How many audiophiles do you need to change a lightbulb?
I would probably leave that task to the non-audiophiles.....like my wife. 
Legacy audio Focus se and tubes
This was a long time ago, but back then I had talked to Bill Dudleston about using tube amps with his speakers. His response was: "If you buy a tube amp, all you're getting is a box of trouble."You can take this response with a grain of salt as it...

Ask Peter Lederman, maker of Soundsmith carts. 
Good Product or Nonsense?
Why would a gold CD have haze, and a standard one not? I assume the polycarbonate coating is the same on both types of CD's. Maybe the haze is more noticeable on the gold one because of the color? 
Entry level turntable for my son

Harry James, The King James Version

Ugh....dropped the stylus on the platter
You should be thankful the platter wasn't spinning. Bouncing across something soft where the diamond can dig in would have tore the cantilever right out of the cartridge. I had a loose fitting T-shirt on and bent over my turntable to see the back ... 
Cambridge Azur 851C
I've had my 851-C for almost seven years now. Isn't going anywhere anytime soon. I love this player. Even though it's been around for awhile, it more than competes with just about anything  in the $1500-$2000 range. IMO.  Built like a tank and so ... 
Ask the local curmudgeon (me) anything related to tech or liquor. :)
AND on that note, I'm the guarantee man for Knob Creek Whiskey. If for any reason you do not like their whiskey, please carefully package up the unused portion and send it to me, and I will "cheerfully" drink it for you!lol
