| Tyler Acoustic vs. Paradigm I can't compare both, but I absolutely love my Taylo Reference Monitors. Used through Ty is an absolute steal for the sound, but make sure you also get the matching stands. Why don't you post your state/city to see if someone here (near your area)... | |
| Best integrated amp with MartinLogan Aerius I have never owned the Aerius speakers, but I can still confidently recommend a Bryston B60 integrated amp. This was the amp I owned (and really loved) prior to getting my present Plinius 8200 mkII. I recommend it for two reasons:First, the midran... | |
| Tyler Acoustics Speaker Stands I have the Taylo Reference Monitors with the stands that are made to match them. They replaced a pair of B&W CDM1-NT speakers with heavy duty ($300) Target stands. The Taylos on the matching stands absolutely blew away the B&Ws. Absolutely... | |

I know Mac has that mp3 download service that you pay for, and I also know that Phish has started releasing all of their shows for download via both ... | |

I agree with much of what Seasoned says, but the assumptions always seem to be that one will be downloading music in mp3 format. Now, this may be what you are looking to do, a... | |
| Extreme Phono None-Felt Mat Residue Winoguy17,I don't clamp. Just the record sitting on the mat on the platter.Thanks for the advice about emailing Ng. Good to hear not everyone has this problem. | |
| Extreme Phono None-Felt Mat Residue Sc53,Good to hear you don't have the problem. I don't know how to describe the residue. . . . . It definitely is not any kind of "plastic shaving" or dust. Looks like a bunch of dots where the record comes in contact with the mat. Kind of looks li... |
