Integrated that blew you away

Transrotor vs Stable 33.33 - New discussion thread
Not mentioned here yet but certainly an option: instead of spending $$ for a TT to accommodate a record weight, why not spend much less and get a warp flattener?  After all, the problem is the media, not the playback mechanism.  
Rega reference belt disappointment
But was it cryogenically treated before you tried your experiment?  
Need Recommendation for Coffee Shop
Stop thinking of this installation in terms of home audio.  It is for background music while folks are enjoying your wares.  Unless your venue is being advertised as a listening lounge, you want your patrons to be comfortable being there, and able...

There is no substitute for cubic inch or in this case surface area
That's the great thing about extolling the virtues of home-built; nobody else has a means for comparison to confirm or refute the claims.  
Anyone else constantly curious about amps?
"I can't afford it"?? That should be your answer right there.  Why get the forum involved?  
How to choose speakers that won't overpower your room?
All about placement and setup.  I use Klipsch Forte IV's with a REL S/510 in a room that's 12x10 with 9-12 foot ceiling, arranged asymmetrically.  Probably not a typical choice for a room that size, but works out better than my Salk monitors (with...
