How can I get back into vinyl very cheaply?
If you are looking for ease of use and less headache than a vintage rig, buy something current - like a Music Hall, Rega or Sumiko. Lurk on Audiogon for a few weeks, and see what you find. Music Hall MMF 2.1, Rega 3, various Sumiko models (overlap... 
Is 2 channel dead?
Do you really listen to 5, 6, 7.1 channels at once? What planet are you from? Do you have 2.5, 3, 3.5(.5) heads?Last I heard, stereo employed a 2-channel to 1 head ratio, and was 1:1 on ears. Sounds sane to me - I think it'll be around for a littl... 
Burlington, VT - Any interest in starting a club?

tice power block 3c or another for $900 ?
It's a great power conditioner, but Tice just went out of business. I'd spend my hard earned dollars elsewhere.

Strangest Tweak?
CD demagnetizers trip my BS detector, though some swear they can hear the difference. 
Anyone ever heard of 'The Wave tube amps?
Seriously, they cost less than a 1m set of Red Dawn or Neutral Reference. I keep thinking... 1m of good interconnects, or 2 great little tube amps? 1m of good interconnects, or 2 great little tube amps? It still blows my mind. Almost everyone can ... 
Best cover tunes
If "best" can be taken as "most entertaining":Gang Green's remake of Til Tuesday's "Voices Carry". You'll be in tears.The entire "Anton Maiden" album. If you're an Iron Maiden fan, you must hear this to believe it. 
88 db sensitivity/6 ohm load..tube power question
How about an Anthem AMP-1, there is (or was) one on Audiogon today for $480, and they can generally be had for around $500-$550. EL34 tubes are also plentiful and cheap.I own the Wave 8s and use them with 89db 8ohm BA A60 bookshelves. They get the...

Am I hurting my speakers?
I can't say. What music do you listen to? ; ) 
Bug Ugly
Norh 4.0 speakers (even moreso than the 9.0s), especially in the fuscia and chartreuse. Offensive to the extreme. 
Analysis Plus Spker Cable Excellent Cable or Hype?
