Timeless, Unforgettable, Enduring
We recently posted all of our coverage of two classic turntables: The Rega">http://www.stereophile.com/turntables/184rega/">Rega P3 and the Sota">http://www.stereophile.com/turntables/284sotastar/">Sota Sapphire. And when I say "classic," I don't mean old. I mean timeless, unforgettable, enduring. Take a look at our Hot">http://www.stereophile.com/historical/709/index.html">Hot 100 list of all-time most important products, and you'll see that the British Rega ranks at number 30, while the all-American Sota stands proud at number 54. Our reviews of these turntables date back to 1984, and provide information that is still very much useful and interesting today.

"I don't know anything about TL Audio," I continued, "but I am familiar with Bluebird">http://bluebirdmusic.com/Fatman_Intro.htm">Bluebird Music. I'm a fan of their products as well as their business philosophy — one that emphasizes system synergy and value for money. At home, I'm using their Exposure integrated">http://www.stereophile.com/budgetcomponents/1105exposure/index.html">in… amp and CD player. Good stuff."
To Be You and Me

To Have & To Hold
I was directed to this video via the Stereophilehttp://twitter.com/stereophilemag">Stereophile; Twitter page, in a tweet from Bowers">http://blog.bowers-wilkins.com/sound/formats/to-have-and-to-hold-vinyl-… & Wilkins, who’d seen it first at Audiophiliahttp://www.audiophilia.com/wp/?p=4383">Audiophilia;.

Tonal Balance and Deep Bass
As I mentioned yesterday, I had, for some time — long before acquiring a hi-fi, in fact — fought the idea of placing my couch against the rear wall of my living space. When I finally did, however, I found that things both looked and sounded different. And not only different, but: better. And I'm not confusing the two. So, what's up with this?
