Should I buy a VPI SCOUTMASTER. I OWN 25 RECORDS.
Wow. Don't listen to these guys OP. Take it from me. At 25 records you should be getting the Onkk Cue. At 30 you are looking at the Caliburn Continuum Magnum. That's why whenever I get to 24 I sell a few, in order to keep the table I have now. The... 
Completing and old system: suggestions for class A amplifier
If that's your dream, go for it. Whatever it cost, it will be worth it. If only to be able to say, "I'm living the dream!" And its literally true. 
LP made from a digital master recording...
It’s essentially a crap shoot You don’t know the half of it! Everything you mentioned and more can be done to perfection, and still only one in a hundred copies somehow against all odds delivers the sublime sonic perfection records are truly capab... 
Hidden Sub maximising boot space of a car
Car stereo guys do work like this all the time. Its absolutely not for mass production since the whole idea - which car, what woofer, how much space, etc- is custom to the core.  I did one exactly like this for the back of my Honda many years ago.... 
LP made from a digital master recording...
When an LP is pressed using a digital master recording as the source, does that LP still have an analog advantage? It sure seems that way. What makes it hard to say for certain is the problem of how to compare. Because what you're asking really b... 
New Santana Album "Africa Speaks"
The few make it worth the effort. You’ll just have to trust me on this. I get PM’s. Difficult as it may be to fathom, hard as it may be to swallow, there are other people with other points of view, people who don’t care all that much for being pre...

Oh, good Lord! Deep in the jungle Beyond the reach of greed You hear the voices of spiritsWith their frequency of lightMaking sounds like the crackling of stars at nightCommunicating with plants, animals, and mankindAffirming the universal truthAl...

Right. You won't find a lot of free thinkers here I'm afraid, rockysantor, its mostly a special snowflake/NPC kinda crowd here. If this really is one of those not a citizen of any country collectivist claptrap type deals that's just one more reaso... 
Bryston ST vs NRB low end!?
Well if its more dynamic you would be hearing that across the range, right? And if its boosted then you would be able to EQ it right back out again, you being in a studio and all, right? But instead of any of those observations the one you make is... 
Getting GIKed!
New speakers,or a new preamp are far sexier than some acoustical panels. Right. And new acoustical panels are far sexier than tiny little HFT. Implications..... Think about it. 
In-ceiling: Am I wasting my money?
I have my main rig in The Listening Room. I bring the music into my kitchen by leaving the door open. 
So What Is Real?
Wire sounds different. Still waiting for science to catch up to our little hobby. Right. But will it make any difference? 
Audiophile Bass?
My 5 are invisible at all times. They are so not there I sometimes have to touch to make sure they're working. It is as if there are no speakers. Only music. 
Importance of phase and timing optimization when incorporating sub woofers ?
No it could not possibly matter less.   This is a hard one for people to grasp, probably because this is so critically important to getting good sound in the midbass, midrange and treble. But the physics and psychoacoustics of really low bass are ... 
The most critical parts when recapping
As far as I can tell everything everywhere makes a difference. When you ask about is it worth it though, hard to say. Mostly because with caps there seems to be no upper ceiling on cost. Plus there's little tricks like using better large value pow...
