I'm in the dark.......
Hi,I have two LittleLites illuminating my turntable. They are really cool and I've had mine for at least 20 years. They are a low voltage unit and have a transformer. Multiple units can be run from a single transformer. The lights have dimmer knob... 
Anyone else like to Listen in the Dark?
My cats really love it too. It's so involving that the interuptions of flipping an LP always come way too soon. It's so self-indulgent it's decandent. he he 
Where 2 buy 3x distilled water and 100 alchohol?
Hi,I get my "insane quality water" from a local computer chip manufacturer. I don't think the corporate office would be interested in selling me 5 gallons but since I have friends that work there they just ask permission to give me some.The best a... 
Audiogon Hall of Fame? And the nominees are...
I believe I admire and respect the above nominees as much as anyone. I could give any one of them a set amount of cash to purchase a system for me and they would probably spend more wisely than I ever could. That's a pretty big compliment since I'... 
How often do you upgrade your other passions?
This is an excellent question. My passions, besides family, include drag racing/street rodding, flyfishing, photography and audio. In each one of these endeavors I had a mentor. This has saved me a boatload of money. Each time I researched what it... 
Insurance rider for your gear?
Sugarbrie,That is an excellent question. I hope this helps. I have a ton of vinyl that's really valuable. I really don't care what it's worth except if it is gone and I wouldn't settle for purchase price if anyone wanted to buy them. The library i... 
Insurance rider for your gear?
I've got a rider for both my equipment and software. The best person to talk to about this potential need is a claims adjuster and not the agent. It's certainly cheap piece of mind. 
Love for music shatter by highend equipment
Hi Danny,It is about the music. Chart your own course and set sail. Forget about the oneupmanship and stay true to yourself. I can't fault the folks with systems that are so critical that the software is generally unworthy although I've been caref... 
Weird Bass Reponse on my Speakers.
I believe it is Rives that offers a test cd that is calibrated to compensate for the Radio Shack SPL meter. Hey, I don't know if I stated that correctly but hope you understand the intent. 
Manners, Eticks & Audiogon --- What do you think???
Asa has it right in that the problem is ANONYMITY. Regardless, this is the best website on the planet and most of the people here are just too good to believe. 
Speaker placement along the long wall
I really believe you will find that with substantial absorbtion behind the listening position the stage depth will just go on and on. I don't know a bunch about acoustics, but after 30+ years of placing speakers along the long wall that, shifting ... 
Audiogoners, I love you........
I have four passions other than family. I flyfish and can't begin to tell you how generous other flyfishers are. I drag race and have multiple stories to tell about the kindness of others involved with this sport. I love music and feel that others... 
Speaker placement along the long wall
No problem with your new arrangement. I would experiment with absorbtion behind the listening position. Also, consider having the speakers slightly off center along the long wall. My current listening environment, although larger, is set-up this w... 
If you see a fraud - report it here - Audiogoners
Becoming verified at Audiogon would go a long way toward stopping the inevitable creep of con artists. I have said before that there should be a less expensive but more encompassing verification at this site and received some near flame jobs for t... 
The most musical system you ever build?
My Linn Aktiv system is by far the most musical system I have ever had. Especially so when I consider the enjoyment when listening to lesser recordings. Let's face it, stellar recordings play back well on all systems.The Down From The Mountain tou...
