sand versus shot in speaker stands
Theo,You are correct. There is a compnay called Atacama that sells a product called ATABITES."High density filler designed for mass loading of speaker stands. Delta shaped chips which interlock together creating minimum air gaps."http://www.atacam... 
Fleetwood Mac Staples LA
Christine McVie was NOT with them. The article I read said that she was and always has been invited, but she's "done" with all of this music business stuff.There was a rumor that Sheryl Crow was offered a spot on the team, but turned them down. 
Fleetwood Mac Staples LA
I just saw Fleetwood Mac three weeks ago at the Pepsi Center in Denver. It was too loud for me. My ears are still ringing. I am going to quit going to indoor venues. I am getting to old for that kind of inside sound level pressure I guess. I, fort... 
Which tubes are better...
Wig,I tried the RCA clear tops also, (in addition to ALOT of others). They are good, but not on the same level as the Mullards...in the Belles preamp anyway. You should really enjoy the CV4003's. 
Which of the Audiogon advertised interconnects?
I replaced all of my mega expensive Cardas collection of cables on my 2 channel rig with Black Mountain Cable and couldn't be happier.I use Signal Cable on my Home Theater set-up and it's excellent as well.

Dynavector DV 20X-L -- which MM will better it?
Al,I had SoundSmith redo the regular, (non ruby) version, but it really doesn't matter because they replace the cantilever with a ruby one anyway. The F9 cartridge BODY is the same, just the stylus is different. You could send them either one of y... 
Dynavector DV 20X-L -- which MM will better it?
I have gone back to MM cartridges after many years with MC. I find the good MM cartridges are more musical and the music just "flows" better. I agree that MC do have more detail, but I find, in my system, they tend to give up some "soul" of the mu... 
Non-grounded power cables
There are several companies that make an IEC-C7 to IEC adapter that lets you use any standard power cable. I know Audioquest even makes an upgraded IEC-C7 to two prong cable.

"Internet Radio" Suggestions Please?
I also recommend Pandora.com. I found out about it here on Audiogon. 
Belles DMC preamp
I'm pretty sure, (I used to own one) that is has ONLY a MC input. I think there was a DMM model for moving magnet cartridges.
