Cartridge / Tonearm opinions requested...
Well, the IO's performance is beyond question, but I know I'd be doin' a BUNCH of thinking if I had to spend six large on a phono stage! Ha! :-)There is a particular option of a tube phono stage that offers a great deal of flexibility and at least...

Yeah, I have to apologize, Laser. I did not mean to disparage your phono stage. Just got caught up in the Teres/OL/Shelter possibilities. Good Luck! :-) 
Cartridge / Tonearm opinions requested...
As Twl, and a few others on here know, I recently participated in an audition of several different tables using an OL Illustrious and Shelter 901 (and 501) combo. On a Teres table (and a Nottingham Hyperspace), the OL/Shelter combo was among the b... 
Preamp Isolation Cones Without Going NUTS
I appreciate the suggestions, some of which I have tried, others which are of interest. Speakerdude, I have the threaded Solers under my speakers and they are great. Never tried the components cones.Anyone know anything about the Silverline points... 
Super Tweak for Nottingham Space TT
Tom, your explanation is EXACTLY why folks turn to you repeatedly for advise. Call it a respectful curse! :-) 
Preamp Isolation Cones Without Going NUTS
Sorry for throwing around definitions so loosely. I do think most will have caught my drift, therefore I rather look at such semantics as bit of nit picking. Let's say vibration control?The Audiopoints are fairly reasonable in price, I will conced...

Why TWO threads? 
Strange Tonearm Tweak. Long
Tom, can you share, in a general sense, the types of arms on which this mod can and cannot be implemented?

I have done similar to what Don does, with different, higher-end software that I can access through my work. The results are very good. Then, I bought a Denon CD deck with burner that my son uses as a playback device and burner. I run it through m... 
Super Tweak for Nottingham Space TT
Ok, I know the OL Silver is a better match, in theory, with the 501, and may very well be in application.On the other hand, I have a 501 in my Spacearm/Spacedeck combination. The results are excellent, and I have done a comparison to several other... 
You got $10000, build a system.
Ed is correct, though I would imagine that the current market might at least net you upgraded speaker cables or some MUSIC to go with your equipment! ;-) 
New Steely Dan Release - LP?
I expected it would be available at some point on vinyl, but was hoping to pre-order. I was only able to find Two Against Nature on LP from a European delaer, on the Giant label. 
Killer female vocal recordings-show me the light..
Warren, I share your taste regarding Dinah Washington. The poster asked for super quality recordings and I find Dinah's somewhat spotty. The recent re-release on Mercury is pretty decent, though. 
Biggest value for the Dollar?
Not a component, but cryoed Hubbell outlets have been the biggest bang for the buck I've ever experienced. 
30 Amp Breaker Question
I recently bought this house, and I find that there is, indeed, 10 gauge wire. What I didn't intially realize is that, in addition to the outlets and interior lighting fixture, there are THREE exterior fllodlights on the same circuit. Time to cond...
