| Solid Maple vs Butcher Block FWIW- From Totem Forests on carpet over concrete (Totem uses this claw and ball arrangement instead of spikes), went to 2" thick Timbernation maple on heavy (18x18") Travertine tile under each Forest. Travertine directly on carpet. A definite impr... | |
| One artist, band, you keep coming back to Well, it's more than one if that's OK (even if not, I suppose)...Dylan, Steely Dan (+ any solo Becker or Fagen), Crowded House (+ solo Neil and/or Tim), & Wilco. These are musicians/bands whose next releasees I generally buy without audition. ... | |

Short of a high risk target like Fort Knox, GK seems like a no-brainer to me. Just kidding, of course. Far be it from me to encourage a... | |

I never followed sales when these LPs were first released so can't compare their numbers to ... | |
| What reviews do you trust if any? TNT Audio - FWIW. Also agree with those citing Stereo Mojo & Dagogo. | |
| KAB EV-1 users? I've been using the KAB EV-1 for a few years now. It was affordable and it works. Noticeable noise reduction on various LPs. I use a DIY water/alcohol/detergent mix for initial cleaning, then vacuum off. Finish w/steam and vacuum again. Repeat on ... | |
| Miles Davis "Kind of Blue" drove me insane almost ...and here I thought it was spit rattling around in Miles' trumpet. | |
| need suggestion for external CD ripping drive Folks- Anyone have experience with Plextor's "PlexEasy"CD wtiter? It does not require a PC. Curious if the write speed is too fast to improve on SQ from red book (though I realize that's not the only factor contributing to better sound on "ripped"... | |
