What are your favorite audio links?
Got a good laugh out of the mullets galore, funny!Thanks; much of this audio talk is dry. Don’t forget about, redtrumpet.com I get all my Japanese outer sleeves for him. Not to mention some good vinyl 
Bi amping with Musical Fidelity A3cr
yes, those line out jacks on your MF amp are the same as on your pre amp. Use the ones on the back of your MF AC3r to eliminate the y adaptor. Ron 
Two Stereo Amps, Bi-amp or Monoblock?
Bi amping is better as mentioned above, you have an amp that does not see the power supply killing low frequencies, and can run free of the effects of IM distortion. The amp on top is allowed to deliver it max sonic potential basically free of cli... 
Linear tracking arms
Well stated by all, I would just add, that is why you only see good linear tracking arms on the 25K walker, 60K Rockport, etc. The order of importance for extracting the most sound out of your lp's is. The Turntable is most important, then the Ton... 
Setting VTA on a new Shelter 901?
Verybigamp, Thank you for your very informative VTA information. I have also read where it was expressed, you will know when you have the VTA correct when the "image" snaps into focus. This only happens at one point. I have had problems in the pas...

Low end TT vs. Hi end CD
Rockinroni: Lame. Hope you got a laugh out of yourself for me. what does this mean? I really do not know what you are trying to express to me only that it sounded negative. Every man is entitled to his opinion. I was not being sarcastic, I thought... 
Low end TT vs. Hi end CD
Zaikesman,ok I give, the 1200 sounds better than any cd player. This is GREAT news. All I know is the last time I put a cd player (Nad) into my system to check the cd vs. vinyl thing was about 8 years ago and vinyl still ruled. In all the equipmen...

Power Cords - Pixie Dust?
I would not put $300 into a cord made by a Turntable manufacturer. The Virtual dynamics PC's seem to be the current leaders of the pack in PC value. Right now all are half price if you will right a review for them. That's the one I will try. But i...

Electrostat Power cords
Mhd101, I emailed Rick a virtual dynamics. He said he heard from people who tried them on Martin Logan's with success.whatever that means. When I save some cash, I am going to try some VD pc's. I will get back to you then.Roni 
New Scout & MH MM-7 or old Linn Sondek. ?????
Congrats Babyz on the linn. But you will over time, because as you say, you are new to hi fi, find that you can indeed get better for more than $1,500 for a turntable arm combo. The trick is to find the best for the lease amount of your hard earne...
