Source survey

Planar Speaker Asylum

Welcome! Need support, you got it. Or share your ideas and experiences.

Here it is ....finally. There are so many options as to how someone has set up their system that it is hard to put down on print here. I've done my best. Alot of respondants didn't rate their player so I did not include this here.
It should be noted that those who had both TT's and CDP's and who commented on the quality of both, preferred thier turntable.
