Rare Music?
One of my more enjoyable albums is Spooky Tooth "The Mirror" I have the LP and CD, try to find the record if you can. Why these guys were a one-album wonder I'll never understand. While you're at it, see if you can hunt down a copy of Frank Zappa'... 
Speaker placement at dealers
Miles and miles, ain't that right. I live in Montreal, you're in Chicago. Right now, I'm in San Jose and hoping to get home tomorrow (typhoon hitting the left coast shortly). I'll be in Chicago in January, love to hear your rig!

Sean,I have a dealer just like that. Met him when I was 12 years old. Patient, caring....29 years later he's still in business and I still frequent his store. Damn him, I got hooked cuz of him! I don't know whether to love him or hate him.

I spent months trying to get my set-up right, but was well worth the time and effort (electrostatics are finicky beasts). You should be able to try any component you're serious about buying in your home set up. And once it meets your needs, keep t... 
Why I am Selling
I have an advanced form of ADD and I became bored with it after 6 minutes. What do you expect, the damned thing is digital! 
Ever Have One Of Those Evenings?
Look at the bright side, no one got hurt, right? I acquired a German Sheppard last year, he was chasing my other dog all over the house, terrorizing the mutt. I lay on the floor laughing and enjoying the show, until he knocked one of my speakers o... 
No good new music?
I've bought plenty, not sure the exact number but probably around the same as you. If you want the best of this year, the new Red Hot Chili Pepper's CD and the Bowie release are well worth owning! 
Biggest Sound in the Littliest Box
Hard to find anything smaller that the Gallo Micro's. A fellow 'phile suggested changing the stock wire in the speakers to Cardas and they really shine! You'll need a sub to enjoy these, worth considering. 
Can asking price be changed after offer is made?
Sounds to me like he got several offers and started thinking he asked too low a price for his stand; since he got several offers, in his mind, the market will bear more than the original asking price for it. He should auction off items when he's n... 
Best way s to clean CD's? Any updates?
My kids sometimes "borrow" CD's from me and I always have to clean'em up when I finally get them back. When required I use a bit of dishsoap and wash'em carefully under the faucet. Dry gently with a piece of paper towel and they are clean. Of cour... 
Kyocera CDP owners, remote control?
Sean,Moneybuzz will not sell to Canadians, although he well sell to anyone else. Evidently he has had three Canadian buyers bounce cheques on him, but in checking out my feedback is willing to make an exception and sell to me. I may contact him, b...

Systemdex IIx. .. need cartridge recommendation
I had the same 'table or a while and used a Grado Black pickup with a felt mat. All in all it was enjoyable and the cost of the pickup was in keeping with the 'table/arm. 
Your ONE all time favorite love song?
"The Greatest Discovery" Elton John, awesome live version on the "Live in Australia" record. Essentially the song is about a young child meeting his/her sibling for the first time. Can't beat that. 
From a Newbie - How long should I wait?
You just never know with some people. A gent was advertising something here on the 'Gon, I dropped him an email telling him I would take the item at his asking price (and I would pick up the shipping of course). Nothing. Not a word back from him b...
