| Linn LP12......That good?? Yes. It's that good. I have had my Linn LP12 with Ekos tonearm, Arkiv cartridge, and Lingo power supply for 10 years now. I wouldn't think of trading in for anything different. I recently traded up to the ARC Reference Phono preamp. I continue to ... | |

| What is the best iPod base? Thanks for all the good advice. I ended up getting the JBL On Stage. While it is far from high end, it does cover up the sound of my huffing and puffing as I work out. Which is what I wanted it for in the first place. Actually, a neat little bit o... | |

| Thiel Powerpoints for front speakers? I am using Thiel Powerpoints as the side speakers in my surrouund setup. I spoke to my Thiel dealer (Nicholson's Hi Fi in Nashville) because I originally planned to do just what you are doing. They advised strongly against it as the sound would li... | |
| What do you NEVER want to hear again??? The Howard Dean scream. | |
| audio and photography parallels?? Perhaps our friends at Audiogon recognize this parallel as well. Maybe that's why there is this internet site called Photogon... If you haven't already, check it out. | |
| I'm almost too embarrassed to ask, but..... I have my own little test. It is as embarassing to me as perhaps your question is to you... but it works.Pop in a cd of orchestral music. Say, Beethoven's 5th. As you face the speakers, if the violins can be heard coming from the speaker on your l... | |
