Whats on your turntable tonight?
Ccryder, You do have the Classic records 33 1/3 with a red label. It will state on the back cover at the bottom "Manufactured under license..." but will not say "Classic" anywhere on the record or cover. Canadian records on RCA/BMG were German pre... 
Power on 24/7 for Linn Amps?
Interesting... the only problem I've ever had with Linn products was the LK280-Sparks power switch twice failed and would not power down, one occurrence on each set of them I had. Makes one wonder if I had left them on, would I have had the troubl... 
Any XTC fans?
You bet, Geffen was the kiss of (fidelity) death on XTC in the colonies, may they burn in hell! On the lighter side all great mentions of The Dukes Of Stratosphere's 25 O'Clock and Psonic Psunspot, English Settlement on UK/Virgin with the textured... 
Favorite Tube Speaker Match
C.A.R. Classic Audio Reproductions or Coincident speakers with Atma-Sphere OTL amps. Very nice. Cheers! 
Whats on your turntable tonight?
Ccryder, This is not meant to "one up you" in any way yet, if you like the RCA copy, try the Classic Records 33 1/3 or 45 for the ultimate expression of this album. These versions will take your breath away and so will the prices. I own all three ... 
Best amplifier for Sonus Faber Concerto Home??
As The_kid said "You have wrong speakers if you do NOT like "musicality"." nper_nospam@freemail.gr please clarify. Judy426 offered a great response to you question, if we understand it correctly, but you have to be kidding! right?Cheers!? 
Best cartridge under $800 for Graham 2.2
Benz Micro Glider, Shelter 501,Clearaudio Virtuoso, Dynavector 17D2 are four cartridges that are in your range. Bob Graham's 2.2 is a beauty and would more than carry these well. Are you running a phono amp? Nice TT as well. Happy spinning!

Glide3, Do you have any thoughts on the ASR Emitter? 
Linn LP12......That good??
There are many rigid suspension TT out there that have a blacker background than the Linn but I find many of them also are not as lively in the reproduction of acoustic music. They seem to suck some of the life out of the music yet give a sharp re... 
Opinions: Neuance Shelf for Linn Sondek Lp12 TT
Yikes! I guess I can’t count my days or spell the word “rigid” either! Sorry 
Opinions: Neuance Shelf for Linn Sondek Lp12 TT
Opps! big apologies to Ken for my mistake! His last name is Lyon with no 's'. Sorry 
Opinions: Neuance Shelf for Linn Sondek Lp12 TT
Here is my take on Ken Lyons Neuance Platform 'A'. First, I'll start by saying that like most components and cables there is a mandatory time needed for breaking in or settling, if you will. Too often we try to rush or just plain don't give a comp... 
Linn LP12......That good??
Ok Newmanoc, We get your take on Salvatore's somewhat eccentric ruminations. Frankly it's easy to criticize others for their opinions/experience and quite another thing to risk putting your own thoughts out for the same for mentioned scrutiny. Thi... 
Linn LP12......That good??
Holmejr, I concur with Lugnut about the Ittok arm. Had one on my deck since '83 and I'm running an Akiva on it now. Sounds excellent. Again, the Circus upgrade is a big one cutting your surface noise in half and improving detail resolution. An opt... 
Audiophiles... Why Men? Any woman here?
"disgusted in Philly" there are all kinds of men in this world and this hobby. Consider yourself fortunate to have a lady who shares equally the love of great music and great equipment (to make music on the off days) as commented in your past thre...
