| Best Hobby related purchase of 2010 Blindjim, you are in trouble. Your 'smoking' money will lead to overspending on audio, and that is a good thing or is it a bad thing. Since you will now be living longer, best you open a 'gold' account and put your 'smoking' money in it, otherwise... | |
| Help a confused newbie build his first setup... Put most of your budget into the speakers. I suggest looking at used ProAc, either the 1SC's or 140's. As a musician I think you would like the sound of the tube Cayin 100T, often available used for about $1800. I've paired the latter with both of... | |

| Any info on Denon DL-80 MC cartridge?? I have a couple of 47F's, one did have the dl80, the others the 160. Using the same electronics, all tubes, I could not tell the difference. The 47F's are great machines. I've given a couple away to my children as a way to interest them in vinyl. ... | |

| Looking to get back into Vinyl. I second the VPI classic suggestion. Better sound, better value. It has a clear path of upgrades. Clearaudio stuff has many reliability issues. | |

| Audio Supports The pros/cons are rooted in the real world of physics. Four beats three any day. Any working of a model of the physical forces in play will tell you that. | |
| Component racks Best to keep the racks completely open. Also, make plans to use some laptop coolers to keep the tubes 'cool'. Laptops coolers are a very inexpensive way to do the cooling. Their fans are very quite. There are many UBS free standing hubs that can b... | |
| Budgeting for 2011 Music and Gear What about shows? You know RMA and CES. Any self respecting goner would be putting 25% in that area. More fun in going to at least one of these. As for your college fund, well I advise your kids set on a goal of going to one of the service academi... |
