What Turntable and Why .........
the nottingham dias. a reference table from a company that is a leader in analogue technology and reliablity. 
What is the best speaker that match with MC2000
pick one you like..the mac2000 will drive most anything. 
Small bookshelfs that reach 42 hz
the test specs and the reality on loudspeakers are truly different things....just go by the way they sound to you, in your room. 
Spare change on a speaker cabinet
totem beaks are sold to do the same thing....only they are more than 37 cents. 
Helping European Friend Avoid Bose Speakers
'no good deed goes unpunished'.....let him figure it out and pursue.....people who want a dog, have a dog....hi fi is the same thing. 
Mordaunt Short speakers . Tri-wire vs Single wire
use any of the binding posts for single wire. tri or bi wire has its fans, but a good wire and solid connection is fine. 
B&w 808 Vs Newer designs
its still good enough to be a destination speaker....and so big you won't want to move it out either. a real find. 
B&w 808 Vs Newer designs
a great speaker. not quite as detailed (read warmer)as the later designs, but certainly a classic. like older kef,rogers,wharfedale, and imf models, they have their fans. very, very scarce. 
Have you seen Eric Clapton at his best?
as far as versatility...the last, great john cippolina once said 'any guitarist who needs to play more than 3 chords, hasn't found the right 3.....this from a 'guitar god' 
vdh vs.tara labs
i have a houseful of vdh, but tara (in this case) is a better product...two words. bass control....great speakers!!! 
Quirky British Audio
the active atc's sound even better. the little naim can crank too for its rated power. 
Bookshelf speakers $2500 or less
gradient prelude. 
Replacing Sophia Baby with Rogue Cronus worth it?
the rogue is a classic.....but the wantees will go away if you distract yourself with other vices. 
Best CD Player under $1200
the arcam and the cambridge are both excellent. 
Your experience:a cdp that gets best of lesser cds
cd players really won't change or forgive a bad recording, but speakers will still have the biggest influence in the way music sounds. most well engineered speakers make most recorded music enjoyable. more and more current or re-issued cd's are so...
