Becker and Fagen on Recording EMG in Analog
Jdombrow, I strongly disagree with your assessment unless:1) You've heard it only on CD, or2) You've only listened to it once or twiceI would tend to agree with respect to "Blues Beach" which was the initial single released in MP3 on the 'Net. IMH...

The joke being that they used ProTools in the process. ;-) 
Your Favorite, Most Outstanding Guitar Solo
Twl sez: "Skunk Baxter, Steely Dan, Countdown to Ecstacy"My Old School""Tom, if you liked that solo (and who wouldn't?), you should have heard the current lead man the Dan had with them in concert this year, John Herrington, who is also featured o...

Which fluid should I use

Do I need a machine to clean ?
You CAN, and I have, cleaned with out a vacuum machine. I've come to the conclusion, though, that they are essential for doing the BEST job. My investment in a VPI 16.5 is probably the best money I've ever spent in audio.You are right on target wi... 
Amps for Vandersteen 5A

Verdict on Pure Note, Ridge Street w solid state ?
Tried one MSE interconnect. Loved it. Bought more for whole system. Loved them. Auditioned MSE speaker cables. Loved them. Bought them. Sitting in a cult-induced trance. More music. More music. Meepzorp. Take my kids. Take my wife, (please). Trans... 
Satori Shotgun or Hologram
If you are keeping the speakers, I too would suggest not using the shotguns. Instead of using a jumper of any kind, remove the back plate and directly connect all four leads (2+ and 2-)to the appropriate "bottom" terminals, leaving the top termina... 
Nottngham space with Koetsu
I am guessing that Brian will recommend a Shelter over the Koetsu for a Spacearm. 
Schroeder Model 2
Hmmm, after looking at the pictures, I see that it was indeed the Model 1 to which I had a listen at a local audio shop. Anyone here the 2 in comparison to the 1?
