| Where are you at on the curve?... UNDER CONSTRUCTION: I am keeping my speakers and gutting everything else. I hope that will move me up the curve, but I won't be near the top until I start my career, i.e. getting paid. | |
| Going SACD or analog? There is no doubt in my mind that a TT rig will sound better at your price point. There is also a ton more records out there than SACDs. The downside to a TT is that its more of a pain in the ass, and a larger investment in time, money and attenti... | |
| link between speaker and floor I don't know what you mean by best, but spikes + discs have worked well for me. | |
| Effective length of Well Tempered Classic? I believe it is the same as the Rega arms, 239mm. | |
| Attention to detail Are you sure you have the source and amplification for your priority? I am not implying you don't, but one has to really like the what the upstream does when they want to hear all of it. | |
| Whats your opinion? How did you narrow it down, what gear do you have, what do you want, what are your practical constraints? | |
| Cleaning agents? I'll take the Basement Challenge :) http://www.amusicdirect.com/products/detail.asp?sku=AAQUC01And that includes pipe cleaners! Sweet! | |
| Cleaning agents? I don't think I have the system to notice substantial improvement, but I think audioquest cleaner via amusicdirect is a good deal, around $10. AQ's wrench is about the best $8 you can spend, too. | |

Threes. They have a lot of bass. Before they roll off, the bass is about as potent as the Revelation Th... | |
| digital glare - problems/solutions I just purchased Purist HDI interconnects, which are made to go between CDP and preamp and advertised to take the edge off. When the mailman drops them off, I'll try to come to some conclusion about the claim. | |
| A Little Hypocrisy? When I read the starting post, I had the same thought as Rdr4b. People complain about audio prices all the time. As always it is funny to watch some of you look at a forest with a microscope, and call yourselves biologists. When you buy a CD, you ... | |
| Where do I find replacement CD jewel cases? When I worked at used CD store, we used to carry some double-cd cases under the counter for store use. We would sell them to customers who asked for them, though. | |
| Looking for the right interconnect Okay, thanks, Kalan. I haven't heard it either. Someday, maybe. | |
| OT: History / slang terms and what they all mean I love things like this. "Up the creek/river" comes from the Renaissance when major cities were built along a river. During this rich cultural time, citizens did not want to see beggars and mentally ill people, so asylums were established (often c... | |
| What do you think Audiogon does right? or wrong? I am a critical person, but right now, I don't think audiogon is doing anything wrong. The only thing that comes to mind was the voting, etc. done in the past.The best thing, I think, is how the classifieds are managed. |
