Thanks for all the input. I'm copying all the advice you've given and will try to listen to as many as I can later this week. You guys are the best.Pat 
Best Neil Young Album?
My sister has been trying to send me a video clip of Neil Young singing Down By The River backed up with Crosby, Stills and Nash on Hullabaloo, or some such show. It's absolutely the most wonderful example of those guys at their best. It is pricel...

Frank,If your Airy is not fully broken in then you and your installer are going to be amazed when it does. It's very detailed out of the box but with time it gets so smooth it's spooky. At least that is how my Yatra behaves and the one UNIverse I'...

Swampman, I've been through the type of treatment your wife is getting an it's much more difficult to endure than what I'm doing. Besides, whether you believe it or not, your role is more difficult than hers on several levels. Bless you for being ...

Thanks Zakesman. Well guys, today was another day of chemo. I suspect this will be as uneventful as the others although I'm not feeling well at all. Barb and I both went to our audio club meeting and ate out prior. Whatever I had didn't agree with...

Thanks guys. Yeah, I'd already decided upon the new interconnects but I thought they were a secret for now. Anyway, I like the opinion expressed by Joe as he understands the synergy thing with the rest of the equipment. I've seen some TSM's for no...

Help on Linn Ittok Tonearms
If the arm has not been abused there will be no trouble. The most desireable is the black LVIII. The LVII which I have is a stellar preformer at its used price point which is generally lower than what I'm seeing them sell for at this time. What be...

Need to re-discover analog - please help
Nsgarch,The extent of what you say has not been lost on me. And, I do find this to be very interesting. I am not questioning that things can get better because repeatedly through my life in this hobby the performance bar has been raised in regard ... 
Cartridge set up questions - Spacedeck / Space arm
"With the cart installed at end of the head shell, the VTF is fail to meet the required VTF of 1.5 to 1.9 gram."I doubt that the cartridge is set to its null points as you've described above. I understand what it is you are trying to do however. T... 
Need to re-discover analog - please help
