More reports-How many corrupted CD-R's with time?
Wondering how optical hologram 1 TB discs will fair versus CD-R's.Laser will switch holograms to 1/0's in 60 layers if I remember right with no reflective material (you can see through them).How stable (interview with New York research company say... 
ICEPower vs SET
This is interesting.I think it's just a matter of synergy.Such different sources have amplification that either corrects or more likely reinforces the strengths of each signal.I think there is a harsh glare in digital just not there with your LP's... 
To Bi-wire or not?
Bi-amping with external x-over is only reason speakers should have two sets of taps.Amazing what a hustle bi-wiring has been with $250 speakers to $25K is and the general B.S. on wire.Blue Jean was good choice.It has always been like those really ... 
$3000k range amplifier
Yeah.I think you could have NASA build you a Space station to power it for 3 milllllion.No really for $3K get the synergy of a Plnius amp.100 watt Class A would sound killer in small to medium room with those speakers.Everybody say's "Where's they... 
New Monk vinyl box set on Mosaic
There only back to wax for items Colombia/CBS/Sony has rights for and Casucuna made major F up's going that way.If he didn't do some really crappy boxes )Four Freshman I mean come on!) and now puts out good transfers of stuff from Woody Herman,Les... 
subwoofer suspended from ceiling?
Committed is what you should be for doing.Save that suspension for monitors or turntable on rigid pole.But Put this up so I can easily follow what happens.I am thinking of that scene in Young Frankenstein when they have to crank the table up to ge... 
Well Rounded Speakers $2500-$3000?
If you like the Gllo's you'll really like them.But I think two companies with really good value are Usher (because they have D'Apolitto make the bon x-over and infringing on copyright of best drivers like Scanspeak) or try the Totem Forrest.Totem ... 
Kind Of Blue 1st pressing stereo...
Get a original for collecting a good pressing from Classic to play or get 2 LP 45 romp.The new ones actual have correct speed which I no until recently and maybe even the original 6 eye did not.CheersChazz 
Turntable Upgrade Advice
Hey it's a split on Rega arms.No VTF or other adjustments because they feel that rigidity is paramount.Origin Live 250 is supposed to a good arm (actually all of the line)and for buck 300 and 600.But I am of mind unless you lay out for a P9 (which... 
Krell KRC-3 vs Adcom GFP-750 vs DAC1 Pre
The two passives in your price to search for in forums are the Placette and the Sonic Euphoria which go the raves.CheersChazz 
TT upgrade
My buddy has had his VPI 19 for years and though it's given hi some headaches (proably because of upgrade botch and his Audioquest arm).I am downsizing myself from a too big 12 Aries extended and thinking Scout,Scoutmaster,Super (nah to much $$$ m...

Krell KRC-3 vs Adcom GFP-750 vs DAC1 Pre
Sold Mac and Krell when they were current.I didn't like passive mode of Adcom.I got the whole stack with 300 wpc and given my speakers had to run it into my.To me it's same old story with every piece I have owned (old PS) or heard passive lacks dy... 
Hyperion HPS 968 or Coincident Total Victory IV
If you can swing Silverlines (17.5 or Sonatinas used) I think you'd be better off.Zu Druids are sensitive though folks love 'em or hate no fence sitters.And I don't know if they need big power but the DEQX controlled Emerald 3's are smaller versio... 
Help in isolating a TT with spring suspension.
I had a Brightstar inflatable platform and found it needed shifting.Was good under digital.But some folks build them wood box and inner tube (which Brightstar is).I think that if it's that bad wall mount or get out of table hate to say.But I like ...
