Have 300b MB want a killer pair of Hi-Eff speakers
Magic Ultimate II should do the left hand piano keys well. 
Anybody in Denver go to Audio Unlimited yesterday?
I knew that John passed away, very sad news. I did not know that they were closing shop. I visited there twice on trips to Colorado and enjoyed both visits. John and AU will be missed.

Your post is a bit vague, "as they close a long time Pillar of the Audio Community." Who are they closing? 
vpi cleaner
I have used a 16.5 for about 6 years, same machine, cleaned about 1500 lps in that time. Still looks and works like new. I have thought about going to the 17 with fan for the ability for more cleaning before the machine heats up and a bit quieter ... 
Music Room and Floods
Thanks for the ideas. My insurance guy states that the maximum coverage for all things related to water seepage, etc. is $10,000, this includes repairs and personal property. My basement is only about 3 1/2 feet deep, the rest is above ground so r... 
dynuaudio c-1s in a small 10x12 room?/amppower?
Chuck, from your description of your room you are probably hearing a lot of music reflected from your walls, front to back then to you. If this works great, phase would be difficult to get right but perhaps with a room small enough such a trick mi... 
Has anyone heard Rega's Isis CDP?
Audiofreakgeek, I find Elinor's comments interesting as well, thus they are not worthless, they are interesting. Thanks for posting Elinor, I am not familiar with Neodio and will look into it for future reference. 
Audience adeptResponse aR6
I am very satisfied with the Audience. It brings more dynamics to the music, more detail and a lower noise floor. I used to use a shunyata hydra 6 with python and tiapan power cords, they seemed to reduce noise, perhaps add some air but overall I ... 
VPI Aries versus VPI Classic
I think the Classic is a good turntable for the money, but just that, it is getting a great deal of hype but when I have heard it, and I have quiet a bit at my dealer when I listen to used LP's there prior to purchase, it is not the best they have... 
Stillpoint component stand with Verity Parsifals
I did call Bruce, he is very helpful and a wealth of information. He recommends using the Ultra bases directly onto the carpet. He feels that there is little difference between floor types with the stillpoints as they are very effective in dissipa... 
Stillpoint component stand with Verity Parsifals
Albert, are you using the Stillpoint Ultra's direct to the carpet? I was considering a set of 4 of the Alum. model for my Parsifals but wonder if that would work direct on the carpet as opposed to carpet piercing spikes. 
Uneven balance
Due to room accoustics my right speaker is louder in my listening position than the left, I use the balance, would prefer a better room but the balance works. 
Why do my HDCDs play lower on my HDCD machine?
I have had that happen with my Naim CDX2. I think that some CD's are not compressed and "volume enhanced", my SACDs usually play a bit lower in volume, my few anoying pop cd's play loud, this is often done to make a big initial impact. I am not su... 
Vinyl in the News
If a credit card is vinyl, what is cash? 
Are there new players with HDCD?
The Naim CDP's decode HDCD, I used to have a Naim CDX2 and really liked it, I upgraded to an Esoteric UX-3 but could easily remained happy with the Naim, and I did like the HDCD in most cases.
