Best Option To Liquidate CD Collection
To answer your question, the amount you'll gain from selling your collection is directly proportional to the amount of work you put in selling it. If you want to sell in bulk you're not going to maximize your return. Why would anyone pay you top d... 
The best of the ECM label
This is, of course, subjective judgement, but here goes. I've bought ECM for decades, one of my favorite labels. Rockadanny is right, some of their releases are boring though. Some I definitely think aren't boring: Anything by Steve Tibbetts (grea... 
Speaker cables to smoothen things up
I'd suspect you are expecting too much from a speaker cable change. In my experience, they affect the sound of your system less than interconnects and power cables. If your listening is all via the mac mini, have you considered implementing digita... 
Tonearm for Acoustic Signature Challenger Mk3?
I've been very happy with an Audiomods tonearm in my Acoustic Signature Final Tool, a great improvement over the stock Rega. It's a drop in replacement for the Rega (as it is a highly modifed version of the Rega that only uses the arm tube, everyt... 
Music Recommenation: The Art Of Martha Argerich
Thanks for your impressions. I've seen that one at Arkiv Music and have it on my "to order" list. She's a great artist. 
Anything you can put between spikes and carpet?
"I use standard spikes on carpet, Measure very carefully for perfect placement. Once I get placement just right, I stand on the base of my stand and push the spikes through the carpet."I don't know if this is the OP's exact problem, but in my case... 
Anything you can put between spikes and carpet?
I had to deal to deal with the same issue. My Tidals don't have spikes but the footers need to couple to something solid. I ended up being very happy with squares of granite (see photos in my system description.) The bass tightened up very nicely ...

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 ...
