What do You listen to?
I have spent much more time researching this subject than the subject deserves and have to say that Sean is completely correct. His response is much more insiteful than could be expected from someone who has not studied or at least experienced som... 
What makes different amps produce different sound?
Unsound, I read an article in Stereophile about ten years ago about an experiment with speakers. The listeners were told that different colored grill cloth was used so they would be able to tell the difference between the multiple speakers being t... 
Where do you draw the line???
I prefer to use my iron maiden. It's not comfortable till you get use to the spikes, but wow does it sound good!!! 
What do you think of the new "Simply Vinyl" albums
David99 thanks for the info on the Dylan LPs. I'll have to check them out. I just got "Desire" from Simply Vinyl but I haven't listened to it yet. Their copy of "Blood on the Tracks" is really good. I'm surprised about the surface noice on the Fle... 
Good Semi-Automatic Turntable
Dual made some good TT like that. Maybe a CS 505 would do the trick for you. 
Is vinyl dead ?
First of all, the comsumer was never given the oppurtunity to choose between vinyl and CD. As soon as this musical tradgedy was foisted on the listening public, vinyl was pulled from the bins and destroyed. I went into the local purveyor of sound ... 
The ''hole'' problem
It's called a de-burring tool. 
Is vinyl dead ?
I would hardly consider Audio Advisor to be a good/fair representation of what is taking place in the market. They are a step above Best Buy with a few hi-end pieces thrown in to fool the uninitiated.AudiogoN would be a much better representation ... 
What do you think of the new "Simply Vinyl" albums
I have bought a lot of these LPs since this thread was started and I haven't had any issues with quality control. No warps or blemishes on the LPs themselves.Recently I have been buying directly from http://www.simplyvinyl.com. The prices are okay... 
What am I missing out on here - Bi- wiring Speaker
I don't understand it, but I have heard cable companies say that they will not make speaker cables shorter than one meter. There is some type of sonic effect which does not take place if the run is too short. I wish I remembered this better!Some m... 
What makes different amps produce different sound?
Since every amp sounds different that's probably the reason people reject that idea. There are many people who think nothing sounds different and that there is no reason to buy anything but a Bose Acoustic Wave Machine. The same equipment in a dif... 
Best Stereo or Mono Amps under $1000
A good used Aragon 8008st. I had one for several years and was very impressed with the power and authority the amp possesed. This is a tough question to answer though. Ten people will have ten different opinions!!! 
How's This Sound ? - Cable Testing
I think this is a very good way to start. The problem you will encounter is that after running cables long enough to break them in you will have to remember how the previous cable sounded. I suggest taking lots of notes. More than you think necces... 
Where do you draw the line???
Tom, you bring your bike up here and we'll go for a ride. I'll even buy the beer or whatever else you want. I'll even throw a prime rib on the grill. That sounds like a good day to me!What I meant with my comments was that your focus is very diffe... 
What do You listen to?
Sean, wow I haven't thought about the Rez band for a long time. I was talking to a guy about Larry Norman last night but he never heard of Larry. He's into Apologetics and parody stuff like that.Audiophanatik, didn't you start this thread so other...
