Best way to sell a record collection
it's pretty painful to list them and mail them one by one at the post office. When I realize I won't listen to an album again, I take it to my local record shop. (Usually 10 at a time.) He would pay me half of what he would then sell it for.   
How you know your system is improving?
I am a good example of changing things and many times not improving anything, Part of the process, I guess. One needs the skills, the funds and the time to make meaningful improvements. Maybe that's why the majority in this hobby is people with ti... 
Stereophile review of the $30,000 tekton speakers
@newfzx7 if you watch Erin's video, he shows all the correspondence between them. So yes, I have read and watched the facebook posts, emails, discussions as they have been published without redaction and there is nothing more to the puzzle.  Ther...

Speakers, floor standing or Bookshelfs
sounds like you have a pair a subs and 2 floorstanders? My 2 cents: be in a small room, you would be better off with bookshelf speakers. With many ifs and buts as there are so many variables.  
Looking for advise and recommendations on a nice record cleaner.
I go to my neighborhood audio store where they charge 50 cents for cleaning a record. It would take 400 records to break even and I probably have less than a 100 now. And as Kurt Vonnegut said about a hundred envelopes....  
Music first or sound first?
my daughter would listen to music on her iphone. All the time. One day I had enough, I had to set her up with a decent beginner/vintage system. She hasn't turned on the iPhone since, other than to stream.
