UGH...The tired, "BEST" Rock guitarist thread
Thanx for the tip, just bought the Remember Shakti from discogs. $12 for double CD!   
Too Much Power
More often than not, not enough power. Got the Parasound Halo A21+, class A/B, 500 watts per channel @4 ohms feeding my PBN Montana XPS speakers and the first 6 watts are pure class A. Not too much heat and packs a wallop.

Not the best pick for Manzanera. Listen to "Walking through Heaven's door", magical and audiophile quality to boost.  
Better sound on rainy days?
I am going to install a fire sprinkler system in my listening room and keep it on when listening to FM on my tuner.  
Just got my pair of Beyerdynamic DT770 Pros
Same as ghdprentice, with my house of stereo system I have no more use for my Beyerdynamic T1 Gen2. Got very little use, like less than 25 hours. Will sacrifice for half price.

@j-wall  About room acoustics, with a room only 15' deep, you need some corner bass traps and a lot of diffusers in the back third of the room since you likely have very little space behind your listening position. I agree 100% with the posters e... 
Dust cover up or down?
VPI Classic, custom cover fully off when playing, back on when not. Pro-ject debut III, cover with hinges, up when playing, down when not. It really has a lot to do with the design and quality of the TT and cart.    
Is a separate phono pre really necessary?
@smanuel  PS Audio Stellar phono preamp. Custom setting allows easy setting to exactly 470 ohms or whatever you need up to 1000 ohms. No brainer to me. BTW, Michael Fremer feels the same about it.  
most beautiful (looking) speakers
The ones that sound best.  
Ps audio aspen FR 30 Loudspeakers
My 2 cents about PS Audio. Absolutely love my Stellar phono pre-amp, but returned both the BHK signature preamp and the perfect wave CD transport. So much for synergy lol.  
Is it ok to stack LPs horizontally?
@bdp24  Thanks for the tip. Since I have fairly sizable empty space in each of my 41 shelves (I always have more shelves than I need so I can keep adding records), instead of the inner cardboard, I just bought 50 reinforced 2" wide vinyl cardboar... 
Vinyl Repair?
We are obviously all a little crazy. On a couple occasions I went as far as using a thin threading needle to get rid of a skip. It worked on one album but also destroyed a song on an original very expensive NIN The fragile triple album. Ended up b... 
Can a great system make a mediocre recording sound good?
+1 @gosta  Well said, my experience exactly.
