What are the 5 most overrated rock albums?
Anything by Moby, Creed, Korn, M&M, Bush, Filter, Garbage, Smash Mouth and Rage Against The Machine......whoops got caried away. Ben Campbell, Neil Young's newest release doesn't even come close to how pathetic Zuma was. Never-the-less, Neil Y...

Marakanetz,I agree with your philosophy regarding a synergy between the table and arm. Good luck and oh yes, the guitar picks sound like a good way to go.Later,Patrick 
Would a Fabric Room Divider Interfere with sound?
If your choice of fabric was grille cloth and the grilles were removed from the speakers it should work. You never know, you might get lucky and find fabric (for the non-speaker portion) that looks like the grille cloth you selected in order to ke... 
TRELJA in New York, 2002
Trelja, Thanks for the report. We in the boondocks appreciate it. I also found Hififarm's comments interesting concerning DVD audio. The most telling comment was regarding the recordings being a labor of love. If more artists, producers, engineers...

Marakanetz,I think you have found the problem. One of the most difficult things to accomplish with my Linn is to get the armboard level with the plinth while having the suspension respond correctly. In the case of a Linn, if one "pushes" down on t... 
New Lowther whizzer cone design.
Nice thing about this is that it eliminates crossovers completely. Could be better than going active. If you get a chance to hear them please post the results. 
When is the golden age of high-end audio?
Slawney, The golden age of high-end audio has occured intermittently and lies in the software. When great artists, song writers, arrangers, musicians, engineers and producers all care enough to approach a project with a "no compromise" attitude, i... 
Quality Rock/Pop CD recordings
Janis Ian "Breaking Silence"-this is the finest recording I own. Superb dynamics, great music with bummer lyrics. Thankfully the lyrics are easy to tune out. A++++, must buy.Paul Simon "Still Crazy After All These Years"-a definite must have. Grea...

Marakanetz,Understand, I have never actually seen your brand of turntable in person but looked at several photos on the net. Since it is a suspension turntable I make the assumption that the platter and the armboard are somehow suspended together....

I have, in fact, listened to master tapes and done a direct A/B comparison with the same recordings on vinyl as Pbb asks. I don't want to fuss over playback software because it really is the music that counts but let me expand. This opportunity wa... 
TV & computer monitor all in one
Hauppauge has several tv tuner cards to pick from. I have the WinTV Go in my machine and it works really well. The one I have is the mono version. They make them in stereo and with am/fm tuners. They also have released an HDTV card but it's pricey...

The phono cable that attaches to the arm base could be under tension at the disk extremes. I know nothing about your table so excuse me if this is not an appropriate place to look. On my table the DIN connection at the arm to the plinth needs enou...

Good idea to match Naim pre-amps with other amps?
acw, I have used a Naim 42.5/Hicap with a pair of Linn LK 240's and also a pair of Linn LK 100's Aktiv. I also matched these amps with an LK 1 preamp and a Wakonda. The performance of each combination was great. I eventually stayed with the Wakond...
