Subwoofer recommendation for Maggie 1.6 QR
I have been very pleased with the REL Storm. Plays very well to the Maggie's strengths. 
Are CD clubs a good deal?
I found it interesting the threads about signing up over and over. Columbia House has been trying to get me to cancel my membership and start all over. They know that the only time I ever buy any are when they have one of their "Buy one, get 2 fre... 
Flipping the LP over ...
A couple. Thankfully nothing rare or hideously expensive.But then, I've always been pretty fussy about how I handle my records. :o) 
Flipping the LP over ...
Ah yes! The infamous Linn Grip, Flip, and Drop. The more adept among us can do it with 3 fingers and within 1 revolution of the 'table. All without touching or scratching the surface of grooves. 
Static problem? Try this
What if you have electro-static speakers? :o) 
Anyone heard the Krell Showcase yet?
I have owned the Krell Showcase since August. I posted a review of it. My opinions now are even stronger than when I wrote the review. On movie soundtracks, it is somewhat better than the Lexicon DC-1 that it replaced. The video is eye popping. On...

Impressions of the Stones SACDs

ADDING TUBES TO HOME THEATER????
It's your money. But, most of the experts I've had any confidence in have argued for "timbral matching". That is, the amplification and the speakers should be similar or identical. I've heard, in my own systems, what can happen when you mix and ma... 
Fav Consecutive Albums by An Artist
Onhwy61, in that case please accept my apologies. Sometimes I'm a little dense. Great thread! 
Fav Consecutive Albums by An Artist
Onhwy61, I find your post highly objectionable. I don't know whether it was arrogance or ignorance which caused you to confuse your opinions with "fact".That quality which makes a particular album or group of albums "great" is highly subjective an...

I guess we don't have any Beatles fans here... :o)
