Review: Merlin Music Systems vsm-mx Speaker
I agree with your assessment having had the opportunity to listen to the VSM's before and after the upgrade. They must be one of the best buys out there. Plus, looks to die for. It's almost unbelievable how they will fill a large room with extreme...

Herman,The link sent me to the wrong site. 
What to do? Converting from 220v mains to 110v
Your Linn gear is easily user configured for 110 or 220. You might try reading the owners manual. 
Analog Upgrade Suggestions Welcome
You have a very nice system. My suggestion is to first make sure your turntable sits on a very rigid surface. Excuse me if you already have that covered but it's important. Also, it needs to be placed in a table friendly spot lacking frequency re-... 
Best of Hearing Aids for deaf Audiophiles? Huh???
My wife and I have very good hearing but at times suffer from difficulty in communicating when competing with other sources. You have some great suggestions listed above and I suggest that after you've had your hearing checked you pay attention to... 
First excerpts from the Dylan autobiography
My book came to roost here on Sunday. I'm finding it a pretty darn good read although his memory is either photographic or he has taken some liberty in describing places in exacting detail to give the reader a feel for what it was like. Based upon... 
What do you do when nothing seems to get LP clean?
Again I agree with the posters regarding Paul Frumpkin's two stage cleaning process. It's really wonderful stuff. Especially if you consider an album a lost cause. What do you have to lose? Post your desire for a sample and one of us will be happy... 
Record Cleaning Machines
Add me to the list of Listener57 and Dopogue's positive experience with Paul Frumkin's AIVS. It beats anything else I've tried by a wide margin. I previously considered upgrading my record cleaning machine and now have no intentions of doing so. E... 
A pre-amp with multiple simultaneous outputs.
Linn has all this figured out to perfection. 
RRL Cleaner, Vinyl Zyme, and Groove Glide
I'm not going to sell or give away my supply of RRL. I've got a quart of each. My circumstances and needs are different from a lot of audiophiles, I think. Here's a great example. I purchased a collection and much to my surprise Cowboy Junkies "Tr... 
Meitner DCC2
Frank,He is using the modified Philips 1000 but has the new Meitner transport coming soon. I'm certain that Steve wouldn't mind you contacting him directly about exactly which other cables and interconnects we tried. I'd hate to mis-speak about su... 
RRL Cleaner, Vinyl Zyme, and Groove Glide
I've switched to Audio Intelligent Viny Solutions two step cleaning system. This stuff is really, really good. A big bonus is that it's more affordable than anything else except home brew. Great anti-static properties too. 
Meitner DCC2
Henryhk,I spent last evening listening to my friends system. The DCC2 is fully broken in. Prior to last night we had been in awe at how good the preamp portion is and busy with selecting the best interconnects and speaker cables. Last night we use...

Results from Beta Testers of New Formulas
I offer my congratulations also Paul. I'm glad to say that I'm now a paying customer having ordered enough to keep me cleaning records for quite some time. Best wishes...Patrick
