| Help re: inner groove sibilance on Nott. Spacedeck I had inner groove distortion with my Denon 103R on my Well Tempered. Even with checked and rechecked alignment, the distortion remained. It turned out the mounting just had too much play in it - apparently a common problem with the mounting schem... | |

| Dead Can Dance's Into the Labyrinth I got to see DCD at Radio City Music Hall on 10/8. Fabulous show in a great venue, and one of only two shows on the tour done with an orchestra. Very different show than the 1998 tour - much more solo Lisa stuff. She can sing the most incredibly d... | |
| Epos LS3 or Wharfedale Diamond 9.1? I haven't heard the Wharfedales, but I compared the ELS3s, Axiom M3tis, and Ascend CBM-170s, and I bought the ELS3s. The Axioms were much brighter than the Epos, and the Ascends were a little too laid back for me.The kicker is I'm using a tube pre... | |
| NYC area thrift shop vinyl Just got back from the WFMU Record Fair, and now I know where all the thrift shop vinyl goes! There are so many record dealers in the NYC area that it all gets snapped up before any end user ever sees them.Luckily, there was tons of $1 (even some ... | |
| NYC area thrift shop vinyl Am_dial,Those are all great suggestions. Gives us plenty of places to seek as we explore this beautiful area where we live now. I'd heard about Rhino (any connection to the record label?) in New Paltz but hadn't made it up there. Too bad they've a... | |

| Phono cable, are they really different? Is the VPI pretty much the least expensive RCA-RCA phono cable out there? I've just picked a used Well Tempered Record Player, so I'm in the market for a cable. I'll be using it with a Denon 103R and, while I want something of good quality, even t... | |
| NYC area thrift shop vinyl So there have been lots of great suggestions here on where to find vinyl, but most of them are used record stores with prices higher than I'd prefer to pay if I can avoid it. Garage and estate sales can be goldmines, but finding the ones with viny... | |

| Wife Acceptance Factor A quick read-through of this thread reveals only one or two men who have reasonable and happy relationships with their wives, at least in the areas surrounding their audiophilia. All the rest (25? 30?) are mostly in the "Be a man!" or "I just don'... | |
| Think I'm going to try tubes... At <$1,000 I can also recommend the Wright Sound WLA12A. I previously owned a modded Dynaco PAS and a stock Bottlehead Foreplay I (both 12AX7) and they were just too warm in my system. The Wright leans way more toward the neutral side and the t... | |
