No sound coming from spekaers - turntable?
Glad to hear you are up and running Toxic. Each of us have had our issues with our gear, and very often you will find that is does turn out to be something quite simple. Enjoy the music! 
Turntable belt/pulley help- kind of urgent
Your Denon table DOES NOT need a separate phono stage. There is a small switch under the platter that needs to be turned ON when you are playing your vinyl. Pull the platter, check the switch to confirm it is in the ON position.Best Regards!And, t...

Help with a budget turntable/amp/speaker system?
You really are off to a good start on the journey. I know part of the process is the apprehension in buying the proper components, but falling into your preferred brands is part of the process. I feel that most brands do carry something of their o... 
Interesting video to share.....been there?
My favorite part may be the fact that he had his wife return the CD for him. Seems like I'm not the only one. :-)

Sad news for VPI - from their Facebook page...

Ashes. Snow. Love.
It is always great to hear about new music stirring the soul. I agree with the analysis of Adams- maddeningly inconsistent. I had given up on him due to the cost of buying from his prolific catalog and his recent somewhat lackluster efforts. Great...

2011 "comeback" records
I don't recall if this was 2011 or 2010, but Gang of Four's newest effort is stellar. 
What started you on your audiophile journey .
I too had always loved music as a kid. As a young paper boy, part of our salary was put into a bond for us when we quit. On that glorious day, I took my "bond" money and rushed with my mom to the local "stereo" store. I ended up purchasing an all ... 
Thanks R.E.M.
Maxnewid - looks like we cut our teeth on some very similar bands. Made me think of the band Zeitgeist as well (Translate Slowly)! Enjoyed a spin with it today! Has been fun thread to read and catch a glimpse into others views on a band that reall...
