Magico Pods vs Townshend Seismic Platforms
+1 @goose I had the exact same experience with my Belle Klipsch. Townshend speaker bars did the trick. I just needed them isolated from the floor floating wood floor. Now the speakers float above the floor. Your mileage may vary...  
Shanling ET3 or Project CD RS2-T CD transport comparison
I know that this is not what you asking...Just to complicate things for you, I love my Cambridge CXC transport. I was looking at the Shanling ET3 because I liked the simplicity of the top loading as opposed to the drawer style. But I kept reading ... 
The importance of acoustics basic among reviewers.
I didn't see the video he is referring to, but I agree with his argument. I also have great respect for @mahgister and his audio journey.  
Favorite Newly Discovered Female Vocalist
Don't forget Rhiannon Giddens. She is also a great musician.  
Does other Audiogon members' opinion carry any weight for you ?
100%. I’ve only been on for a few years. I have selected my system around the comments and feedback from those group. I have listened when possible and also trusted.   
Score!!! Just Picked up a Pair of "THE best for Beatles" Speakers.
@waytoomuchstuff  I admire you saving these gems. I have several pieces that are not working and I cannot bare to see in a dumpster. Problem is there are very few people in the Bay Area that work on old stereo electronics. Good on you.   
Looking for more advice on purchasing a new turntable.
+1 for the Dr Feikert Volare, it could be your end game table once you upgrade the arm down the road.

Humour
@aewarren +1 @grisslybutter You are correct!  
Humour
Paul Klipsch and Amar Bose see each other from a across the street in heaven. Paul with hands on each side of his mouth yells, "How you doing Amar?"   Amar with his hand 2" in front of his mouth responds, "Pretty good Paul".  
A nightmare regarding streaming?
That’s disturbing. I have spent hours putting together playlists for the winery I work with, several lists 10 hours long so the staff doesn’t get tired of the same songs. We use Tidal /Mac Mini and Meyer Sound. I can’t imagine coming home had fin... 
4Point9 vs. OL Conqueror vs. Vertere Super Groove HB
@rsf507  It is currently my top choice too. I wish I could have afforded it before the price crept up. I just recently began looking at the Vertere, so it also has appeal. Thank you for your insight.  
4Point9 vs. OL Conqueror vs. Vertere Super Groove HB
@rauliruegas  Yes, I agree the Belles have their limits. My goal is to make them sound as good as they can. Down the road if desired, I can change out speakers. These do sound real nice right now, except for the bass control. If I hear you correc... 
4Point9 vs. OL Conqueror vs. Vertere Super Groove HB

4Point9 vs. OL Conqueror vs. Vertere Super Groove HB
@lewm Thank you for the suggestion. The second TT (changer) is now gone and replaced with the Decware phono pre. I will get rid of the chotchkies and ROK turntable displayed on top and have a listen.  Cheers, Eddie
