Cost Effective Sub Woofer
Joscow, you have a very large room. One sub is going to get lost. Save for longer and get two identical subs. The best value is a Parts Express kit. Two of the 12"subs would be fine. The drivers are seriously good.  
Class A Solid State Sound
I had KMA 100s. Old Krells are all Bipolar output stages. Wonderful amps until one blew. 
Anyone Here Have Atma-Sphere Amps?
Thank you Bob. Yes, I am talking to Mr Karsten and he is very helpful and enthusiastic. I love the workmanship and point to point wiring. Internally they are works of art. He told me it takes three months to wire a set of MA 3s 
Speakers under $50k that rival $200k+ speakers?
Soundlab Majestics. It is a shame that more people do not get to hear these speakers. Not only can you get them for less than 50K but there are a number of people who think these are the best speakers you can buy period. All you Maggie folks out t... 
Benchmark Preamps and Amp - For real?
Jetter, At that money these amps are a huge bargain. You won't get anything better until Parasound releases a new JC1 and that will go for over 10K/pr 
Can one ever be "done" in this hobby?

Thoughts on a new tube amp for high end rig? The last piece!
Atma-sphere MA 2s. Be there or be square. 
D’Agostino Momentum stereo vs D’Agostino Progression Stereo Amp
Dan is one of the most disreputable manufacturers of equipment I can think of. I owned one of his Preamps. 8 years into its life one of the micro potentiometers broke. It was a custom pot and he did not keep any in stock for repairs. He told me to... 
Airmotion folded ribbon tweeters. Are they worth all the hype?
No 
Besides Aja and zeppelin pressings, what others are demo level recordings?
It is not the pressing that is important although quiet is always better but the quality or the recording and mastering which for most popular music generally sucks. Being able to blow someones doors off may be fun but it is not the hallmark of th... 
Importance of power cable for Turntable?
It makes absolutely no difference what so ever. Use whatever comes with the table and spend your money on something more important like a Pizza.

dc no matter what you do you are up against one problem. The horizontal effective mass is much higher than the vertical effective mass.The best way to deal with this is stick to relatively stiff cartridges like Air Tight, Koetsu, and the Ortofon A...

Turntable Mat question
I'm surprised uberwaltz. The washer that comes with the Mitchell clamp is very thick compared to the other systems I have used. I'm sure it compresses some and I have not use one myself as my turntables are already accommodated. Keep an eye on you...
