Wall mount rack options for all components
Good idea, but the thing that I think is causing the problem is the fact that the laminate floats on a thin layer of foam. Even above the supported joists, it "gives" just a little. I was wondering, though, the industrial strength slotted wall sta... 
Wall mount rack options for all components
Thanks for the ideas.Mre2007: I wish i was on a slab. IT is crawl space, however.THe Target Wall Racks look perfect, except for the depth.My Rogue Tempest needs more than 16 inches of depth for cables. If I could find something like the target, bu... 
Cary SLI 80 - anthing better for the same price?
I think the Rogue Audio Tempest is as good (but cheaper) and I actually preferred the Rogue in my longwinded shootout (which might be in the archives) if you search Tempest or SLI 80.good luck. 
Best cartridge match for a Michell Techoarm?
good luck with the responses.I was sniffing around this arm over a year ago, with little to no information out there to help me I have one, and I love it. Sorry to say that I've only used it with an Aurum Beta S Wood Body Cart from Clearaudio, whi... 
Rogue Tempest vs Tempest II- comparisons?
anyone else?Surely someone has something to say about the new Tempest? 
Which turntable should I buy?
You could buy a Michell Tecnodec w RB 250 AND a GSP Audio Era Gold MK 5 phono preamp for $2500- most often overlooked, and ESSENTIAL to good analog is the phono pre. SPEND SOME $$ HERE, and you'll thank yourself later.

Amp suggestions for audiophile virgin
tubes. 
Newbi seeking advise - why tubed pre-amp?
However, even rock music sounds great with a tube system with a little bit of cojones.I started in the same place about 8 years ago. I had a Parasound amp running off of a Sony ES receiver. I got that Sony out and put a Conrad Johnson PV-10AL in t... 
Tonearm - Incognito VS Origin Live
I know, I've read most of the posts (that's a TON)and I have no excuse...I've been baaad. 
Tonearm - Incognito VS Origin Live
Twl, I'm familiar with your tweak, but for some reason, I just haven't gotten around to it. I will give it a try, however, as it appears to result in no damage to the arm, and to be 100% reversible if need be present. 
Tonearm - Incognito VS Origin Live
I have a Tecnodec, RB 250 with Michell Tecnoweight, and Clearaudio Aurum Beta S wood-body cartridge. I have often wondered what to do re: rewire. I was leaning toward the Incognito rewire, but I just read the above statements, and they gave me pau... 
Recent Ambient/Electronica?
MogwaiI heard Rock Action, on vinyl- pretty good.Astralwerks has reissued some ENo, and I think it's available on import SACD 
What is the best phono preamp you have heard?
Anyone listened to the Graham Slee Era Gold Mk. 5? 
Lots of Rogue Audio M120 mono blocks
Perhaps because the 150s, which have replaced the 120s, are now available.
