Fraud alert Fair warning to Audiogoners.
Glreno,You have now satisfied 95% of my concerns about the vagueness of the allegations. You have to admit, a DA would have laughed at your report of facts in your first posting on this thread. I would admit that a DA would take the facts in your ... 
Fraud alert Fair warning to Audiogoners.
Glreno,Can you point to specific ads on Ebay? How do you know they are people of Arabic descent if they use Jewish or Anglo surnames? For that matter, how do you know what surnames they use, since Ebay doesn't release this information?I am concern... 
Can hear TV or Radio station via Phono stage ???
Suretyguy, try the Linn Linto. It cleaned up all the RF noise and sounds great. 
Can hear TV or Radio station via Phono stage ???
Before you spend money on any cure, see if you can try it first. I had a serious problem with RF noise and the Audioquest RF Stoppers were a total waste. Most of the other suggestions seemed to help but the problem, as well as the cure was transie... 
Any scientific data on cable burn-in?
I understand Nordost is selling its own cable cooker. But if they really believed it works, why not just cook all their cables as part of the production process before sending them to the dealer? The per unit cost of cooking a cable would be much ... 
Stay away from UPS. Never use UPS.
Hey vinyl guy, I feel your pain. What was the title? Maybe we could keep our eyes open for another one on the market.

Aliu,No, you don't have a taste problem or a hearing problem. In my experience, I was perfectly happy with every cd I listened to on my relatively inexpesive stereo setup. Then I upgraded. At first, I really didn't hear a difference and wondered i... 
help guy backs out of a sale after m.o. is iss
You can't stop payment on a money order - that's why they are like cash. If you get your money back, give him a negative feedback and be happy it wasn't worse. 
Good phono amp, low noise, not too expencive?
Is there an echo in here? there is another thread that is virtually identical to this one. The Plinius Jarrah will crush the Monolithic! 
Suggestions For Phono Preamp....
The Plinius Jarrah is a great preamp. It got a great review in a recent TAS. It also sounds great! 
LPs to .WAVs: 24/96 or 24/192 ?, USB drive OK ?
Check out the Lynx Two card which is marketed by HHB. Go to www.hhbusa.com for info. It will do 192Khz.As to whether it's worth it, I slightly disagree with the above post. Hard disk space is cheap. Yes, it will take twice as much space, but eithe... 
40hz ratings/speaker response
Many would make a good argument that these speaker ratings are largely meaningless. But assuming they are at all meaningful, a rating will include a low end frequency and a tolerance. So it won't just say "40hz", but instead, it will say "40hz +/-...
