More Power or use subwoofer to boost bass for music
On topic... I have an Auralex subdude in my bedroom and while it seems to help with isolating the bass to that room, don't expect miracles. Bass waves carry. How many times have you heard the bass from a car half a block away? If it's too loud, ot...

@noromance It's a repress. It does have the 3-way gatefold though. Unfortunately, it also has a gnarly warp. 
Is my room size going to be a problem for speakers?
I have a small room that I use for my computer room that's about 12 x 12. I have some harbeth p3esr special edition speakers in there and a small subwoofer. It's also where I have my best headphone amp and headphones. You could go either way or bo...

Best Klipsch floor standing speaker

Best Klipsch floor standing speaker
That's a good story. I had some KLF-30s for quite a while after looking for some for a long time. I liked those a lot as well. Better in some ways than the CF-3, but the cabinets were not very well made.  I let those go not too long ago. I'd like ...

Hawkwind - Space Ritual 
Whats on your turntable tonight?
I have the MFSL and agree. I have a $4 copy from my local record store that's pretty nice also. It doesn't have the sonics of the Hot Stamper, but plays a lot better and sounds really good in its own right.

Hall & Oates - Abandoned Luncheonette. This is my one and only Better Records "Hot Stamper". A friend gave it to me. I guess I got my money's worth.
