What is your front end ?
98% LP's/2% CD's into a Pioneer SX-1250 into Magnepan 1.7i  
Is there a cheaper alternative to this:
"$174.99 each" "You can buy two for just $349.98!" What a deal - the price of two is exactly double the price of one.  Maybe if you buy 4 you can get the giveaway price of $699.96!  
Where can I get a set of Harmonic Technology pro 11 speaker cables re terminated?
Douglas Connection     
ultrasound record cleaning machine damaged my records
I'll stick with my SpinClean, thank you.  
looking to replace Fyne speaker jumper cable
Anticables Level 5 jumpers.  Silver AND gold.  
When Was The Audio Golden Age?
My late 70's Pioneer SX-1250/Denon DP59L Turntable/Denon DL-103R/Magnepan 1.7i are good enough for me.  Every day is "golden".  
How often, and how, do you clean your stylus?
Before every side with a Henry & Tosh TS-60 gel cleaner followed by LAST stylus treatment.  LAST stylus cleaner once per week.  All records (including new) cleaned in a SpinClean.  Never had any issues.  
The receiver was my intro to HiFi! What say you?
Bought a Pioneer SX-1250 back in 1979 while I was in grad school.  Still have it and listen to it every day.  Had a complete restoration done on it about 8 years ago. I also have the same Denon DP-59L turntable bought around the same time, also re... 
Is there any fan of Mettalica here?
I have always loved Metallica.  Until "Death Magnetic" came out.  I found it unlistenable.  I had my system adjusted to my usual volume setting and found myself continually getting up and turning the volume down further and further. The extreme co... 
Turntable prices. Is my mind going?
Reminds me of the old, "What's the difference between a $2 dollar cigar and a $10 cigar?"  Answer:  $8 dollars.  
Are there other people like me ? Amazed by their low cost system :)
Restored Pioneer SX-1250, Denon DP-59L turntable, Denon DL-103R/Musikraft Lithium headshell, Magnepan 1.7i speakers, Anticables throughout.  Total investment about $6,500.  Completely satisfying to my 70 year old ears.  
Burn your power cables in PROPERLY with Haglabs Frycorder
These will never sell many at that price.  If they increased the price is to $27,000 they'll have to ramp up production to a 24/7 operation.  
recommend PRAT Integrated amplifiers (not Naim)
What the heck is a "PRAT"?    
Maggies and subwoofer integration
I use a Rolls SX45 crossover.  Preamp out from my Pioneer SX-1250 goes to SX45.  Hi pass from SX-45 back to Power amp in on the Pioneer.  Low pass go to a pair of REL subs.  Speakers are Magnepan 1.7i.  I set the cutoff around 100 Hz.  The Rolls h... 
What happens when the stylus tip wears out on a $12,000 cartridge?
Thank you for that mulveling.  Very interesting.  I asked because when Stereophile magazine reviews a cartridge they never really provide any "afterlife" info regarding what restoration services a manufacturer may or may not offer.
