Whats on your turntable tonight?
@convinced, I'm impressed! I discovered Smiley Smile (and Wild Honey) in the spring of '68, and soon read (in Paul Williams' Outlaw Blues, a great book on music) about the entire Smile album debacle. That album would have been, had it been complet... 
Your 3 Favorite Songs
"God Only Knows", written by Brian Wilson (music) and Tony Asher (lyrics), performed by The Beach Boys, vocals by Carl Wilson."What Becomes Of The Broken Hearted", written by William Weatherspoon, Paul Riser, and James Dean, performed by Jimmy Ruf... 
The "how many reviews it got" rule
So true jl35. Some designers/manufactures are uninterested in playing the review game, accepting the fact that to do so prevents their products from achieving the sales they deserve and could possibly achieve. It's much like the artists who declin... 
Platter mat insanity
I like and agree with all of Victor Pattachiolla’s designs EXCEPT the Resomat. The Salvation turntable, excellent; the Terminator arm, excellent (and a great value). But the Resomat, like the Transcriptors turntable, suspends the LP in air, not a ... 
Platter mat insanity
While the Terminator arm is temporarily unavailable (Vic builds them in batches), Trans-Fi is still in business and the Resomat currently available. 
Your last concert was to see who and when?
I saw Dylan in the early 1990’s at The Hollywood Bowl, the worst show I’ve ever witnessed by anybody (though The Stones at The Staples Center a decade later was close. Time to hang it up, fellas). Both he and his band (G.E. Smith / guitar and mugg... 
Bozak concert grand speakers
My error, it was Wharfedale whose large enclosure models incorporated sand filled chambers.

Have you tried to move them yet? They were designed with empty chambers intended to be filled with sand! 
Why should we think of "what microphones heard " as a standard
flashbazbo’s post says it all; that’s EXACTLY how almost all commercial recordings are made. It is also the reason why using any of them in the attempt to assess the accuracy of a system, or loudspeaker, or any other component, is pointless. One C... 
Best all British, except cables, system you heard or can think of.
inna, the GR Research/Rythmik OB/Dipole Sub is a completely different animal than are sealed and ported subs, even really good ones like REL’s. It works well with all loudspeakers, but especially dipoles. A dipole sub with a dipole speaker, see? S... 
What's your favorite lyric from a song?
slaw, I listened to that Lucinda song just last night. The way she sings "Oh my baby" is SO lascivious! It leaves no doubt what she is implying ;-) . 
Aries 1 JWM 10 Tonearm replacement or upgrades?
@billandsol, there is a VPI Super Platter with inverted bearing on U.S. Audiomart right now, asking price $1200.

Oops, Karsten.

Bass for the Quads I left out because that HAS to be American---the GR Research/Rythmik Direct Servo-Feedback OB/Dipole Sub is the only way to go! If it has to be British, the Gradient dipole sub will do. 
speakers with active bass
Jim Salk not only builds powered subs into his higher-priced loudspeaker models, he does so with the Rythmik Servo-Feedback sub!
