Black Bars. What's the deal?
If I am not mistaken the projection type units should not be affectied by this problem? It is the same idea as the screen saver on a computer CRT not letting an image burn itself onto the screen by keeping the image from being static for very long... 
Using a hidden reserve price in auctions.
Garfish, is right about auction psychology. I watched a listing of friend, who for a month had a classified add for a very clean $3000 CD player. He listed it for under what everyone else was selling them for thinking he would turn it quicker that... 
Here's your chance to help the bigmouth :
A ton'o caps! Too bad your cable burner could not be of some use here. Something along that sort of technology could work but is not an answer to you question, just another question. So, Sean what is your ton'o cap of choice say for coupling? Thei... 
Bi-Wiring using 2 sets of cables; have a question.
I am doing the latter and it seems to work well. It was a matter of termination at the amp end. I cut down a 10' set of standard speaker wire to make the 5' set of Bi-wire. It just worked out better that way for me with this wire and It sounds fin... 
Buggtussel speakers: a "sleeper" hi- end spker?

Is there a turntable book?
True & true! But I still think it would be a thankless task. 
best way to clean Grado Sonata
The pressure on the tip even tracking at one gram is, in terms of PSI unthinkable, which generates some heat at the stylus, and even if you try to keep your records clean and are cleaning the diamond each side I would think you may still get some ... 
Is there a turntable book?
From a publishers standpoint this may be like producing a sequil to the "Dead Sea Scrolls". I don't think there is what you are looking for out there. It would be a useful tool for the "Neo Analog" folks that have newly discovered or re discovered... 
Best all-around cartridge for 500.00 new
No sweat Sean, I would love to try the Dynavector 10X4 "Gold" that Music Direct sells. Under $500, Boron cantiliever, micro ridge stylus and available in a 2.5mv output version. It was a limited edition and may no longer be available. I usually lo...

Bummer Dude! Sean has to quiet down the class with serious stuff. what's with the :) thing, you don't really smile do ya? Do you loosen up your bolo tie once in a while and get wild? Toss the pen protector across the room? O.K. Sean, just some goo... 
Anyone remember speakers by Kindel Audio?
Ain't that the truth. I think they(TAS) missed the boat somewhat.If I recall they hooked them up to some big bad SS amp(94db with 1 watt, come on who needs 200 watts per channel!)and muttered something about "Black Sabbath". Du Du, Du Du, oy oy oy... 
Your next state-of-the art speaker s ??? :-
Rcprince, I can't follow that act. Goodnight everybody! 
Anyone remember speakers by Kindel Audio?
The PLS-a was reviewed by TAS, I was not aware of the Phantom review in the Sfool.
