Help: WPC for my speakers
I don't know your speaker or amp. Based on the fact it's an 88db, 4ohm speaker, I would guess you are underpowered. 
Record Sleeve Recommendation
I like the MoFi's alot. After reading this, I went ahead and ordered the Audiophile ones from Sleeve City. I think they were like 20 bucks for 50, which to me is worth it. The thing I didn't like was the 10 bucks for shipping on a 20 dollar order. 
Audioquest vs Hunt EDA Mk6 record brushes
Thought I would rekindle this thread. After brushing w/ my Hunt brush, I get that line of dust Opalchip refers to. I have seen someone use the blue lint roller type tool, but I am not a big fan. Don't like the idea of possible residue left from th... 
Best speakers for $1500 or less?
I recently listened to Spendor and Dynaudio. Don't forget about Spendor, very nice speaker. I have the small S3/5 in small 11 X 12 space, and they are excellent. The one I heard at the store was a 3/1 R2, just a little bigger than mine. Very nice ... 
US dealer for Vitus
Last time I checked, Stanton Sound and Vision in NY. 
Line Magnetic Audio 219IA – Any Owners?
I have the 211ia. Nothing but positives here too. Really nice unit. I am using SED Winged C EL34's w/ Mullard and Tungsol New production for the 12ax7/12au7. I almost don't want to listen to the 218ia, in fear I will have to have it. It's the 210i... 
phono stage for VPI Traveler w/ 2m blue
Quasar is a nice sounding unit. It moves toward the warmer side of the SS spectrum. I think it may be best suited to medium .4 ish carts. Can't go wrong IMO. 
Heed Quasar or Jasmine Audio phono stage?
I am also using a Quasar, in a second system. Pergaps not quite the dimensionality as some tubes units, but I agree with you. I am thinking it likes to see more of a medium output MC though. I am running a 0.3mv, and want to try a a 0.5 ish on it. 
Badfinger, perfect end for Breaking Bad
The finale had more than 10 million viewers. I believe the Sopranos had 13 Million. The first thing I did after the show was You Tube the song. One things for sure, Bryan Cranston nailed that role!

How about the size of the room, as far as larger speakers go. 
Racks: Box Funriture vs Sistrum
I apologize. That was just what I had heard somewhere. I owned one, and thought it was excellent. It offers good flexibility too. I added one of their top shelves for my TT.Robert is a great guy, if he is still involved. I am a bit out of touch, s... 
Racks: Box Funriture vs Sistrum
The Sistrum may not be available any longer NEW. 
$9000 speaker Orangutan or speaker + amplifier
"The best amps I have heard on the Orangutan's were a small Shindo amp, by a long way. I suspect that if you buy the Orangutans you will need to try amplifiers before buying, otherwise you will be risking matching issues and may be extremely disap... 
LM audio or LEBEN help
My point was only this. Not everyone has the chance to go to a dealers, and hear for themselves. That said, even if he does, there's nothing wrong with asking the opinions of others. I just heard the Leben 300CX on Spendors. It was my first time h...

"Or, how about listening for yourself and making up your own mind rather than being dictated to by others...?"Do you have any knowledge as to where Bolero32 is located ?Cheers -Don
