Ancient AR Turntable with NO anti skate
My first 'real' TT was an AR....simple, straightforward, the only thing it lacked was a 'lift' mechanism, since nimble fingers sometimes aren't...*G*Anti-skate is a very subjective issue...some notice it, others don't.  I addressed it by going int... 
What to add or change for my system?
I'll vote with djohnson54...kick back for awhile and get used to your system.  Play Everything you've got at least 2~3X, esp. the selections you're well-acquainted with.  Fool around with speaker placement...see if anything stands out as an issue.... 
Legacy Audio Classic HD Speakers with or without Sub
HO....keep your subs and give the Legacy's a go In Your Space.  If you feel you'd like the bass 'extension' after all, you'll be good to go and give the Legacy's a break, so to speak.Depends on your musical tastes in the final analysis, and that's... 
Old Amp vs. New Amp
I used to own a pair of Kenwood L-07's that I'd steal back in a heartbeat.  Beauty and Power in a substantial package, and still highly regarded from what I gather.  But, wishes 'n fishes....;) 
Is it too bright or is it high resolution?
'Bright', HO, seems to go 'mano e mano' with resolution.  Speed in response of the given radiator is another factor....Just another 'balancing act' with everything involved.  One item in a given system could effect the overall performance....or wh... 
Whats playing on your system today?
...missed the word 'think' in there.... 
Whats playing on your system today?
I realize we're supposed to apolitical here but, given the current situation we've finding ourselves in....IMHO...Dire Straits (how appropo), 'Industrial Disease'.I don't it matters which side of the fence you're on...;)  
Tune of the Day
Didn't listen to a damn thing today except the spouse complaining about the 60 cps 'hum' coming through a tv moved to a different location.  Spent a chunk of the evening chasing that devil.  Turns out it was in just THAT circuit, no other.  No con... 
Do you admit that you ever enjoyed listening to:

Up to $4500 burning a hole in my pocket
geoffkait, that's the best 'audio pun' I've seen used here in the entire time I've lurked and posted here @AK....kudos, sir. ;)...maybe 2 half Witts would make a hole, but only in one's wallet...and then there's living with some half Witts.  It's ... 
Have you ever tried a pair of speakers and said this Is the last thing I will ever need.
dave b...*L* Sarcastic, yes...twit, hardly.  But thanks for the poet laureate thought. ;)  I strive in my way...After various iterations of speakers, and the lust for some beyond reach, it dawned on me that 'chasing the bleeding edge' in speaker t... 
High End Amp Price Collapse musings
MHO...Class D has already surpassed all else in terms of 'units in service', if you count cell phones and any portable digital device.  As for the quality, it'll turn on demand.  What with the rise of headphones and ear buds, that is what will ult... 
Have you ever tried a pair of speakers and said this Is the last thing I will ever need.
When you ran out of cash to chase the 'bleeding edge', and stopped...When the spouse said no, and it was cheaper to keep her....When your ears finally couldn't discern any tangible difference anymore...When you finally decided to listen to the mus... 
Do you admit that you ever enjoyed listening to:
*L*  I listen to all sorts of things that might send me off to the audio 'rubber room' with one of those tightly fitting coats with those stylish belts.  And I don't care what you might think when I cue up Deadmau5  followed by Nine Inch Nails fol... 
I'm melting!!
Rubbers are noted to react to atmospheric 'additives'...note your car's wiper blades.   Even those are complex compounds...I'll still stand pat on my observation; the mfr. should send a new set gratis.  They're feet, FGS.  How much can they spend ...
