Left over from when I began my hi end audio addiction. Some things went and some stayed: Snells, Counterpoint and Cal Sigma II. The Quicksilvers were bought to mate with my Vandersteens but I found them to be to much of the same flavor and on a whim put them in with the Snells and 'Voila" magic!!! Way out classed the Snells in price and refinement but what a great combo. Much more to my liking than with the Vandersteens but I may put them back and see if my tastes have changed or evolved. I love Technics Turntables and this Limited Gold Table is a beauty. They are accurate, reliable and built to last. I have a Basis elsewhere but these 1200's are so right on in pitch with PRAT to die for. Everyone loves to listen to this system, which is not super detailed, or pants flapping dynamic but it's just so enjoyable to listen to. All Tube Baby!!!
