GSP Audio phono stages stocks low again, stuff your Christmas stockings with one of GSP Audio's products, fits nicely in a stocking, highly stretchable one that is, if box included !  IMHO, a phono stage is the most important component in vinyl playback.  You can have the best turntable, cartridge, best system, best room, but with a mediocre phono stage, the result will still be poor.  Click Me! for product information and prices.

July 4, 2002:

From Stereophile, April 2002
Consumer Electronics Show 2002: Paul Bolin on Cost-No-Object Loudspeakers
"The Living Voice OBX-R ($7000) was a very pleasant surprise. At first flush an unassuming medium-sized floorstander, the OBX-R produced amazing bass and dynamics that would be the envy of many much larger speakers. Designer Kevin Scott claims that mounting the crossover outside the speaker in a hefty box is largely responsible for the OBX-R's slam and coherence. A costly Scanspeak Revelator tweeter provides the silky top end. This is a speaker well worth going out of one's way to hear."
