Phono stage / Preamp Question
Paul offered a good explanation of the function of a phono stage to which additional explanation is not required. I do have a question about your motivation in asking about the NAD though. Do you already own this unit? Are you considering buying i... 
Physically Separate Amp from Other Equipment????
As a rule, keeping an amplifier close to front end equipment can and usually will have a dileterious affect on the audio signal. Amplifiers put out a large electronic field. Other equipment can suffer from that field. If there are no expensive pro... 
2 way or 3 way Speaker?
Not neccesarily. Three way speakers have a lot more potential problems due to the greater complexity of the crossover. Most of the problems found in a speaker are due to design flaws or compromises in the crossover. 
How do you determine how much to spend on speakers
Determine your budget and double it. Nice try swampwalker! 
No Audiophiles in Hollywood
I'm surprised no one mentioned the movie The Rock where Nicolas Cage bought a Beatles LP and it seems to me they showed a TT, but I don't recall which one. 
Cry me a river
I cried while listening to "Approaching Lavender" by Gordon Lightfoot, but it was right after the first death of a friend in my young life and the song reminded me of her. Sixteen is far too young for a beautiful, vibrant young woman to meet her end!

Review: Magnepan MG-3.6r Speaker
Accosted? There may have been a little groping and fondling, but there was no accosting taking place! Therefore this review is fundimentally flawed! I want my money back! 
Tell us compliments received on your system...
"That's the heaviest amp I've every helped someone carry!"I'm not sure it was supposed to be a compliment though. 
Review: Krell FPB-700cx Amplifier
Steve, I've wondered about this, and have considered going to the KCT, but I'm so happy with the Krell/Klyne right not that I don't know that I need to change now. Ultimately I plan to go another direction with my pre-amp anyway, so adding the KC... 
Review: Krell FPB-700cx Amplifier
The point was that it showed potential based on the performance of the FPB 200. 
Got any of your dream system yet?
I would keep my amp. The rest would go. Maybe I'd give it to Slappy if he wanted it. What are the odds of both of our ships coming in at the same time?Another good question might be, do you know what you'd buy if you had the chance to get it, or w... 
Solid stylus cleaners: Extreme Phono vs. Onzow Zer
I was surprised by how much #%$^& the Onzo took off my cartridge. 
tweak, do they realy bring improvement?
You can't use the word christian here, even as a name since this is a religion free zone. Note the spelling errors. My parrents were poor! 
tweak, do they realy bring improvement?
Barry, I'm sure we agree more than one might be led to believe. The point I tried to make is that as long as the vibrations are absorbed or dissipated it doesn't really matter from what source it has originated.Hospitals, labs, and others seek to ...
