Elac Loudspeakers?
Kclone-This would be a near future but not an immediate purchase. Hope to visit the Toronto area before years end and listen to various Amphion-Elac-Focus Audio-Marten and Gershman Acoustic speakers. 
Sleeper Debut Lps...70s classic rock
Head East-Flat as a Pancake(1974)-Never Been Any Reason is reason enough. Ted Nugent-Ted Nugent(1975)-Ted has made many lousy over the top recordings but this could be his best work.Molly Hatchet-Molly Hatchet(1978)-Put aside the rebel flag imager... 
Best Metal Vinyl Album
After playing Metallica-And Justice For All I realize what a great recording this is! I bought the album the day it came out in 1988 so it's a very early pressing. I don't know if later pressings are at this near reference level. 
Whats your current Reference CD at the moment?

Why are Voodoo Cables not seen on Audiogon used?
Timothy m-Very Observant! Very rarely do Aural Symphonics-Blue Circle or Silver Circle Audio pc's show up on Audiogon. 
What brand did you leave Rega for?
We all know Rega turntables are far from perfect. But the P7 and P9 offer alot of musical engagement regardless of cost. The P9 RB1000 tonearm is good enough for $2k+ phono cartridges. You probably need to move up to a Spiral Groove SG-2(15k?)to b... 
New Speaker for Under 5K
Since I don't know what electronics your using or room dimensions I can only suggest 6 of the best all round speakers at approximately $5k or less(of course this is my opinion). All theses speakers are capable of bass 40hz or lower. ATC-SCM 40Elac...

Kevin gets the
Drubin-There are many dealers that really care about music, the quality of their products they sell and most importantly their customers(regardless of how much they spend). From my very limited experience with Upscale and the consensus of the comm... 
Kevin gets the
When looking for speakers(18 months ago) Upscale had NOS Opera speakers discounted. I was interested in the NIB Seconda. In my email I asked if they were firm on the price, the reponse was that's a strange question? I had no idea that bartering wa... 
Audio Technica AT-OC9ML/II Questions
I have about 50 hours on the AT-OC9MK2 so I assume it's close to being fully broke in. Mine is mounted on a Rega P9, tracking is set at 1.7g and no spacer/shim was needed. Neutral and linear would be the simplest way to describe the sound, similia... 
Audio Research DSI 200 integrated amp
For $6500 you can do better then an ARC DSI-200. I heard the 200 driving a Magnepan 1.7 and was disappointed. The ARC produced a fake type of "sweetness". This was an early production model, maybe ARC has improved the sonics? Since I have not hear... 
Why does most new music suck?
Bottomline is most music sucks old or new! Of all the recorded music how many recordings do you need or want? 
Help? Quadraspire Q4 Evo stand v SolidTech Radius?
I use a Solid Tech Radius Duo 2. I did alot of research regarding my audio rack purchase. I decided on the Solid Tech-Duo 2 over the Solid Steel 5.4 due to more self space and a better appearence. I have filled my posts(6) 3/5 of the way with cat ... 
Ray Manzarek RIP
The Doors were truly the first "alternative" pop/rock band. The timeless lyrics will always attract young adults seeking the answers/purpose in life. In the early 80's when I was in high school The Doors were probably the most popular band. They c...
