Madrigal is Closed
If it's true,to hell with them.There are better companies. 
I need a female jazz vocalist. No Krall, No Norah
How about something different? And not jazz.Try Sussan Deyhim-Madman Of God- and Azam Ali,this year's album.Also,Rasa-Devotion-one of the most sensual voices I've ever heard;the name of the singer is Kim Waters.No one mentioned Elizabeth Frazer,Co... 
Audiopoints or Walker tuning kit under a turntable
Thank you all.Twl,problem is that I don't have a dedicated turntable stand.I figure that putting a turntable on that Sistrum thing or just on 3 Audiopoints and keep it on the floor will be better than using a cheap rack with other pieces of equipm... 
Audiopoints or Walker tuning kit under a turntable
So, I just put this platform on the floor and the bloody table on top of it, right? 
Cleaning Records
Water with soap is not enough for dirty or new records.Unless you want to use,say,Disc Doctor or Last cleaning fluids and brushes,I suggest a mixture of 25% of alcohol and 75% of water,preferably distilled.But I would not use it myself for rare an... 
SPeakers 90% of your sound
TWL,well put.On the subject.I would say 40% speakers,30% analog front end,10% room,20% the rest.I don't mean prices.Sometimes it is necessary to use $10000.00 amp.to make the $3500.00 speakers really sing.Serious room treatment is the last step no... 
How do you get past the pops and hiss of LPs?
Even at its best vinyl may give you a few ticks and pops from time to time-static.It cannot be as quiet as digital either. How do we get past? We just do.Not an issue at all. 
Are Audio Dealers Missing the Boat?
Another point is that dealing with us,audiophiles,is a real pain.We are such a bunch of arrogant mothers.Pardon my French. 
Are Audio Dealers Missing the Boat?
Well, it all comes down to the reputation of the dealers and the fees they would charge.They should also be able to pick up the items from sellers, pack them well,ship them and deal with all claims.Most dealers should learn how to earn the money,n... 
How dose your plinth sound?
Why not use ironwood? Very hard to work with but can be possibly better than cocobolo. 
Best acoustic -natural instruments CD's
Forgot to mention another great acoustic album,again digitally recorded: Al Di Meola-Heart Of The Immigrants-.Excellent quality and an unusual very special music.I saw two Dead Can Dance albums on amazon.co.uk;there are also a few now on ebay,but ... 
Best acoustic -natural instruments CD's
Three esoteric albums, digitally recorded,but the quality is quite good:Rasa-Devotion-;Sussan Deyhim-Madman Of God-;Vas-In The Garden Of Souls-.I like them all a lot. 
Which artists do you just not get?
Sean,The Inner Mounting Flame and Visions Of The Emerald Beyond are,I think,the two best Mahavishnu albums.Quality of recording is not exactly good,especially of the former.As usual,UK or Dutch pressings are much better;never heard Japanese.Birds ... 
Which artists do you just not get?
Yeah, country music is really one very long song:"my wife is gone, my truck is broke, all cows died and that's about all".But there is certain consistency and calm in that.You just have to put your mind in the right gear, than it is managable. 
Why do you listen music?
Mike,fancy Akvarium and Nautilus Pompilius?
