Importance of Power Conditioner?
uh umm, I have the Chang CLS 6400 and it makes a positive difference at a low budget. I am a renter, so I'm not going to rewire anything inside the walls. Otherwise, I would suggest curcuit isolation if you own your place. I plug the amp into the ... 
Cry me a river
The most emotional I've become around my stereo is when I munched my 2 month old Dynavector needle while trying to readjust the belt on the turntable motor. I'm still not over it. Rob 
No Audiophiles in Hollywood
This is a little off, but still somewhat relevant. On "The best damn sports show period" they have B&W speakers. Rob 
Whats on your turntable tonight?
Nothing since I am redoing my room treatment. The walls are bare now, so no fun to listen until I'm done. But I just wanted to comment on what a great thread this is. Thanks Slipknot1! 
Meitner EMM DAC6e Redbook Performance
there are more raves about redbook with this setup than SACD from what I've seen. 
I'm frustrated with people who don't ...

Dynavector Cartridge Load 100ohms or 47k ohms?

Wadia 302 CD Player- Into power amp directly ?
I would try it out. I have noticed that in some cases, when running through the preamp, it sounds better. In other cases, bypassing the preamp will sound best. I think the quality of the pot. (you know what I mean) has something to do with it. Rob 
Large Speakers Small Rooms
Spacekadet - I know I know it is ridiculous for the VS speakers. It's temporary otherwise I would be using bookshelves. But I do (after hard labor and pain) have the set up working (obviously not at its potential) I am going to try corner placemen...

I have a JMW 9 tonearm. I've had it for about a year and a half and no rust. I'm sure they will replace it. Rob

Living with popping and crackling
What noise? Oh that noise. I didn't notice. I was into the music. Listening to LPs (music) = blissListening to your system and evaluating how good it sounds = pops and cracks

Slipknot1, Leo Kottke is great isn't he. Gotta love the fact that you can find his LPs used for $1-2 each and they are well recorded as well. Rob
