Strange Tonearm Tweak. Long
I have to agree with Tom's original statement about him being a little strange. I thought this idea was also a little strange, but since I've corresponded with TWL in the past and I have an arm with which this tweak would work, I contacted him and... 
Cable vs. Electronics: biggest bang for the buck
Psychicanimal did you get your speakers back yet? What do you think of the mods and the filters? I have been considering the filters since TWL recommended them a few months ago. I'm curious about the results. 
New to tubes-what the heck does NOS mean?
NOS stands for "new, old stock" The tubes have never been used but they are not newly made (read: not as good). Some people prefer tubes from a certain manufacturer and from a certain time range rather than brand new, just made tubes. Personally I... 
My wife says yes Help what to upgrade next?
Gretchen, I use the 8008 too and I found that it works very well with the Krell KRC 2 pre-amp. The sound with the Krell in-line is better than without it. For what it's worth if you can get your hands on the pre-amp, try it! 
Audiogoners Anonymous?
I thought my wife wrote this thread."No really honey I'm just checking what's new, I'll be off in a second." 
Review: Sota Sota LPC Turntable
Sorry Tom, I tried to listen to other formats but 8-tracks, cassttes, and CDs just don't do it for me. At my age I must be either hopeless or darn close! Maybe I can have 'em melted down and cast into a casket to bury me! 
Strange Tonearm Tweak. Long
Where do I send the money for this mod, and what cool name do you associate with it? 
Speaker priority: high or low???
Cliff, any significance to the fact that you end this dialog with a remark about your Veritas??? 
Review: Purist Audio Design Proteus Interconnect
Mgottlieb, you make a wise observation. I did not give this any consideration while using the two cables, but Dominus is soo much bigger I can see the size being an issue on single ended cables. I don't know what electronics you own but I bet your... 
A tubes vs. Solid State question.
Tom, I have always enjoyed it when you weighed in on any given subject because I usually learn something form your comments. I certainly did not have you in mind when I asked the question. I know several people here for whom I have nothing but res...

TWL here's my opinion, for what little it's worth. Although knowing what you're doing right now it might be helpful.Purist Dominus (3.5 meters RCA)Purist Colossus (1 meter RCA)Kimber Kable KCTG (.5 meter)Cardas Golden CTara Labs Pandora SI would r... 
Speaker priority: high or low???
Tom and Cloudgif, I agree with both of your conclusions. Tom must have gotten home from work earlier than I. It sucks to work for a living.Although I have to take exception to Cloudgif's comments about digital sources. Every digital source I have ... 
Cable vs. Electronics: biggest bang for the buck
Psychicanimal, marry me. You take me and I'll take a vacation. If I married you I'd need a vacation. Ahhhh I can see it now, you bending over a hot stove, but I can't see the stove!Say, you better get out of here. I hear they're gonna tear you dow... 
Speaker priority: high or low???
Paul isn't your mutual friend actually named BOB Carver. How good a friend is he that you don't know his name.In regard to your question; it was never amps vs. speakers. I would be more inclined to ask: Speakers vs. front-end? With this stated I s...
