Thanks for posting the question. I have been watching these threads and bookmarking for my own info. Maybe we can get the down & dirty quick version, if there is such a thing. Looks like it will give us a new reason to procure more audio equip... 
Shelter 501 MkII or Grado Sonata?
I had originally purchased a Grado Platinum, high output version which Grado lists on their website on the same product line. I dont know if yours is the high or low output as Grados descriptions are vague at best. I ended up with the Shelter and ... 
Technics SL-1200MK2 or MK5
For some listeners/musicians the pitch device helps out quite a bit if you like to learn riffs. Otherwise it is a giant PIA to change the tuning of your instrument for each album or song. So many songs are recorded a smidgeon off pitch for one rea... 
If money were no object, what would be in your rig
How about the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders? They could sing like Lucille Ball and I wouldnt say squat.Oh yeah, and some Eagleston Savoy speakers in granite finish, Krell FPB700mcx and assorted other nice-a-tees. All wrapped in a nice big specialy b...

Why did I get married?

Mofimadness: Once the pad wears out, you can send it in or about $6-$7 to have it repadded.Where can you have this done? Also, I bought a new Discwasher (mine is 20+ years old) and it came with brown felt. I could not see the dust on the brown fel... 
B/Ray players, do they all boot up slow?
Thanks to all. Shouldn't be to tough of a sell.-John 
B/Ray players, do they all boot up slow?
Thats what I was afraid of. Ya see, I was hoping for "Buy an Oppo. It'll boot up faster than greased lightening". Then I could show the Mrs, this thread and I'd be on my way to some new equipment. There is still time....-John 
Krell KSA 300S or FPB 300?
I owned the KSA200S & now own a FPB300cx. I feel the opposite of the above opinions, but not by much. The FPB300 is definatly built better and being newer is the one I would recommend. I also believe the FPB version is a little bit "darker" so... 
Kudos to Audio Research
It seems some are missing the original point of the post. The amp owner is giving praise for great product support from the mfg. This stuff is electronics and yes "sh** happens". With all the bagging that we've seen on this site in regards to bad ...
