Andy, I'd feel better if we could....*L*I want the "I don't mind Lamp"....wait a minute, I already own some.  You turn them on, and they don't flicker at me.  Unless the utility is having a hiccup, that's OK.  If I don't like white, there's colore...

Sorry...off topic rant....I'm prone to that, lately....Our current 'shared reality' is a bit too surreal for even my tastes of late.

*LOL* Geoff, that's just the sort of thing that makes me vacillate between amazement and mild paranoia.  Things like that have an amazing tendency to just improve on us.  There's research going on towards in 'mind control' of digital devices that ... 
Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable?
"You can't believe everything you read."Good words to live by.  I've always tried to take everything I've read with a 'grain of salt', as we were admonished by the older wizened ones.It's since grown to the size of a salt lick, but it's a great ...

geoffkait, yup, Something IS ruining the sound in the room.......and I'd go absolutely giddy if it was shown to be Us. *LOL*"System would sound great if it weren't for you.  Please exit the room."I could see a 'puter piping up with that little req...

Dave, that certainly was a 'serious motivator' to be on the street, esp. in that chassis.  It's always been the hp/lbs. ratio that makes the difference between the 'wannabe' and a Serious Slingshot. *G*One of my fav memories of the era was witness...

dlcockrum/Dave...No offense taken, so no problem exists. *G*  As a southern CA native and a 'child of the 60's', much too laid back to take umbrage.  Besides, I suspected there was a sly snicker in there... ;)"A ridiculous motor"....Having grown u...

folkfreak, no, that's Precisely what I meant, but just got my authors' 'spun'...to place a pun on my goof....Memory fails....aging 'wetware'...along with all the other stuff.  If it don't hurt, it don't work, more or less. *sigh*Thanks for the cor... 
Securing Monitors to a stand
Weighing in...There's 'turner's tape', a seriously sticky double-faced tape available at woodworker's stores, such as Klingspor.  1" w. typically, grey, leaves no residue, typically used to stick wood to lathe plates (albeit generously in that app...

Yup, quack = cables almost immediately for some.  I've got my bias, and will not go there.  There's plenty of other 'WTF' stuff being offered that makes snake oil seem like a daily dose like a multivitamin....Cable stands...try some blocks of wood... 
Turn table for my kid???
Oh, and there's also your local Habitat for Humanity.  Our local here in Asheville gets some goodies in, but competition is fierce.  I'm not the only one 'watching', and I live 1/4 mi. away....*L* 
Turn table for my kid???
MHO, I'd look around eBay for something that'll fit your price level and yet be something 'a cut above' the AT's.  You might want to spring for a new stylus for it's cart, but I'd consider that SOP.I ran into a Garrard Zero 100 at a local Goodwill... 
Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable?
...late feedback to dlcockrum's comment 12/29 "What drugs are you on?"...None, frankly....quite sober, perhaps unfortunately.  Anyone who can't tolerate some humour with regard to the subject's extremism does get my apologies for my admittedly ext...

Dave....proving that vampires are Really Hard to Kill...*LOL*But I really like the 'coat hanger' idea...but only if they're solid copper, like buss bars, tinned from end to end, wrapped in the flesh of some environmentally 'non-sensitive' creature...
