In my last article, a couple of weeks ago, I asked for advice on
japanes high-end equipment.   I got few answers, and I now know
why.

     I spent lots of time at stereo stores, asking the questions,
and I kept getting referred to American electronics, and European
turntables.  the Japanese do however make wonderful tonearms and
cartridges.

     At any rate, I have some tentative decisions, and I was wondering
if anyone had any comments.

     I already have:
	  Speakers:  Vandersteen 2C
	  Tapedeck:  nakamichi BX-2
     I am seriously considering
	  Power Amp:  Denon POA-1500
	  CD:         NAD
		      Denon
		      Nakamichi
	  Tonearm:    Sumiko Premiere MMT
	  Cartridge:  Shinon
		      Signet
     I will probably buy a turntable and pre-amp upon receipt of
     the japanese stuff.  Leaders in this category are 
	  Turntable:  Harmon-Kardon
		      Thorens
	  Pre-Amp     P-S Audio
		      Apt
If anyone has had experience with any of this stuff, or can suggest
anything Japanese that might be a better value, I would surely
apppreciate hearing for you.

As an aside, I would like to thank Gary at Stereo Unlimited in
San Diego, for being the only stereo retailer not to tell me where
to go, when I told him my story honestly.  I recommend the
store immensely, and suggest that if you are looking for high-end
that you go to Stereo Unlimited.

I am
