How can I solve a Linn
I agree with Musicdoc. Start with room treatment. Your system will benefit from it no matter what components you decide to use. I too recently had this problem as my speakers are a little bright. I built two bass traps and three wall panels (two a... 
Best thread poster for 2001?
I echo Ken Lyon and the others listed above. Special thanks to Albert Porter, a true gentleman. 
CLASSE - Great amps or highly flawed?
God, who cares? Kevzeik had made up his mind by mid-October. I am just a little puzzled. He seems to be angry with Classe and/or the posters of this thread. And poor me, I will just have to wallow in the mud with my lowest of the low, the Classe 70. 
Audio stores going out of business?
Cornfedboy - I saw a Soundtrack on on the way to DIA this Xmas. Scary. It dwarfs the Tweeter stores here in Dallas, which are popping up like cockroaches. My TT dealer(out of state) was forced to locate his store in his house because his dot-com i... 
Is it so bad that it is good??
Did any of you guys see Spheeris' latest Decline of Western Civilization? She documented OzzFest which featured Godsmack, System of a Down and the rest of the flock of like sound rock. A fun film. I think y'all would enjoy it. Personally I find th... 
Nottingham Spacedeck and Space Arm- what cartridge
If you have not already, search audioasylum.com for 'spacedeck'. AA has more discussion about the Spacedeck and the posters there seem to be more familar with Nottingham. I partnered my new Interspace with a Dynavector 20 based on the recommendati... 
Speakers below 800
A used pair of Hales Revelation Twos go for around $800. The only caveat is that Hales is out of business. Another option is B&W's 600 series speakers. Not as refined as Hales, but they are very good for movies as well as music, and B&W is... 
What's Your Favorite Party Music?
All those techno artists and no mention of Lords of Acid? Well, that's okay. 
Hall of Shame
Paradigm 'Reference' speakers are the worst speakers I have heard in thier price range. I don't get the raves. I prefer the DM302s to the Studio 20s. 
Audible differences between speaker cables?
All I know is that my friends and I definately heard a large improvement (lifting of veils sort of thing) when I switched my Kimber PBJ out with Music Metre Silvers. Blindfold me. Switch between the two. I can tell every time.Audiophile9 - Great p... 
Hales System II Signature Help Sought.
I changed my stock Revelation Two's spikes with audiopoints.com spikes. They make them in a variety of threads and sizes and will probably know which size your speakers require. I would recommend that you definately go with the spikes that have th... 
Analog newby question
If you decide to buy one, buy one from a dealer. They can help you with setup. Also, what you need to buy extends a little from the four major components. You will need to get, at the very least, a stylus force guage, and record care items. audioa... 
Best speakers for around 1000
For $1k new, look at B&W and Monitor Audio. People also seem to be pleased with Triangle speakers, but I have not heard them. 
Oh, crap.
I agree. I dodged a bullet this time. The dealer has proven that he is honest, reputable and generous (esp. w/ his time). I wish I could have been certain of that earlier. I could have saved a bit of 20/20-hindsight shame. That is, however, oversh... 
Oh, crap.
Just for the archive's sake, I did finally receive the TT, along with ten complimentary records.
