Loricraft Record Cleaning
Rfogel8: On the lower end Smart Double Matrix, they put a mirror below the record so you can see the other side with a little side lighting while it cleans. And you don't have to worry about too much vaccuming (more than 2 spins on a VPI generates...

When I did my research Mapleshade worked better if you had solid footing for the turntable rack, my friend (who bought mine) put the mapleshade footer (M6 thread) on his and put that on top of a 4" thick Maple board and the results are stunning.

I'll second the Clearaudio recommendation, if you can't afford the double matrix then look at the Smart Double matrix (about half the cost) where all you do is squeeze the fluid bottle to float fluid on the recond on both sides is a dream, plus si...

Meridian as a Preamp Question
Stanwine: in response to your "Ultimately are you saying that a good two channel preamp despite inferior DAC's will produce a better result?"NO, I would say that if you are using the DAC power of your surround processor, adding a preamp might give... 
Goodbye CD's
I loved borders selection but I didn't like the $18.99 for a cd that retails for $13.99... pricing... Best Buy doesn't have any selection anymore, Circuit City is a mess for selection... looks like Amazon is going to win on this one.. 
Meridian as a Preamp Question
I own a Meridian 568.2 and I use to own WP7's (now Maxx's), compared to my EAD signature the Meridian I found to be too sterile but way better for surround (Dolby II, subwoofer setup, amazing clarity), changing the footers to Sorbothane helped to ...

Rnm4: It doesn't matter how full range a speaker is when placed ideally for imaging (away from walls) you can lose bass reinforcement. You can also end up with the main speakers in a bass null related to the seating position. So using actively cro...

Maril555: I ran a Shelter 501 Mk2 cart on my Technics Sl1210 M5G with great results, but if I had the KAB fluid Dampener it would have been even better, because this cart is low compliance and didn't work as well on my RB300 on my Funk Vector as i...

Spraglow: if you aren't going to rewire the stock arm, spend the extra and get the 1210 M5G which has OCF copper cabling in the tonearm plus it's the best looking.I liked the performance of my 1210 M5G and how amazingly easy it was to setup and ma... 
Best MUSICAL subwoofer for Maxx 2's quality sound?
The Wilson Watch Dog or any Wilson sub of course matches perfectly. The speed of my Watch Dog II and the impressive crossover allows for seamless matching. If you are using a sub on the Maxx's I would try running the crossover in the 40hz for musi...
