Cowboy Junkies: Lay It Down fav cd?
Although I can't comment on CJ CD's (I don't own a CD player) Black Eyed Man is one of the very best engineered and recorded records I own. As we all know, female vocals are stunning on a good system and one of the mandatory tests to determine mid... 
In love with my Loricraft
My recently acquired Loricraft was DOA. It required a new gear system for the arm mechanism. The Dealer was able to repair it and I was good to go. In one sense the Loricraft is a ridiculously expensive tweak. Here on the 'gon $2400 can buy some v... 
Robert & Alison-Raising Sand
I've heard a number of cuts from this odd couple on the radio and felt it was elevator music at best. Early Robert Plant solo work was very strong IMO. The Pictures at Eleven EP is absolutely jaw dropping on vinyl. Although I like Bluegrass I've n... 
Best short-lived band?
Legion of Mary and The Traveling Wilburys 
Snakeoil for your Scorpio's
I just bought two more pair from a fellow 'goner. Simply put "SSC" in the search box on the home page.

Who is your favorite blues guitarist
Too many stellar choices to pick just one. Can't believe nobody has mentioned Kenny Wayne Sheperd. We saw him when he was 18 at a small club in Denver and I thought it was Jimmy back for a visit. Johnny Lang also has chops.We saw Coco Montoya, Joh... 
Report from Rocky Mountain AudioFest
This was my fourth RMAF and overall it was highly enjoyable, as always. In this neck of the woods (Denver) it seems audio enthusiasts are far and few between. So, it was nice to commune with brethren of like mind. Speaking of which, it sure would ... 
Audio Physic Scorpio - How does it rate?
How about a response from a Scorpio owner? I've had these speakers in my system for just over a year. They were one of the pair of Scorpio's improted into the U.S. As with any system, changes must be employed in order for a new component, (especai... 
Best "Island Song"
From the Ripley's file: American Dream, Nitty Gritty Dirt Band 
Are the Nitty Gritty vacuum cleaners...
I've owned my NG 2.5, in real walnut and oak, for 25 years. It is semi-automatic and noisy. Have never had it serviced. With the right 3 step cleaning process I am able to turn rice krispy-sounding records into enjoyable listening experiences. Doe... 
Will an RCM make the Rice Krispies go away?
Tim,Initially, the Scorpio's delivered a marginal improvement over my previous speakers. I bought them primarily because my search for speakers was becoming tedious and I'd always appreciated the characteristics of the Virgo's, (warm, liquid mids,... 
Will an RCM make the Rice Krispies go away?
So it seems Vinyl-Zyme is in my future, based on all the positive comments. I use a Herron VTPH-1 phono amp, with a Kuzma Stabi table and Kuzma Stogi arm along with a Benz Glider. I was planning on upgrading the Glider until I replaced my old Yama... 
Will an RCM make the Rice Krispies go away?
Thank you everyone for the suggestions...I think. Actually, I was hoping to throw some $$ at the problem and sail off into listening heaven. I'm certainly willing to put forth some effort but, showering and steam cleaning???Maybe establishing real...
