i2s cables: Different connectors???
Good info from Kr4 and Perose. I'd like to add that the Revelation I2S cable is a very fine product and is better than much of the competition out there (from my experience). I'd try to stick with that cable if at all possible. If you need to know... 
Music everywhere, too much?
The worst tends to be what's on the phone while you wait. But generally, I don't notice that music is all around -- it's not at my office, I listen to NPR during the commute, many of the stores I frequent don't play music. All in all, I'm not over... 
What makes a good tonearm?
I'm starting over since the Resolution is gone -- sold between the time I emailed the inquiry and I was able to see the response. Oh well. Punch is good. Opinions are welcome on an appropriate table. I would guess the arm would do the job, but if ... 
What makes a good tonearm?
Thanks all. Right now, I'm seriously considering an Origin Live Resolution table with an RB-900 arm. I'd welcome feedback as to whether that will provide sufficient lower end punch for my taste. I've not decided on this nor have I decided on a car... 
What makes a good tonearm?
Buscis2, I have been looking at the Origin Live Silver, which is a heavily modified RB250 and favored by some Analog gurus here on the 'Gon. But, if some great used package deal comes along with a nicer arm, I'd certainly consider that too. Still ... 
What makes a good tonearm?
Great articles! Now I know enough to be dangerous! Thank you for the great reads. My objective is to get a relatively maintenance free arm and these article pointed out some ways to do that. The Audiomeca parallel tracker was also interesting. Tha... 
Fancy wall plugs?
Ditto on the ditto. Plus the Timo advice is, as usual, quite sound (pun intended) 
No Wires..... Ever Wifey Dearest Audio Riddle
Robert, that is hilarious. The free cd was a nice touch per earlier posts ;-) BTW, that could work. Hmmmm ... 
No Wires..... Ever Wifey Dearest Audio Riddle
Have you considered using one of those paper mache Chinese dragons? Nobody would notice the wires.Seriously, what's your configuration? If you have a rack, and the wires are behind it, a simple black cloth on the back of the rack would do the tric... 
The Best Live album
Pmotz, Peter Gabriel is great live! When I read "Peter", I also thought of another one: Any Peter Frampton fans out there? 
Balanced XLR Turntable / Tonearm
Twl, you're undoubtedly correct, but I'm moving to a phono preamp (battery powered, fully differential, copper shielded ...) that only allows for XLR connections and requires floating positives, negatives and grounds -- one per channel. The Discov...

Redbook for the long haul
Bombaywalla, the lasers might be finer, but there are a lot of high end manufacturers in both camps: Those who have moved toward the universal player and those who believe the digital paths mandated by SACD or DVD-A tend to corrupt the musicality ... 
Love is certainly but is music...?
You're certainly not alone. Music soothes the savage beast -- and I do get a bit grumpier when I'm unable to relax with it. 
Talkin' bout YOUR generation...
Cream was at the top of the heap. Following was Jethro Tull (e.g., Benefit, Stand Up), Jimi Hendrix and Led Zeppelin -- I still remember listening to their just released first album at a friend's house. There were lots of other great bands like th...
