"Not paypal"
The best pay option is: cash on pickup. 'cashiers checks' are a favorite of the Nigeria lot. Clearance can take over sixty days. Check with your bank before deposit and give the bank that it is drawn on. Pre clearance is a must. 
Amp for Proac Studio 140 mk2?
I drive my 140's with a tube Cayin 100, and VAS tube monoblocks. Great sound, great value. Both provide better sound then solid state class a Marantz mono blocks, which I still have to drive ProAc 1SC's. 
Aging and Treble and Income?
I am just shocked, yes really shocked that speakers are all not designed to have flat response across the full band. Julian Hirsch, Stereo Review fame, will never permit such a thing. 
450 Pound Monobloc Amplifier
I understand that the 3050 comes with a fork lift, a must have accessory. Also, Boulder pays for your local building inspector to visit and do a structural inspection. You don't want the amp falling into the basement.

Since most vinyl have a CD version, you might use one of the CD data bases, to speed you management. The are very hand y to get track information. Otherwise, its best to just use an Excel program. Also, hire a high school kid over the summer to do...

Another audio dealer closes his shop
People go into the hi end audio business with their hearts, not their heads. I am thankful for that in I don't think we would have some of the great products today if the 'head' prevailed. The Chinese have in many ways given the business a new lea... 
Aging and Treble and Income?
The answer to your question is yes, but has little to do with the audio high end. Aging produces hearing loss, and that means at some point, if you want to hear all the sounds of life, hearing aids. Yes, there are 'hi end' hearing aids, some costi... 
Another audio dealer closes his shop
We have a high end dealer in my town, Summit New Jersey. They have been in business for a least 25 years. I doubt they do $30K per month, but I believe they own their own real estate, which provides a huge economic support for the business. I am s...

Upgrade TecnoDec Feet?
I offer for your consideration an alternative path. Acoustically isolate the turn table with some type of acoustic screen. Here's the take. Your speakers create high levels of acoustic energy, that flies around the room, some striking all componen... 
Original VPI Aries vs VPI classic 3
I agree, Harry is a fox, once he gets into your 'coup', he will take you to the poor house with upgraditis. Don't get me wrong, Harry makes great products. Just stick to the original and forget the upgrade band wagon. Harry is the master of 'produ... 
Storing CDs to play... Carousel?
I use two Sony 300 disk changes, chained, in my office system. Sound is not really affected if you are using the original cd's. I have found that when I use burned cd's, done on various computers and software, the units will sometimes not read the... 
Can a new amplifier affect speaker placement?
As spoken, system synergy, does play an important part in the sound you get. The 'system' is a chain, changing one part of the chain will change the overall result. The interconnects and speaker cable will always play an important part of the soun...

Hey, I too have the original,with SDS and the Black Diamond Racing pucks (made for the Aries). It sits on an inch of granite, suspended on inverse steel spikes. The 10.5 has a Clearaudio Victory MC. Great sound, great value in the used market. I p...
