What song says something about you?
Jim Croce said in 'I got a name' "Like a fool I am and I'll always be!" 
The truth about interconnects - can you handle it?
I guess gravity did not exist till Newton discovered, and North America was not a part of the world till Columbus stumbled across it too!People like Bomarc who claim to have the answers based on science delude themselves. Just because nobody has f... 
Cosmos vs. Aries
I have to admit right off that I am a Sota fan and really don't think that VPI tables are all that!I would buy a Cosmos in a heartbeat if I had the money. I have talked to Donna and Kirk at Sota about trading my TT in on the Cosmos. The Cosmos is ... 
Cal Audio Labs Icon MK I
All upgrades were by the customers choice. Individual selection was offered on all the possible upgrades, so just because a person got the powerboss upgrade doesn't mean anything else was neccesarily done to the unit. 
What's under YOUR turntable?
TWL, after all that stuff stacked under the table, do you still have to lean over to put an LP and the TT??? 
How do you get rid of loud crackling noise on Lps?
There really isn't anything that can be done for an LP that someone played with an old or damaged stylus. It is often difficult to determine how something will sound based on how it looks I have LPs that look like junk and sound good, and LPs that... 
Loud and Live
Rainbow Live! This is the one recorded in Germany. This is one of the best line-ups, and best no holds barred Rock and Roll albums of all time. Ronnie James Dio has a voice the size of Texas inspite of his diminutive size. Cozy Powell must have be... 
How well does the VPI 16.5 work??
The Sota LPC is a better cleaner, and a little easier to use. I wrote a full review comparing it to the 16.5 which I also owned, if you are interested. It costs a little more, but is worth it. 
Need help choosing new speakers
Tubes would be a great addition to your system if you'd rather play with it that listen to it! The equipment you have is fine! I've had tubes and I can't imagine what it would take to go back?!?Now about speakers (that was what your thread was abo... 
Amp suggestions
The sensitivity of your speakers would give you less room to play with the volume, but there are many people who use very high powered amps with speakers similar to yours. The nice thing about them is they don't require lots of power, but they can... 
"Best" cable elevators?
Tim is right on, I have done the same thing at a fraction of the Mapleshade price. The only differnce between our teepee's is I used a ball between the three legs to build a common size. While the legs of the teepee were held securely I used wood ... 
Equipment fetish
I don't know if I have the right to talk, but I usually sell to buy the next piece. Somehow I have managed to collect three CDPs and several extra sets of cable. When I have enough equipment in boxes it means it's time to sell it and buy a new pie... 
Any Duty Fee to import equipment from China?
I'm not sure if there is a fee, but why would you want to buy from a country that encourages the murder of it's own citizens? Remember Tianemin(sp) Square? They force married couples to abort every child after the first one and imprison everyone w... 
I need help, my system died
It sounds like you changed an awful lot of variables so it would be hard to place the blame on any one place. Moving equipment can changed the sound of the system. Have you considered returning to some of the old placements to see if the bliss wil... 
How Do You Stack Your Equipment?
It is a hassle to place everything in one rack. Ideally a person should keep the pre-amp away from the amp to avoid interference. The pre-amp should also be kept away from the CDP for the same reason. Most racks don't offer enough space to accomod...
