Finding Rare Vinyl
Champion Versions is contained in a rerelease of their first three EPs cleverly titled "The Three EPs." Not unlike some Beatles and I wouldn't have thought Kinks, but fits well. The later eps get a little Prog, but sort of Folk/ Prog. Very interes... 
Finding Rare Vinyl
Yeah. I contacted the guy and he says that he can "only ship outside of the US". Sounds like BS. I just need to keep looking for it. They pop up every now and then. Check them out though. Very different stuff and Champion Versions if by far their ...

Thanks Chayro. Hard to find. I don't really have to much of a problem with the price. Dude won't sell in the US. Sketchy. 
Finding Rare Vinyl
Yeah. I've tried all those. I'm actually looking for Champion Versions by the Beta Band. Sometimes they pop up but are very hard to find. 
The Black Keys
Since Attack & Release, their actual "studio" stuff became much more polished because they were working with Danger Mouse as their producer. Subsequent albums became better quality, but are kind of of a type of music that really doesn't lead i...

I am contemplating changing the taps on Cronus Magnum over to 4ohm. Currently running at 8, but want to see how it sounds. I'm certain the Vandy's can handle it and it shouldn't be a problem on the Rogue. Anybody else done this? How's the sound? W...

Mike, toe in is really something that's subjective. It depends on how you want the soundstage presented. Obviously, the more toe in you have, the tighter and more narrow the stage. The best way to start is to get the speakers exactly matched as fa...

Miketuason, you must excuse me as I'm listening to Naked by the Talking Heads, so I may go out there...Toe in is a bitch. I have no idea what your speaks are and how they're placed. This process is about matching the toe-in of a PAIR of speakers. ...

Great trick JohnnyR. I've done something similar, but never quite that precise. I'll give it a try and let you know.Thanks!

Sounds like a great system that is only lacking vinyl! Those happen to be almost the exact dimensions of my room, but because of the layout I have to go on the long wall with my system. As far as the laser tiltback goes, what's your process? I've ...

Audiocon, Oh yeah. I've got about half a bag of dry mason's sand left from an isolation table that I built all ready to go. Thanks. 
Rogue Cronus Magnum phono stage
That we do, Adam. Last week I also picked up a couple of Signal Cable power cables as well. They have made a clear difference and I'd rather spend the six or seven hundred that I would have spent on higher end cables toward a phono stage or a step...

Thanks for all the great info guys. You really know your Vandy's. I'm freaking ecstatic. Their sitting in the box at home as I'm flying to Capetown for two weeks to finish a work project. Have to make sure I spend enough time with the wife when I ... 
Rogue Cronus Magnum phono stage
Adam18. I love the way it sounds with my Scout/ Grado makeup. I just wanted to play around with MC carts and most of the ones I've been looking at are gonna need more than the 45dB that I believe the Cronus phono stage is set to. I've talked to Ma...
