I Just Don't Hear It - I wish I did
Rodman99999, "PS: That was all BTW, and I won't be back, so- Relax!."I, for one, am pleased to hear you won't be back. :-)Wendell 
Did anyone hear the Cardas "Clear Beyond"...
"our expectation is that the Clear is in another league."In my opinion, you just invalidated the need for an audition.You've already set the expectation. That's what you will hear.Wendell 
I Just Don't Hear It - I wish I did
I view it quite simply. If I can easily hear it, it is real.If someone has to tell me what it is or I struggle and struggle and, just maybe, hear a difference, it isn't real.Hearing is believing. Unfortunately, too many times, believing is hearing... 
Have You Heard the New Stanley Clarke Trio LP?
That's a Telarc recording which means it was digitally sourced. Have you compared the LP to the CD?Wendell 
Audible Illusions Preamp
L2 replaced L1. 3 replaced 2. 3A replaced 3. There were many variations on the 3. All the 3s have a similar sound.The 3A is an outstanding preamp. There is a new model called the 3B. Art is a great designer. Customer Service has been the weakness ... 
Velodyne's Dim View
Agreed. Pretty good products but their support and attitude towards customers needing help sucks. 
Vpi vs. TW Acustic
People can get so passionate about this hobby. There are no absolutes and many paths to a satisfying system. There is no best. I find there are many more good products than bad whichis a good thing for all of us.

Sirspeedy, I'm a VPI fan but have you heard the Raven? It seems to be a very good table. Are you speaking from direct experience? 
Best Buy is going to sell vinyl records
Jwong, Best Buy is carrying new release vinyl. I bought the new Dylan, Morrison, Johnson and Krall from them. I have the Green Day and Deja Vu on order. It's not just reissues.Wendell 
Astral Weeks, Live At The Hollywood Bowl
"He sings on this recording like he is chewing his food while singing."Compared to Dylan (who is a favorite) he sings like Caruso. 
Vpi vs. TW Acustic
Hifigary, The Hovland is outstanding. In my opinion you're going to have to spend alot to get significantly better.Wendell 
Vpi vs. TW Acustic
Hifigary, If the VPI Classic is as good as the hype it may be a significant but affordable upgrade to the Aries. The last time I talked with Brooks he still had not received one from Harry due to some manufacturing issues with the platter. I'm not... 
Vpi vs. TW Acustic
No brick and mortar dealer can sell every line. The honest ones, such as Brooks, will tell you if they've never heard something that's of interest. He can only recommend what he sells and knows. Makes sense to me. Can you articulate what you feel ... 
Astral Weeks, Live At The Hollywood Bowl
Mofimadness, thank you. That helps alot. It's an excellent live album that sounds like there was little post production to suck the life out of it. I'm guessing it was recorded digitally but would like to confirm. I know Bernie Grundman did the ma...
