Soundstage........
I've gone through several systems, all in the same room, with the speakers set up relatively the same way using a formula from the Cardas website. A structured room with walls and a ceiling has helped me to retain a nice soundstage no matter what ... 
MIT oracle v2.1 question.
Matrixdude, Thanks, I have a better understanding of the MIT line now. I want to do some rearranging so I need about a 4m length balanced cable.Mike 
MIT oracle v2.1 question.
Jimf, Thank you very much, this clears up a lot of my questions.I need a balanced cable, I might go with the V2.2 if I can find it.I'm used to using cables like Tara 0.8, Nordost Valhalla and Synergistic Tesla Apex. I wonder how the MIT Oracle v2.... 
Mounting a Graham Phantom II on a VPI Aries 3
Which armboard did you use? Was it a blank from VPI? Was it one cut for SME? I have a SME IV.Vi mounted on my Aries 3, so I might be interested in other arms. Thank you for going where no man has gone before,Mike 
Amp more important than speakers?
Elizabeth, the 50% rule applied in an age when we bought speaker cable at the hardware store and used cheap RCA interconnects that came with the gear.I look for speakers first to "voice" my room and I agree that you can get better results with a g... 
JL Audio
I use two JL f110's for my stereo where they play in the background to fill in the sound. I had one f113 in my room, but for better imaging and the small roll they play in my 11x25 foot room the f110 (for the price) is all I need.For home theater ... 
how to connect 2 jl audio f113 subs?
Yes, that's what I use, a cheap XLR cable. 
VPI Classic/Clear Audio Maestro Wood Question
Good light is important to setting up a TT. Make sure your TT is level before setting up the cartridge. A good alignment protractor is helpful as is a good digital scale, VPI setup tools, in my opinion, are a rough estimate of a set up. To set azi... 
I just got back into analog.....
That's a big jump back into vinyl. I have a Lyra Skala that sings on my IV.Vi. There's probably others in the Lyra line that'll work. I'm using a lowly Sim Audio LP 5.3 phono preamp, probably hard to beat in it's price range.Good luck,Mike 
Got the table now I need a good arm and cart combo
I don't know anything about the Townsend, does this one have a trough for vibration control? Can it be used with any headshell? Is there an arm length that fits this table? What about an armboard, do you have one or will you be making your own so ...

are audiophiles different than non audiophiles ?
04-10-11: ElizabethAudiophiles: detail oriented, nervous disposition, high strung (though may have the appearance of laid back barbeque, inside they are a taunt bow) finicky, demanding, precise in some ways, utter slob in others, strong focus in a... 
Audio Aero Capitole - 6021W subminiature tube ??
I have the AA Cap Reference SE and my tubes are Philips, this does not mean the Philips sound better than the Sylvania, I think the Sylvania are just in short supply. I got some Sylvanias from Vacuum-Shop and another source from that part of the w... 
Audio Aero Capitole - 6021W subminiature tube ??

SONY SCD-1 CD/SACD Player
I had a SCD-1 years ago, it started to have read errors. I think I talked to Richard Kern about cleaning the sled assembly. I did my own disassembly, cleaning with a lint free cloth and solvent (brake cleaner) and lubed the assembly with a light T...
