| Best debut album vinowino,"Fleetwood Mac. ( aka The dustbin album. Peter Greens Fleetwood Mac)"Green's Mac were a bit like Barrett's Floyd, or Curtis's Joy Division (now there's another great debut album - 1978s Unknown Pleasures) compared to what came later.Les... | |

| What Are Your Experiences with Decoupling Products and Your Recommendations? Most audio equipment comes fitted with rubber feet. That's just as well as rubber is a great isolator, offering hundreds of times better isolation than spikes. Whether audio equipment need isolation is another matter entirely. Loudspeakers are whe... | |
| Technics or Thorens, need suggestions The original SP10 was already an industry technological monster.I’d be surprised if even the new one was anything but marginally better.Has anyone heard both? | |
| What Do You Think . . . and How Does It Work? kenjit,You started off with some good points, but what happened after the conspiracy to suppress Harry Olson's research? The speaker industry has swindled thousands of audiophiles over the last few decades using the same techniques. We have been ... | |
| Help with upgrade bug... $5k gives lots of options new, almost limitless used. Without listening it's tough to identify what's best for you. On the other hand merely improving on the Totem Forests should not be too challenging, especially when it comes to scale.In your pl... | |

| Best debut album edcyn,"As much as I loved the Sex Pistols, they were too much of a one trick pony. I still regret, though, that I missed them when they played the Roxy (or was it the Whisky?). I went to buy a ticket. They had already sold out....not the Pistols t... | |

Speakers were the Quad 57's. The amps were the Quad II mono's and the 303 (SS).. 15wpc and 35wpc, respectively. Si... | |
