| Merlin VSM... how far from the walls ? In a normal home environment, IMO, I think the answer is always the same - put on a CD with fairly deep bass and a female vocal and move the speakers around until you get the best balance of bass and natural vocal timbre. That should get you in th... | |
| Stillpoints LP Isolator Record Weight I would not put a heavy weight on a Linn. It's just not made for it. If you want a Linn and like it, just leave it alone. | |
| Audio Note CD2.1X The only way you can tell if you would like something better is to bring it to a dealer and hook it up side by side with something else. You may well end up preferring what you have. Audio Note is not about hyper detail - it's about listening to m... | |
| cd player suggestions Dpm, we all have an amount we would like to spend, but sometimes you have to suck it up and buy something you really like. A good player will give you years of enjoyment and the extra money will soon be forgotten. I'm not for reckless spending, bu... | |
| R. I. P. Jack Bruce My wife of 20 years passed on the same day. I doubt she knows who he was, but maybe they will chat sometimes. | |
| cd player suggestions Not just because I have one, but I really think you should try to find an Ear Acute. I was told by the distributor that they are out of production now, but there may be some new ones or demos still out there. I really think it's a great piece for ... | |

Just set the overhang and a reasonably parallel arm tube and you're pretty much done. I wonder how compromised the sound would be if a high-quality spherical stylus wer... | |
| Is high-end audio dying, if not dead already??? That's why you don't buy expensive cars. You lease them and give them back in 3 years. | |
| Is high-end audio dying, if not dead already??? @Schubert - All you have to do is sell 10 $120K speakers a year and you've made $500K. And all you have to do is hit a single every third time you get up to bat and you're a multi millionaire. Sounds real easy on paper. | |

| Jazz In A Woody Allen Movie: "Fading Gigolo" There's no sense getting into an argument over something that we will never be able to verify, but I agree with Mitch. The entire vibe of the film was pure Allen. It's about the feel, the situations, the irony. I really don't understand how the Ma... | |

| Problem Setting Up ClearAudio Concept Look for some local audiophile clubs and get someone to come over and help you. I assume you didn't buy from a local dealer, as they would set it up for you, but if you bought it mail order, call them and ask them for help. | |
