speaker to stand coupling
I second Danvetc's position. It continues to be counterintuitive to me, but my Silverline SR 17's sit on aurios on top of my Osiris stands. This decoupling has added spatial cues that must be heard to be believed. 
Female Vocalist like Diana Krall, Jacintha.
I bought Frances Black's 'Talk to me' on the Celtic Heartbeat labal from an A'goner and I haven't put it in the rack since I bought it. She has a gorgeous voice, and this recording captures it all. 
LS speaker 5-inches Lower than the RS
An interesting question. Since gravity doesn't affect sound, if your listening position also had the same incline it might be fine. And if your walls were built with the same care, you may have a good listening room there. If not your are messing ... 
I adore my Shahinian loudspeakers
And what is the secret website named? 
How to use Hunt carbon fiber brush?
A light touch is the key and use a spinning record. My Rega is weak but I can use this technnique even with it's limitations. Begin with the brush tilted down with the leading edge lower and the brush across all the grooves As you make initial con... 
Small Room Question
Those speakers should be sufficient to deliver the sound you seek. Did they sound better in a previous room? What are you using for a speaker stand? What do you have between them? Do you also have a thick absorbing carpet and soft cushy furniture?... 
which speakers, under $2K used?
I strongly agree with shigojw: the homes are not in the same league for 2 channel use as their predecessors. I might also add Silverline SR17's to the list. 
Make me feel better
I broke a cantilever off my Clearaudion cartridge with zero hours on it when I flicked the tonearm into the side of a record while unlatching the tonearm lock on my new Rega p3. I still have to be careful with that thing, it just doesn't suit my f... 
REAL Sub/sat satisfaction? Can it be done?
I've had very good luck with my REL sub and Sonus Faber Electa Amator I's, Signums, and Silverline SR17. I suspect that some problems come when people use low pass filters to feed their monitors less than the full range signal their crossovers wer... 
My Survey project, I need YOUR help : :
Gee, I'd like to play, but there's no room for my Rega, Creek Silverline OCOS Benz Kimber system. 
DirecTV access cards
It's not just Direct TV, it also happens with Dish. I'm on my 3rd Direct TV card at home. The executive apt. I was using last summer had Dish Network cards expire. What I found annoying was that Direct TV expected me to pay a $25 fee for the chang... 
Mat Material...............
I have used a ringmat on a Rega P3, a Basis 2500, and an LP12. Why these little, skinny cork rings should work is beyond me, but I don't like the sound with the alternatives as well. I do find that I can tell the accuracy of my settings by how obv... 
Surprisingly good shipping option
I guess there's no perfect solution that is both cheap and certain. I too have had good experience with Greyhound, but many locations limit insurance to $300. I've only had damage with UPS, but I have encountered goofy counter service with FedEx. 
POLK SDA series
I had the SDA CRS model for about 10 years now my friend has been enjoying them for the last 6. The sound was always pleasing and nicely balanced, and loud is one wanted. They were an easy load to drive, and a very easy to live with speaker. There...
