Two or More Subwoofers?
Wow, those are good options! I just recently got into multiple subs after using stereo subs for over 15 years. If you have the room and can keep the quality up, multiples have worked better for me, esp. in a smaller room. 
Chris Squire, Rest in Peace
I was a wanna-be musician at 15 when I saw the Anderson-Squire, Howe, Wakeman, Bruford YES when "Roundabout" was just making its mark.They played a taped "Firebird Suite" into the chime at the beginning of Roundabout and 3 minutes later, I was in ... 
overwhelmed by record rituals
VPI 16 and then 16.5 got me through over 25 years at this hobby. I moved to ultra-sonic about 3 months ago and wish I'd just stayed with an RMC of some sort. Ultra-sonic may be better but what a pain!Stick with a VPI 16.5. Simple, rugged, plenty o... 
3 applications for Jl audio subs crossovers?
I'd use them all to distribute your bass. I've been using stereo subs for years and would never go back to mono subs: lately, after reading about the Audiokenisis (sp?)"Swarm" with multiple, distributed subs, I've added two and have much better an... 
oppo 105d straightup
I'm using a server and Antelope DAC for CD and high-res storage, but needed a universal player that just does the job. The 105 serves that purpose. Second that "use the XLR's" comment. 
VPI, Graham, Koetsu advice please
I had a VPI TNT with a Graham and sold it for the same reasons. That said, I've never owned a Koetsu, so I can only say that what I've read would indicate you're probably getting far less than the Koetsu can offer with that set-up. Assuming your s... 
SUT Hum
No. I don't think so. I think you just create a ground loop. My tables and preamps work the same way: some on, some off. 
Is Vinyl Worth It
Having set up my 2nd (as in 1, 2) table for mono this week-end, I agree and would not really advise a friend to get into this, but with over 1500 albums carefully culled and thinned out over the years to listen to (and still buying)and way over 5 ... 
Tell us your worst audio dealer or mfr. experience.
I must say this in defense of Mr. Paravincini: maybe I haven't yet met the biggest asshole in the industry... 
Does alcohol impair appreciation of sound?
Not at a Lynard Skynard concert... 
Tell us your worst audio dealer or mfr. experience.
Sound by Singer. Carried Audio Valve, but when my amps needed repair, it took 3 phone calls just to get someone to answer my question about repair. Let's just say they were not interested in assisting me in any way. I had to find repair work on my... 
Art Audio - anyone know what's up?
Sorry for our mutual loss: I loved the HC Jota when I had one. I got rid of it some time ago because I got concerned that it used some proprietary parts and I heard things about the distribution, probably like you did. I didn't need another $KK bo... 
simaudio 740P VS Mark Levinson 326S
Thanks, nsgarch: I am glad someone is taking care of Levinson. It's nice gear and I hate to see what happened to it a few years ago. 
simaudio 740P VS Mark Levinson 326S
I hope Levinson stands behind its equipment better than it did when I owned several pieces. Their theory seemed to be like BMW s current thinking, "once it's out of warranty or we're not interested, forget that guy." I was left stranded with orpha... 
DIY silver speaker cable is great
If you can, try it without the terminations. No matter how good, there's no termination like no termination
