Isolation platform for non suspended turntable?
BTW, only cost me 50 bucks. $25 for the plexiglass and $25 for the vibrapods. 
Isolation platform for non suspended turntable?
Bob, I could never float that past the wife. Seriously low WAF. I've got a 1/2 piece of plexiglass sitting on some vibrapods. This set up eliminated a ton of feedback I was getting. My "rack" is a decorative wall unit and is fairly unstable. Witho... 
favorite SOPRANO?
Drea DeMatteo, ooooh yeah. 
speakers for krell kav 400 ix
It depends on what type of music reproduction you like. IMO this unit is detailed, clear and a little cold sounding. The antithesis to a warm sounding amp or a tube amp. Try to find a speaker that complements this sound or maybe a warmer speaker t...

My Odyssey Stratos amp (long gone) was a beast. Damn thing was 2 feet deep. Add cables to that, wasn't easy situating the thing. When powered on, the Odyssey blue front light made a great night light though.

Joe Farrell. Big in the 60's and 70's. Recorded a bunch of times w/ Chick Corea. 
krell kav 300il - what are your thoughts?
I agree w/ JMS's response, my KAV400xi seems to have boundless power. I haven't come close to clipping this amp or pushing it to its limits. However, the amp is about as un-tube like as SS gear can get. Accurate, but a bit cold with a sharp glass-...

The next player I purchase is the best for my money. 
Coldplay's "A Rush of Blood to the Head"
Gwyneth hmm....just how much is she wearing? 
Coldplay's "A Rush of Blood to the Head"
I just went to Acoustic Sounds to check out the album, it's friggin' 30 bucks! It's not worth that much to me. Now what.
