We all want to change the world. Really?
Yeah, well, Elvis, The Beatles, etc., etc., were purported to end civilization as we know it, too. Then again, maybe they did...... 
The Best kept Secret in Speaker Cables please?
First of all, anything near $5K is likely no secret. Second, the need to spend anything near $5K for cables that will sound "best" in your system is, IMHO, totally fallacious. That said, Dschultz makes a good point about "no best".As a side note, ...

Bizcut1, what really is the point, then? And how would you address the issue?If the is issue is, on one hand, "audiophile" quality LP's, please provide us a definition of "audiophile" quality that can be applied consistently and appropriately. Wou... 
"Junk" LP listings on audiogon - get rid of 'em
Ed. Noses in the air? On this site? Wadda ya mean?Let me ask this. In what way are all the "junk" LP's that some of you are whining about effecting your ability to buy the music you purportedly seek? Is it that you have to wade through what you do... 
Speaker position????
I think that Thorman's reccomendation is a very good place to start. I read a bunch of stuff before positioning mine some time ago, then followed this rule and the ultimate position was very close. Plus, many of the calculations presented seem goo... 
Review: Ridge Street Audio Midnight Silver Edition Interconnect
I have to chime in here to say that these are the most realistic and balanced cables I've heard in or out of my system. I feel strongly enough about them that I need to write my own review. I hesitate to say that they are "good cables for the mone... 
"Junk" LP listings on audiogon - get rid of 'em
Aw, I don't know. Sometimes I might agree to a certain extent. BUT, one person's crap is another's great find that they've been hunting. I've bought a couple off here that I've not found elsewhere which were sentimental favorites from many years a...

Steely Dan - New release / June 10th
Buscis2, with respect to who is with the Boys on this effort, this is from the Dan website:"Everything Must Go took roughly a year to record -- a veritable wind sprint given Becker and Fagen's legendary meticulousness in the studio. "We went for l... 
CD and/or LP collections. Is it about the music?
Buscis2, if you're listening to Katy Lied, you likely realize that this is the worst recorded of all the Dan/Fagen LP's. If any LP every CRIED OUT for remixing, it is Katy Lied. But then, the details surrounding this recording are legendary. Pity,...

One is also supposed to be able to order this through diversevinyl.com but I can never get the link to work. UPDATE: you can go to[url]www.diversevinyl.com[/url]to preorder but the site has moved recently, is unstable, and slower than the mind of ...
