Riser for record player on top of receiver?
What about building a shelf above the receiver, say a foot or two above. Is that also a bad idea b/c of the heat and potential interference? That should work fine.  As long as it's a foot or two above the receiver.  Use at least a 1 inch or e... 
Riser for record player on top of receiver?
You really should never put anything (especially a turntable) on top of a receiver.The receiver has a transformer that can cause EMI noise and like mentioned above, RFI from the tuner section. 
Yes "Fragile" How great of an album is it?
"Roundabout" alone is worth the price of admission. It’s differently on my top 10 list of songs, but the album Fragile is more like in my top 50 or so. 
Elac Uni-Fi UB5
It isn’t the cabinet that is wrong. The only thing that got messed up is the color of cone on the midrange driver.It has slight green tint to it, but, IMHO, looks kinda cool. Music Direct had some of these units, full warranty for $399 a pair. Pre... 
Rare and non-heavy advertised Ribbon \ Foil cables?
NordostWeber Wire (one of the original) 
Magnepan MMG, 2015
Are you sure they were the MMGs and not the new .7s?  The .7s replaced the MG-12s. 
Any Experience with Rega RS-7
The RS-7s are a very decent speaker and at half price a KILLER deal!Many great reviews.http://www.stereotimes.com/speak022306.shtml 
What are the best subwoofers to use with Magnepan 20.1s?

Best Rock Album of 2016
Listened to the new Peter Wolf Album last night.  "A Cure For Loneliness".  A little different from his past few albums.More on the Americana/Bluegrass/Country side of things, but still pretty damn good.He does a Hillbilly/Bluegrass version of "Lo... 
stylus choice for v-15 type iv
Steve, yeah I can't remember how long it's been since I've tracked a cartridge at under 1.5-1.75 grams?  Most modern carts track at that or even a little higher.These old Shures are indeed a blast from the past and still hold their own. 
THE SHOW AT NEWPORT BEACH 2016
Peter...hope you have a GREAT show! 
Best Rock Album of 2016
Listened to the new Clapton all the way through twice now. Excellent! He has re-teamed up with Glyn Johns for this."I Still Do" is a 2 disc, 45RPM release and only sells for around $25!Kinda like the Clapton of old. What is it with all these older... 
Bass traps - too many choices!!
Ivan...you beat me to it. I was just going to comment on your above post. I’ve recommended and even tried the Cathedral Sound Panels myself, but they only work in a sealed room which most people don’t have, unfortunately.IMHO, they still don't wor...
