Folder for each artist in Hard drive?
Since you changed the location of your iTunes source you will need to repeat the process of adding your music to your iTunes library. Assuming all your music is now on your external drive, I would delete your entire iTunes library while making sur... 
Which Pre Amp Amp for New User? Opinions Please
I wouldn't start buying equipment on Audiogon without first listening to some different systems at dealers/friends houses to get an idea of the sound you like. Otherwise you may find yourself on the audio equipment merry go round. In my experience... 
Audiogon sellers, please stop and read this thread
I recently had such an offer from a potential buyer. Unfortunately, it appears that the professional scammers have discovered Audiogon. To avoid any such issues I typically avoid buying from sellers with no/negative feedback, and only sell if the ... 
Upgrade rainmakers to hawks,clues,tekton or fritz?
I owned the Hawks for many years and currently own the Lore-S. IMO both are excellent speakers but with quite different tonal characters. The Hawks have excellent bass for their size, and actually go a bit lower than the Lore-S even though they ar... 
Totem hawks good for low volume listening?
There have been quite a few threads on equipment for low volume listening--I would recommend searching through them. In my experience, the quality of the amplification matters as much as the speakers for good low volume sound. That being said, a s... 
Totem hawks good for low volume listening?
I completely agree with Akg_ca that Totems need hi-current, high wattage amps to drive them effectively. I haven't heard Mcintosh or Musical Fidelity with Totems so I can't comment on how well they'd work. I sold the Hawks b/c I decided to go with... 
TAD Rocks Big Time
I too am shocked and saddened at the news of Paul's passing. I was the proud owner of one of his TADAC units for a number of years and always found him extremely professional and personable in his communications. He just struck me as a really nice... 
Totem hawks good for low volume listening?
I owned the Hawks for a number of years and think they're a very special speaker--particularly at their price point. That being said, you really need to run them with some good solid state power in order to fully unlock their range, imaging and de... 
Affordable 300b Replacements
Thanks for all the info. I did try the black treasure cv181s in the amp as 6sn7 replacements but felt the top was a bit rolled off so was hesitant about replacing the 300b tubes with the same brand. I'm drawn to the JJs as they've been described a...

How many cables do I need for my turntable system?
The Denon has a built in phono preamp so you shouldn't need any other equipment immediately. However, if you expand your system to include other sources such as a shiny disc player you'll need RCA interconnects as well. 
How many cables do I need for my turntable system?
Sounds like all you'll need is speaker cables as your table has RCA cables attached. There are a number of budget cables that Audiogoners typically recommend including BlueJeans, JW Audio & Anticables. Depending on the length you'll need you s... 
Tekton Lore vs. M-Lore
Have you spoken with Eric at Tekton? My experience is that he'll give you an honest assessment of the differences between the two speakers based on your equipment and listening and won't just try to sell the more expensive speaker.
