KILLER SPEAKERS!!IT WAS HARD LETTING THEM GO.WENT TO DAHLQUIST DQ20,THEN VANDERSTEEN 3A,ALON11 MKII,VON SCHWEIKERT VR6 ARE NOW IN MY ANALOG ONLY SYSTEM AND ALON V MKII IN MY CD SYSTEM. 
Grado Master, Benz Glider, or Shelder 501 ?
THIS IS VERY EASY.THE SHELTER 501 IS THE ONE.I AM USING ONE ON MY BASIS OVATION AND GRAHAM ARM AND REALLY LOVE IT.AND BEST OF ALL YOU WONT HAVE TO SACRIFICE ANYTHING.I SOLD MY TRANSFIGURATION ESPIRIT TO MY FRIEND WHO WAS USING A GRADO MASTER $800,...

Ideas for a complete analog set up 2500- 3500
BASIS 1400 TABLE,REGA RB600 ARM AND CARTRIDGE TO MATCH YOUR PHONO STAGE OR PREAMP FOR GAIN. 
Disks for protecting wood floors from spike damage
YES, AUDIO ADVISOR HAS THEM.ASIDE FROM PROTECTING THE FLOOR THE IMPROVEMENT IN THE SOUND WILL BE THE BEST TWEEK YOU CAN TOO ASIDE FROM ROOM TWEEKS. CONES INTO WOOD WILL CANCEL ALOT OF THE BASS.ISOLATION IS A MUST ON WOOD.\ 
Want speakers for 700 but none sound good.
THE BEST USED SPEAKER IN YOUR PRICE RANGE WOULD BE A PAIR OF DAHLQUIST DQ10 OR DQ20.YOU MAY HAVE TO GET THE WOOFERS REFOAMED IF THEY HAVE NOT BEEN DONE ALREADY.COST WOULD BE AROUND $120 FOR BOTH WOOFERS AND THEN YOU WOULD BE SET. 
Von Schweikert VR-8
I WOULD RECOMMEND THE VON SCHWEIKERT VR6.I OWN THEM AND WILL NOT BE LOOKING TO UPGRADE ANY TIME SOON.MANY SPEAKERS HAVE BEEN IN MY SYSTEM OVER THE YEARS AND I HONESTLY LOVE THESE THE MOST!!THESE ARE TRULY SPECIAL. 
To switch or not to switch.....
VINYL IS FINAL. 
Need Speaker Advice
