New Springsteen Box: Opinions?
Note Springsteen fans---his concert from Agora Cleveland 1978 (Darkness tour) is available for download in hi res or cd on his website. Mastered by R Ludwig using the Plangent process. 
worst sounding great lps
I have a first pressing vinyl of Cat Stevens' Foreigner and it sounds great.

Audio Desk Record Cleaner-Anyone buy one yet
Hi Matt:Most of the time the record is dry enough to put back in the sleeve. On those occasions where there are a few drops on the record, I use pressed air or a microfiber cloth (like the kind used to clean eyeglasses) to remove them. Doesn't hap...

Great store. 
Wilson Alexia 20x15 Room
Your system with Alexias will sound fabulous. This is a very popular combination and for good reason. Wilson uses ARC among others in their listening room and ARC uses Wilson in theirs. I've used various Wilsons (Sophias, Watt Puppys Sashas) with ... 
Review: Lampizator Level 5, Big 7, and the Amber DAC DA converter
Heard the Lamp 7 at the NY audio show. Don't think I've heard better at even twice the price, maybe different but not better. 
This might just be the end of brick and mortar
Bess at MD really knows his analog. I call him every now and then. Nick at Audio Connection really really knows his analog. I buy from Audio Connection if I am looking for something carried by both places, like my latest Dynavector cartridge. For ... 
Wilson Alexia 20x15 Room
I do not see any problem with those dimensions especially in light of the Alexia's adjustability. 
Lampizator DAC
Hi Juan:I heard a level 7 Lampizator at length at the NY audio show. To say I was impressed would be an understatement. IMHO, this ranked right up there with the best DCS stack, MSB stack, Esoteric stack, Reimyo, CH Precision, Zanden, Playback Des... 
Audio Desk Record Cleaner-Anyone buy one yet
I'm very happy with Audiodesk. I've also seen the Kl Audio which appears to be a well made machine as well with one nice little extra element of convenience that I can see (if I recollect correctly)---the ability to dry only. On the other hand, M... 
Your last concert was to see who and when?
Can't see Dylan enough over the last 20 years. Always a great band. Always different arrangements to songs. Sometimes his voice is nothing but a growl, but, even then, it's ok under the circumstances. 
What cables are you running with your ARC gear
Shunyata or Sainline Systems sound great in my system. Also Audioquest is a good choice as are, I'm sure, many others referred to in this thread. 
Harry Pearson
Very sad news. I always enjoyed his writing and his reviews. He writings (and no doubt personality) became a little crotchety in his old age, but it was an endearing crotchety. I always felt that he told it like he heard it. He brooked no bs. RIP ... 
R. I. P. Jack Bruce
He will be missed.
