Jazz In A Woody Allen Movie: "Fading Gigolo"
That movie was classic Woody. I find it hard to believe Allen didn't write or direct that movie. I think he did, but for some reason, he wanted Turturro to take the credit. Why? God only knows. Allen's mind works in mysterious ways. 
Have I Hit The Point Of Diminishing Returns?
You hit the point of diminishing returns when you want to justify not spending any more money. 
Isolation disc for speaker spikes on wood floors.
The Herbies teflon gliders are nice and allow you to move the speaker around to optimize the sound. I use them on a thin carpet floor and really appreciate being able to easily move the speakers if I have to. As an aside, Jim Smith from "Get Bette... 
Linn Sondek LP12 impressions
So Daveyf - how much would you say you put into the Linn at this point total? 
We get into a GROOVE.
Hopefully your tastes will eventually evolve to the point where you're just thinking about whether you're digging the experience of listening to the record and less about the sonics. When you reach that stage, you'll actually be enjoying yourself.... 
Turntable Upgrade: What Sonic areas will improve?
IMO, you should buy the Music Hall 7.1 Underwoodwally has up for sale for $1100. Nice table, nice arm/cartridge, dust cover, dealer support and if it comes smashed, you won't be responsible. It's a hell of a lot better than what you had and you'll... 
Zu Audio Soul Supreme Impressions?
I think everyone tends to read reviews, look at pictures and imagine how various components sound, to the point where we actually think we're right. The truth is, until you have something home in your system, you're pretty much engaging in fantasy. 
Your favourite recording label?
I'll tell you David, Stockfisch certainly does a wonderful recording job and it's always nice to have something that justifies the amount of money spent on a nice system. But I have just grown too weary of audiophile demo music, if you know what I... 
Zu Audio Soul Supreme Impressions?
What makes you think you're going to like them better than what you have? 
How big a change would this upgrade make?
Get a record player. I have nothing against digital and I play plenty of CDs. But IMO,if you respond to vinyl, it will bring you more enjoyment than more expensive amps. Look into it. My suggestion is - instead of buying 11 grand worth of stuff, b... 
Crazy?
Somebody should tell this guy that they are pumping out new records by the thousands. The average person doesn't even know records are still made, so this story seems somewhat interesting to them. 
Speaker cables to smoothen things up
Cardas Golden Cross, or probably any of the older Cardas cables like Neutral Reference will soften things up for sure. 
Do distortion 's affect enjoyment of speaker?
It's obvious that the better the distortion specs, the more you will like listening to the speakers. That's the way everyone does it. Saves you the trouble of listening and making up your own mind. Same goes for amplifiers as well. I suggest one o... 
I need some speakers identified.
Janis subwoofers! 
what will be the best old CLASSIC amp to rebuild.
Personally, I would find a person who is qualified to rebuild an amplifier and discuss it with them. No sense buying some old non-working amp and not being able to find someone to rebuild it. Unless you have someone local, I think it's not a very ...
