Two amps to one speaker
Here's a very recent thread with some suggestionshttps://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/a-rookie-question-re-two-amps-one-pair-of-speakers 
B&W Speaker Score!
Dastro - You undoubtedly got a great deal on those speakers but I'm really perplexed as to why they are sounding so bad for you.  I'm very familiar with the 802s so based on your assessment I immediately suspected that they were being underpowered... 
Recording Studio sound Vs. Audiophile system
Been pondering most of the day as to whether or not I could add any value to this thread.Perhaps not but I can offer a perspective and I'll try to keep it as quick as I can.1) I've been a musician for about 35 years and have setup, owned and used ... 
Table upgrade: SOTA Comet? or ?
Larseand - I've been back into Vinyl for about 10 years now and have tried a lot of "budget" gear.  One of my first "nice" tables came with a BP2 cart and while it probably sounded a bit better than any vinyl setup I'd ever owned before, having up... 
Ideal Screen Size for Theater? 2.35:1 or 16:9?
Auxinput clearly knows his stuff so this is more a question than a recommendation from me, but I was thinking..  I have a 100" screen and 1080p projector that I bought for a project a couple years ago.  While it's OK, the one thing that pops into ... 
Speaker recommendation for married couple
I like Audiogon forums; it’s a great forum where fellow enthusiasts can talk and share there experience and seek the insights of others with the same passion. And although I show a limited post count and limited member lifespan, I’ve been around h... 
Surge protection for amps?
Asahitoro - I like the whole-house solution but having something in between is also an option.  Having been a Furman user for years (music studio, live performance) I went looking for something different recently and discovered the ART PS Pro.http...

Erik - At that point I think it would be cheaper to simply book the bands of my choosing for an  in-home performance :) 
Tuner tragedy!
Thanks for providing your thoughts on the Rush reissue - I was really hoping that someone had heard it.  I have all the original LPs from back in the day and love them but I was most interested in the new reissue for no other reason than 2112 was ... 
Tuner tragedy!
I'm almost positive that it's a polyurethane string and if you want to do it "correctly" take the old one into a fabric store and they'll set you up with a perfect replacement.  If you go with the dental floss, I actually think that the waxed vers... 
Tuner tragedy!
LOL!!!Well played :)Greg 
Tuner tragedy!
Sorry about your tuner but don't despair; it's actually a straight forward DIY fix that I've done before a few times.  The easiest solution (which might sound crazy) is if you can, simply superglue the ends of the broken string together and then r... 
Has anyone considered rebuying a speaker you once owned??
After literally decades of searching for the perfect speakers it finally occurred to me that there is no such thing.  As such, I let logic play a role in my speaker selection and decided that what I would pursue would be the same speakers that wer...

Hey Erik - It's interesting that you started this thread, as I just saw the MBL's on HIM yesterday. I then remembered that when I purchased my current main speakers from a fellow A-Goner several years ago that he had a pair of MBL's set up in his ... 
Is your cartridge toast...maybe yes, maybe no??
Playing a test record every couple of months is also a good practice (I use Hi-Fi News).  It's a good reference point as to the condition of the cartridge and the alignment over time.  Generally I thought those records were useless beyond an initi...
