what is a good sound stage suppose to sound like?
I have a very good soundstage between, in front of, and behind the speakers. But, I don't seem to get much outside of the speakers except on a certain few recordings. My speakers are about three feet out from the wall but to bring them out more wo... 
First pressing LPs
Goodness, you have a very serious 'tude prob' there, Rock. I could not care less about who is right or who is wrong. What I was trying to get at was how to tell first PRESSINGS by merely looking at the label, because I thought that you would be he... 
Authentic Siemens E88CC?
To be honest the way the getter is "attached", the plate itself, the font on "Siemens", and the "quality" of the screening leads me to suspect them fake. Could be wrogn, of course. 
New Steely Dan; Great Music w/ Surgical Precision
I like this new CD and am awaiting the vinyl. I think it will grow on me more over time, but I do not think it is their best effort. I like the title track a lot and the Becker lead vocal one is pretty good, too. If anything, it reminds me more of...

Phono Section Break-In CD ??
Do you keep a straight face when cashing checks for those phono Burn-In CD's? :-) 
Phono Stage w/Pot for analog only rig
Thank you for the repsonse. Now what if I decided to go with a line stage and separate phono and would then not need a pot on the phono?

Right Channel Lag
Thanks for the responses. As a first attempt I am going to switch to another set of tubes in the pre to see if one of Sean's theories might identify the culprit. Will also run my tuner directly to the amp to see if I can eliminate the amp as a sou... 
Right Channel Lag
Sorry, should have provided more detail, I guess. I am not using a processor. Using a Pass Labs X-250 amp, Kora Eclipse preamp, and Vandersteen 3e speakers. Same result using all sources, and I've switched IC's and reversed connections, so I gotta...
