Zd542, It is all too easy to feel the poor are doomed when we look at the numbers. The older I've gotten, the more I think we all give ourselves too much credit for our accomplishments in life. By that I mean that the vast majority of humans just ...

Zd542, There's something I'd like to point out with regard to your blaming the poor for being poor as a result of bad decision making and not taking enough personal responsibility. Most of us contributing to this thread probably made some bone hea... 
VH Audio CHeLA?
It's going to be difficult to get a meaningful answer to your question. First thing to remember, of all the cables in your system, speaker cables matter less than others as far as audible differences (in my experience.) Second, it's not just the s... 
VPI Scout set up
Be a bit more specific. Do you mean there is a lot of play as you pick up the arm and move it into position to be dropped in the grooves or do you mean it is wobbling around while it is actually playing the record? If it feels wobbly while holding... 
Will power cables improve a VPI Classic 3 tt?
Forgot to mention that I had asked Otto Hanak at Acoustic Signature turntables about this a few years ago. He was amused at the idea that a power cord could affect speed stability and assured me that no performance benefit was to be had with upgra... 
Will power cables improve a VPI Classic 3 tt?
This question has been asked numerous times (on this and other forums) with regard to VPI and other tables. I'd say 80% of the respondents (myself included) hear no difference or strongly believe that it can't make a difference. Invariably, there ...

Top 3 Most Overrated Artists contest in R&R.
Tostadosunidos drives home a good point, artists you may think are overrated may still be really good performers. I can think of many that fit that bill. Rod Stewart was one of the best performers I've ever seen (when he was young.) 
Most overrated audio manufacturers?
Dweller, I think that "performance at half the price" is only part of the equation in a value rating system. It's in the nature of our free enterprise system that someone is always trying to deliver a better mousetrap for a lower price. Often, the... 
High End Audio-Gaining Higher Ground?
Macrojack, I think you touched on the periphery of a subject that is seldom examined; the difficulty many audiophiles experience being satisfied with living in the present. You make the analogy of seeking ever greater audio realism with a drug use... 
currently own a vpi scout, looking to upgrade
Near the end of my post I meant to say "are you going to buy used or new"? I really wish the owners of this site would restore the ability to edit your posts! 
currently own a vpi scout, looking to upgrade
You've got a nice system and you'll hear the benefits of an upgraded turntable/analog chain. However, the Scout is a high value product ( I had one for several years) and it sits in a sweet spot on the price/performance curve. IMO, going up the pe... 
Most overrated audio manufacturers?
Holiday weekend entertainment! Let's chum the audio waters with troll bait and watch the frenzy! This should be real amusing thread by Sunday evening,
