| Klipsch LaScallas vs Klipsch Cornwalls? I find it hard to imagine that someone who really likes the Spicas will find happiness with any of the Klipsch models. None of the Klipsch will image or soundstage like the Spicas. | |
| How to make record albums Atmashpere, great description of your recording projects.I think we agree that great recordings start with great musicians, a great recording space, great mics and mic preamps. We differ on the degree that classical recordings are similar to pop/r... | |

| Why I like my home system better than live music Are you referring to live unamplified sound or the sound coming from a venue's sound system?As a point of reference you haven't listed your system. What exactly are you comparing "live sound" to? | |
| quartz as shelving Rrog is being overly dogmatic. Unity Audio made some very high quality speakers using Corian (not quartz, but similar). If it worked as a speaker cabinet material it can probably work as an equipment shelf. There are several different brands of qu... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? I still say it's not a preamp! Any direct comparisons to other real preamps are somewhat misleading. Kudos to the designer/manufacturer for calling it what it is. | |
| disappointing VPI 16.5 performance?? Make sure the pickup brush is at the correct angle to pick up all the liquid. If the record is in really bad shape (and no new records should qualify) you may need the scrub the surface and try multiple washings. |
