Cartridge recommendation please...
I just hauled out my old turntable as well.  I set up a independent system with a Project Xpression table, Ortofon OM Super 20e cartridge, Bellari 129 and Sennheiser 580 phones.  Am listening right now and am amazed at how much enjoyment I am gett... 
Baby Proof Floorstanding Speakers
As above--used their outriggers  multiple times and love them.  Get over-sized ones.  Or, if you have carpet and cheap osb flooring, with a little modification you could literally screw the outriggers right into the osb!!  Now try to knock that over. 
If you could, what live performances would you enjoy re-living?
Beethoven's 9th--the original one. 
Enjoying Vinyl Once Again
@frozentundra   What a hoot Jeff!  Two peas in a pod.  I'm expecting this to become a part of my musical ritual.  I'm picking up new supplies, plan on building a small custom rack.  Tweaking the Bellari looks fun too.  All kinds on new adventures....

In fact, I did look that over last weekend.  I ordered their grounded anti-static arm mounted brush.  Looking at their mats as well.

@fuzztone       I googled the mat and came up empty.  Where is this available?   Thanks.

Bill, appreciate the link.  I was looking for something a bit more detailed than that however ;)  Actually, it appeals to the OCD in me.Thanks! 
Which integrated amplifier .
Years ago I drove a pair of 1.7's with a Marantz PM8005.  I actually preferred the sound to that of a 200wpc power amp. Don't think you need crazy high "numbers" to enjoy the Magnepans. So if money is tight, I was shocked how well the two paired u... 
Very humble beginnings............and yours?
Radio Shack used to sell these kits in the clear/red box and you would breadboard whatever.  Started with a crystal radio.  Moved on to a two transistor FM radio! Then I had to try....................... 
Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling
Thanks Steve.  I suspect with "unicrystal" wire, directionality becomes less of an issue.   
Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling
After building my helix IC's I decided I am going to use a cotton sleeve on the signal and return to mitigate the "spring" in this cable.  Question--I used the 18g VH copper and after the fact realized I payed no attention to the direction of the ... 
Member Almarg passed away last night
I can imagine years from now I'll be searching for some info and I will come across something that Al posted......and I'll smile.The printed word lives on. 
Charging A Fee To Demo An Amplifier In A Brick & Mortar Store
Can you imagine as a dealer how many people who might "like a listen" with no intent of buying.  Must drive them nuts.  If you have $17k to burn on amps, an audition fee is not likely to be a big deal.  Furthermore, how do you make an informed dec...

Thanks for the recommendation. I'll pick up a copy of the sacd. 
YAMAHA A S-3000 INTEGRATED AMPLIFIER REVIEW
regarding the hot running Yamaha, more than one owner has had a "dud".  A shame.  But I recall reading the cause of this was a bias pot that seemed to drift (during shipping??). In any event, the fix is an easy adjustment of that pot.  With the ri...
