Your favorite 'concept' album
Alan Parson Project--you pick. 
New Melody Gardot release
Just ordered up on Amazon.  Thanks goodness they are still releasing on CD.  I have enjoyed her music for some time. 
Emerald Physics CS2.3
@pkatsuleas I did not opt for the BOM unit. I think the main limiting factor is that I can only have them out 2 feet from the front wall. I am very very impressed with the nice imaging I achieve with this limitation. Open baffle bass is terribly i...

One comment.  I read a number of reviews on the Spatial speakers having limited height to the soundstage.  I am intolerant of that.  I picked up a close out on the EP KC II Pros and I have to say they are killer.  Even close to the front wall they... 
Magnepan 1.7 speakers (asking for a friend)
I had the 1.7's in two different rooms, one larger and one smaller than yours.  In the smaller 13x15' room, they were nearly half way out into the room and I sat right against the rear wall.  Great imaging with bass reinforcement.  In the larger r... 
Cartridge recommendation please...
@lmnop   Would you elaborate on the sound quality of the cartridges you mentioned, particularly in the technics 1210gr? 
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.......................
