Ten audiophile commandments
Noble100, I like your last one. On the other hand, someone else washing you by licking should be permitted. To lower the waterbill. 
To SME or not to SME?
I suggest you not buy anything expensive on impulse. It is possible that even the tables compared to which SME is junk would not satisfy it. 
Can bad LPs damage good cartridges?
Rega said it? I like them already. I said it here too. Yes, first use the stylus and then do the regular cleaning. Just remember to clean the stylus after that.

I think there would. Anyway, I prefer Wish You Were Here.

Well, Machine Head was probably not as influential as DSOTM, I agree.

A true believer
Elizabeth, it is precisely because of your distorted philosophy that you do not have $100k for stereo. Nor do you really need them since you wouldn't hear most of what that system would be capable of. But you are very stubborn and keep pushing thi...

No one paid attention so far that that person had spent $4k on amplification and $7.7k on digital. Now that's bullshit. Speakers are $10.5k so amplification should be close enough to that.

Long XLR's: PAD Venustas versus Mogami
Boston Audio makes graphite/steel tune blocks to be used under spiked speakers. Anyone tried this? 
Do you ever doubt you ears ?
When life is unlistenable and you are old for it to come around, minor waiting will not make things worse.

Lewn, what makes you think that you think outside the box, just a different box? 
Long XLR's: PAD Venustas versus Mogami
Next time "refuse that" and you won't have to appologize.I have another Purist cable that once was full and now empty. With everything else remaining the same, the sound is worse in every respect.Also, some people on this forum appear to be unable... 
Long XLR's: PAD Venustas versus Mogami
I can confirm that fluid in PAD cables makes a difference. I had Maximus interconnect that was 2/3 empty, sent it to Purist, got it back refilled, and now it sounds better. They cleaned the connectors too, and possibly did something else as well -... 
stacking components without leaving marks
Elizabeth, this is not that simple. You forgot vibration. Rack can make it better or worse. I experimented a little with various feet and cones. So on the bottom of my "stack rack" is a MDF platform, soon to be replaced with something else when I ...
