Design Plans or Kits for LP storage Rack
Thanks to all who took the time to add there thoughts and own projects to this thread. Psychicanimal Have you looked in the archives for LP storage, probably not. I did and the selection was slim to none. I only tried LP storage for the search. If... 
Design Plans or Kits for LP storage Rack
Patrick, thanks for the quick response. At this time I have about 200 LP's. I know that this number will increase but probably will never get into the thousands. I'm picky with Lp's and tend to choose the quality recorded or mint used ones. Yes I ...

Any veneer woods to cover my ugly shelves?
Try Parts Express. They have 2'X10' sheets of peel and stick wood grained vinyl sheets available in 4 colors for around $12.00. It's the same stuff that inexpensive speakers are finished with. Cheap and easy fix. 
Recommended Carrier for Speaker Shipments
One last note. There are UP arrows available that will show if the crate or package was tipped or toppled over. They have colored crystals inside and if tipped the crystals stick to a stickey arrow inside. They are used on shipping crates for lar... 
the Listening Room
Hi Rives. I have a spare room that is in the process of being converted into a 2 channel only "listening room". The room is 10'8" X 13'4" and has a 6' closet door on 1 long wall and the short walls have a door on 1 and a double window on the other... 
Tonearm Cable Question
Slowhand. Are you asking about IC's from the output of the TT to the phono input, or are you asking about the actual tonearms wiring going to the output of the TT. If it's about the IC's between TT and pre amp, I'm curious also. 
"Refurbished"?
Hey Viridian! Good one, you're killin me. As for B stock items,it's ok to buy them if you know the seller and/or the " reason for B stock", otherwise buy newer used. 
the Listening Room
For me it would have to be sound isolation and control without making the room look like a recording studio. Only time I can listen to music at the volume that I enjoy ( sort of loud ) is when the house is vacant. This room is for listening to mu... 
Tube Pre-Amp Upgrade Advice for Young Audiophile
Hi SQUIDDY. Nice system. I have the VTL 2.5 with internal MC/MM phono section. It sounds wonderful overall and the phono section is probably the best in this price point,IMHO. If you play alot of vinyl, you won't be dissapointed. Just my $.02 I... 
VTL L-2.5 vs Rogue 66 Preamps
I'm using the VTL 2.5 with MC/MM phono section with a Bryston 4B pro with Synergistic Research IC's and speaker cables and am VERY pleased with the combo. VTL has an excellent reputation and customer service is excellent also, IMHO.

Another dumb question
Mostly all good answers. Bryston makes great stuff. If the VOLUME DIAL POSITION really bothers you. You can find a nice Bryston preamp USED at a fair price. Most people have budgets to adhere to so price can be an issue. By having amp/preamp by th... 
Anyone using Ray's custom Silver cables ?
I had Ray make a pair of bi-wire speaker cables for me. The material and build quality are unbelievable. They sound smooth, detail is superb. I liked them so much i purchased a couple pairs of .5 meter interconnects. They sound great and there not...
