

Isolation & Vibration needs to me drained out of the speakers My speakers float on ball bearings & wobble So, if they wobble, they probably move in accordance with the cone excursion of the drive units when music is played. Surely that is not conducive to good sound reproduction? Not a new idea Symposium invented this almost 20 years now for speakers & components

Arthurs F6 is a cracking arm total giant killer & about 1/5th of the cost. Viv arms i,ve seen are all mounted externally on big turntables with a isolation platform

Have some large Monos myself 250wpc PP with 16x300b , big buggers 700w heat at Idle so keep them on the floor as they weigh 100kilos & would break most shelfs/racks Hifi racks isolation plinths good if you like wood , but they no live on a pair of symposium platforms with rollerblocks for vibration/isolation
