Say hello to the McIntosh MA252: “Hello, stranger.” In the world of high-end audio, there are solid-state tribes and there are tube tribes. Usually, the two pretty much stick to their own camps, except for scattered […]

Review: Transrotor Fat Bob Reference, SME TR 5009 and Koetsu Onyx Platinum.

September 26, 2015 Rafe Arnott 3

Transrotor, SME and Koetsu. I think it’s safe to say these are three of the top names in their respective fields of manufacture: turntables, tonearms and moving-coil cartridges. Just looking at the Fat Bob’s lines you […]
