Replacement arm for my Micro Seiki DD24?
That would be nice, but I haven't seen any available. 
DIY Ribbon Tweeter build question....
Thanks All, I did try them and I'm going to pass on the entire idea. They did bring in some extra high end, but it lost a lot of warmth and was a bit annoying after a while. I guess the Omega's are fine just the way they are - alone.

6" paper twin-cone Fostex FE 167E with a frequency response at 50-20KHz & a sensitivity of 95dB at 8 ohms.Thanks John. 
I'm convinced: my Power Conditioner was ruining...
I agree that a dedicated line may be a good idea -- I have one with 10 guage run straight to a 20amp fuse, but as Timztunz points out it's only as good as the power coming into the house -*to and extent*.So what of the breaker? It's only a trip sw...

I think my post messed up the HTML. I meant to say A < B < C. Let me see if I can fix this by doing this: Better?

Degaussed my system? Now I'm lost. All I know is that with everything plugged in to the Monster it sounds like "A", with the Amp in the APC and everything else in the Monster it sounds like "B", and with everything in the APC it sounds like "C". I...

A lost favorite. Can you help me identify the LP?
Thanks Jax2. It's neither, but at least I'm not crazy and they did do a spanish Tears. I also remember that it had Fortune Teller on it. It may well be that Letter was indeed Memo.I'm also thinking that Con le Mie Lagrime Cosi was the first song o... 
Speaker spikes on concrete or wood floor best?
Great question and one that I never gave much thought to. My speaker/stands came with spike so I've always used them. First on wood and now on tile covering concrete.May I rephrase the question to help the larger audience: If you have concrete flo... 
Lessloss on power conditioners/dedicated lines?
I think I'd skip LessLoss - some things may work but they make way too many gimmicks. Look at this:http://www.lessloss.com/blackbody-p-200.html 
Best place in the system for a good PC?
Thanks again BlindJim. My thoughts mirror your post - which of course makes me like them even more. I will try a Zu loom.Laying awake last night after recovering from my Thanksgiving food coma I had a new thought which I will begin a new post for.... 
Best place in the system for a good PC?
To quote:"11-24-09: R_f_sayles...* The PC of choice is component specific and is generally enhanced by perpetuating the grade and type thoughout the entire system loom...."This brings up a question that I'm sure may only have a hypothetical answer... 
Best place in the system for a good PC?
Thanks Blindjim et.al. I will take this all into consideration. If I notice differences in the two Zu cables I have coming, I will spend more time looking into which cables work well for me. 
Best place in the system for a good PC?
ABX is tough in my case. I'd like to compare and contrast mainly on my amp, but it's a tube system and by the time I warm up, listen to A, turn it off, cool it down, switch the cords, and power it on and let it warm up again... well, it'd have to ...
