Perfect Soundtrack for Stylish Sunday Lunch?
"The Fred Astaire Story". Hours of Fred's singing accompanied by various top musicians/band leaders of the time.Also, if available on CD, look for "The Great Singers" series by Easton Press. I have 3-4 of their boxed mono audiophile LP sets (think...

Amperex PQ 6922 vs Amperex PQ 7308
Talon:In general the Holland 6922's and 7308's are a bit softer sounding than their USA counterparts. I usually prefer softer sounding 6922 types, but I ended up keeping only USA versions for personal use (so there are other subtle differences whi... 
Thorens TD 125 vs. new cheap TT?
If the Thorens does not have any serious damage, keep it. It's a much better deck than the new $500-$600 belt drives offered (even with the stock Thorens arm). Check out the following WWW address for suspension tuning info.http://www.theanalogdept... 
any suggestion for a narrow mini receiver
The Sharp Newbie mentions is the best "cheap" deal going right now, plus it contains a CD player. However, it is a bit wider than 13". The CD/amp sections are nice. FM is OK for background music with the supplied antenna. AM is not so hot. I'm in ...

Problems with Siemens CCa 6922 tubes?
Boa2:E288CC is not a direct substitute for ECC88/E88CC/E188CC. Best to check with Audion prior to trying one (the added heater current draw may damage the amp).I owned an Audio Silver Night 300B SET stereo amp for a couple of years, but am not fam...

I have not talked with him for quite some time, but seem to recall that member Brulee has used both shelves. You might try contacting him.As I understand it the more recent Neuance shelves do not require spike mounting (they can simply be placed u... 
Is extremely accurate "VTA" adjustment necessary?
Jphii:What arm do you use with the VTAF (that's the one I refer to)? 
Is extremely accurate "VTA" adjustment necessary?
An Audiogon ad for an after market "on the fly" VTA product was linked in a thread @ AA. An Audiogon search of "VTA" and/or "Pete Riggle" should bring it up. The current asking price is $99. Can't imagine it fitting my old SME, but it might be of ...
