New dedicated line & outlets sound worse, not better- HELP!
How do we know it's not our neurons that are burning in and getting used to a new sound? 
Looking for SACD player............
Pirius,Is the Lexicon still that good? I worry about buying a player that is over 10 years old. Do you know the model # of the remote? Have yo ever compared it to a Marantz or Oppo of the same era? 
Bill Chinook / Bruce Springsteen
Love Chinnok. Badlands is one of my favorite LPs and definitely stands the test of time. I don't remember why I bought it, but I'm glad I did. Never heard much about him and I don't think I ever met anyone else who ever heard of him. I noticed tha...

Can someone help?Heard the song once about 12 years ago, maybe.Sounded like Phil Collins.Some of the words were along the lines:'Don't go by the water' or don't go somewhereand 'If they can do it to her, they can do it to you'

Hey! I loved Crazy Horse.

Bruce Springsteen's first 3 albums.As soon as I read the reference 'The Next Dylan' my mind snapped shut like a steel trap.Born to Run had been out about a year when my girlfriend practically locked me in her dorm room and forced me to listen to i... 
Songs that have stood the test of time.
Gimme Some Lovin' - Spencer Davis Group. It's been covered at least 65 times; but nothing comes close to the original. THE definitive rock song!Hallelujah has got to get a mention, I agree. Jeff Buckley's version on SACD gives me chills.I didn't s...

Some one post some thing! I miss searching. I'm depressed. 
My final table , hopefully !
I'm going to add a vote for the Oracle Origine...with qualifications.It looks like the closest thing to an Alexandria that you can buy today, and while I haven't heard the Origine, I love my Alexandria. Also the tone arm looks very intriguing. It ... 
Are Bang and Olufsen turntables any good?
I inherited a Beogram RX2 some years ago. It sat in storage for years. About 2 years ago, when I set up a second system, I got it out and tried it. It sounded horrible! I discovered that the stylus was gone. Epoxy probably degraded. As I recall it... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?

Shopping for an integrated, advice s'il vous plait.
I heard a Belles Aria yesterday. Very nice! A little above your budget at around $1,900 at the shop I was at. The owner was demoing $9,000 speakers. He switched to a Rogue Cronus Magnum, which didn't sound as dynamic to my ears. At least one of th... 
Long lost songs
Just scored another one: Greg Brown - 'Cept You & Me Babe.Heard it once on the car Radio in 2001 or so, and never found it because I remembered the verse as "Except Me and You, Babe."I don't think I have any more to search for. I feel a little...
