Vpi 19mkIV or linn sondek 12
Talk to dealer/member larry (hwdsound), he's been selling and modifying VPI turntables for 20 years. As they have no suspension you can try things like sand-filled bases and corian arm-boards and complete top plates. The separate arm-board also ma... 
music you cant live without
The re-mastered "Deja Vu" CD really is great! And Bebel Gilberto "tantotempo" likewise. Brasilian Portugese has to be the sexiest language on the planet. She could be ordering take out for all I know and it still gives me a semi.

Best 2 ch. speaker placement algorithm.
...continued from Silver Lace Revisited: Out went the adjacent wall HT setup, love seat and coffee table. Did the math from the Cardas site and marked the carpet with masking tape; transferred the measurements from a ruler to the tape with the bou... 
HG Silver Lace Revisited
There are some speaker placement threads and I'm going to take it over there, but I checked phase, the SG's are used and played here > 2 weeks. I took out the vibrapods under the Cambridge CDP, worse, put'm back with 1 book and then 2 on top, g... 
HG Silver Lace Revisited
Silver Lace is all that. BUT, since I replaced Silver Solution with it, the soundstage is impossible to dial in. On most recordings, no matter where I position the speakers, the image has moved back in plane with them and some defining instrument ...

LPs - display/storage etc ideas
You have the red sports coat and the white pants, Dave? I think that's called a "full Cleveland". 
LPs - display/storage etc ideas
A couple of homes, and wives ago, I built a 3/4" plywood box 15"highX12"deepXthe entire 15 foot length of the wall behind the speakers at eye level. 3/4" back bolted to the studs and a divider every 24" kept it from sagging. Very convenient with t... 
Electrostat Speakers with sub. Finally
There's a pair, or was, of 2+2's here which I think is 2 1+1's conjoined (is that a word?) Supposed to have better bass but not as good imaging as the singles. I used to run 1+1's with a Bedini 25/25 which wasn't bad. But the best bass I ever hear... 
Paris Hi Fi shops
If you want to be treated well in Paris, wear jeans and carry a backpack. The rational frenchman is supposed to be a little carzy when young, to get it out of his system and, consequently, the French are quite indulgent toward their youth. Correct... 
How can power cords make a difference?
