| LS26 in route, LP12 Gone what Table under 3000 Theo,The Linn Linto and Lyra are excellent products for the money and will shine with quality upstream components. I know you set your limit at $3000, but I would consider stretching to $3250 for a Galibier Serac. You get a significant part of the... | |
| Who's your guitar daddy now? I had the pleasure of hearing Bill Frisell and Russell Malone at the Triple Door last week. Only the third time they had appeared together and completely different styles but their individual brilliance was evident. Better yet they were able to us... | |

Over the years, I dutifully did all of ... | |
| lavish with the fluids - walker / loricraft Doug,The guide wire has a soft, flexible tip so that I was able to guide it through the entire length of the tubing (from back to front) through the nozzle. I agree that much like atherosclerotic plaque, debris build up tends to occur at the sharp... | |
| Bruce at The Super Bowl.... Speaking of fat slices of Americana did you notice that it's "big Steve" instead of "Little Steven"? | |
| Raven One Owners - Last Table? Kenny,Again congratulations on your recent purchases. Please keep us updated with your impressions. I am also interested in your thoughts regarding the Shilabe cartridge as I am considering the mono version for a dedicated mono arm/cartridge setup... | |

| Al Stiefel of RMAF Has Passed Away I only had the pleasure of chatting briefly with Al at last year's RMAF. The news makes me think of all of the people from around the country I've met at RMAF and the friendships I've made. In fact when I fly clear across the country next month, I... | |
