'they blew'em off the stage'
I meant Bob Seger, not Seeger (obviously). 
Help Me Justify Recent MMF7 purchase
hey man, set it up right, but don't be too anal, feed it some good tunes, and enjoy it. "Did I get the best I could have?" is a terrible question with which to start out a relationship with a turntable, or anything else, for that matter. And don't...

Lonely voice, so far. 
'they blew'em off the stage'
Bob Seeger and the Silver Bullet Band (the tour their "Live Bullet" came from), opening for the Doobie Brothers, maybe 1976.

Lewm: I just didn't want to leave intact the impression I was suggesting anything fishy on Jean's part. Gadfly: Does anyone welcome your interjections?

I said: "I've no idea whether Jean is at all guilty of this"So you should not have said "Jean does propose his hypotheses as facts, without having done the experiments necessary to prove the hypotheses, as you also suggest".And FWIW, and it's wort...

It's not bad science to invent an hypothesis to suit your observations. Of course that's what one does. But it is bad science (and an abuse of common sense) to do so without bothering to learn about the mechanisms at play in and around the phenome... 
Good speakers for a low budget
Yes obviously get rid of that CDP. maybe both it and the amp. The alpha's are probably her strongest link. 
Owners of speakers by obscure companies chime in
I've got Camber 3s, large front ported two way (8" woofer, silk dome tweeter) standmounters by a Canadian company in Ottawa, that were badged "Rega" before Rega started making their own speakers. They are maybe from 1980, and sound wonderful. I go... 
Looking for some cheaper Speaker Cables-$600 or so
What a world. $600 used counts as "cheaper" speaker cables. 
Opinion of my older Snell E111's please -
Can't speak for the EIIIs, but I really like the EIVs. I think these Snells are very underappreciated speakers. Unfailingly musical and full, and easy to drive. I agree that they're not the last word in revealing, but at their price point used, th... 
Best 2 Channel Integrated Used for under 750?
Consider a Naim Nait3 (5i for a good deal?). There should be enough $ left for Naim speaker cable, which is necessary. You'll need odd DIN to RCA cables too. But what a sound. Naim is highly addictive, in the way their gear make you appreciate and...

Just to add, of course the generalizations themselves might be usually if not always wrong, but the particular inferences they license usually true. There are black swans, so they aren't all white. But the next one you see will be.

Hey again Mrtennis:You say:"generalizations based upon experience are usually incorrect. such generalizations are based upon induction. the results of induction can be disproven by one example, whereas the results of induction cannot be proven."Al...

Mrtennis: is it *never* a good idea to generalize? Are you saying that it is ALWAYS good to avoid generalization? Sorry, just had to point out the performative contradiction there.Oh, I agree with Pookie that the shoe is over the top.
