At Last Bach Really Hits the Spot
Most of Glenn Gould's recordings are wonderful, especially the early ones. Also check out Wanda Landowska- she is the matriarch of the historical performance movement and recorded some very interesting performances. 
At Last Bach Really Hits the Spot
There's so much... Check out his fugues. Many are absolutely amazing, and they revolutionized musical form. 
Mini Monitors - Dynaudio and JM Labs
You're right, my mistake. Strange you're having problems there. Sorry I can't offer better advice... 
Mini Monitors - Dynaudio and JM Labs
I'm not going to make any specific recommendations, but if you're worried about sweet spot size, why not consider something time/phase cohorent? None of the speakers you've mentioned are (though I think someone mentioned Green Mountain as a possib... 
Folk/Rock choices that are well recorded
You might take a look at Nickel Creek- some of it freaks me out with its "fusion-ness" but some is really great. 
Audio Clubs in the Area?
There is an audio clubs forum on this website... It's in the spot between PC audio and misc audio.

Help with this RB300
Thanks for the continued help, musicdoc and tobias.It seems that the hole in the old armboard was drilled at exactly 222mm from the spindle, as suggested by Rega. What luck! Now I just need to find some spacers, and I need to figure out how much h... 
Help with this RB300
Thanks for the advice guys. Musicdoc, the scolding is unecessary. I'm in rural Ohio, and audiogon is my best source of information. The old tonearm is barely functioning, and I needed to try something- this made the most sense. Tobias, thanks for ... 
Help with this RB300
Hi there,I'll try to post some detailed pictures of the old arm/table tonight. I asked on the forums a few weeks ago and was told that it would work if I got a spacer (still need to do that). I don't have the instructions or mounting template, whi... 
What do you think of my 25 laws of audio
Fascinating.Get some single driver speakers and a nice little SET amp. 
classical sampler?
Rite of Spring is indeed awesome, but I'm not sure I'd reccomend it to a newbee, personally. Planets on the other hand... go for it. Check out Solti with Chicago.
