| Has anyone heard the VPI Classic yet Sumiko Blackbird and a Cary SLP98p F-1 version (direct coupled, all upgraded caps). | |
| Has anyone heard the VPI Classic yet I had it for weeks, after trying 3 other VPI tables, this have been by far the best. I had been trying out tables (6) for a year, but my search is over.I didn't think the SDS added anything, so I sold it. | |
| Moving from CD Player to MAC Book Pro Music Server Shardone, it's very easy to use. I have already had one SATA drive die on me, and I just popped in another. I had a RAID array that a buddy built for me, actually the head IT guy at my company, and he is the one that turned me on to the Drobo. He ... | |

| I need help with my Equipment addiction Hevac1, thank you so much for your truly grand gesture. I knew that the Audiophile community would close ranks and help out one of it's own with a problem. I think I have been talked off the ledge at this point though, so I will turn down your gen... | |

| Best driving music. On a nice day, it's the top off and the playlist almost always starts with "Shoot to Thrill" by AC/DC, then "Roll with the Changes" REO Speedwagon, and "Alex Chilton" the Replacement. Only the radar dectector will keep that from getting you a ticket. | |

| I need help with my Equipment addiction Foster 9, that's a reality check. I do love the music, I don't know what the problem is with always wanting to change my system. I don't have a 'crazy' expensive system, I stay in the same league mostly for upgrades, so it's not killing me. It pro... | |
| The Best Tube Amplifiers vs Spectron ? I had the Spectron Musician 3 in my system (with Maggies), and it sounded a bit bright. Maybe I didn't give it enough time to break in before I got rid of it. Also, I had a SS preamp at the time, maybe if I had my current Cary Preamp there would h... |
