Child Damage Mitigation
+1 pictaker5 perfect solutions indeed For those of you suggesting stand-mounts - be careful there as well. My 3  year old son was able to poke a hole in the tweeter of a nice pair of Mission Speakers with a pencil. How or why I will never know . A...

Usless but interesting ....how many of you old timers started with original Large Advents?
Like you offered in the subject line Interesting but useless! . Brings back a ton of fine memories . Although I went with the JBL 26's my best friend in the music world choose the large Advents . The 100' were to pricey even though they were my fi... 
$3000 stand mounted speakers?

Atma-sphere Updates
Wow just saw this thread . Ralph and Atma-Sphere have been nothing but professional and insightful in their activities on A-GON. Someone is definitely mistaken about the company and their dedicated employees. 
Need under $1500 preamp for my system
Don’t overlook a used  Atma-sphere UV-1 .  ~ $1250 It will warm up your SS amp . It is Simple and clean - oddly cool as well.

Which belt-driven table to play Rock vinyl?
I recently upgraded as well. Similar thoughts to your described needs  and also in the same budget. I do listen to a lot of Jazz Fusion as well as Classic Rock . However,  there is no heavy metal or rap in my collection.I really wanted to go VPI a... 
Congratulations Atmasphere!
Congratulations Ralph . We all look forward to hearing more in the near future .  
Has anyone seen this? A really beautiful turntable
"visually enhances the experience of listening"Sometimes I just close my eyes and listen - and get lost in the music. 
Budget Tube Amp (newbie)
Don’t throw out the ST-70 idea just yet . I loved them as well in the 70’s when a couple of college friends had them and I didn’t. There are a number of good options mentioned above for both Tubes Amps and Tube Integrated. I decided on a used Ultr...
