Antiskating .... The last analog secret
Guys,Suggest you go to 6moons.com/archives/audio reviews/analog sources and read the Vinyl Setup Guide: The Guru Papers. Interesting approach to setup and it addresses antiskating. 
iPod docking station - Belkin vs Wadia vs Arcam
Hack,Please clarify - I can use the Wadia docking station without a DAC and not significantly compromise the sound? 
Mismatched phono stage
I didn't know that gain was the only issue. I don't have to crank up the volume control very much at all when I switch to phono.That being the case, then I'll forego modding my preamp to a MC board.thanks!! 
Mismatched phono stage
Currently using a high output Benz Micro MC20E. Haven't noticed anything obvious. Sounds like you feel that sending in the preamp for a MC phono stage would make little, if any, difference in sound quality of the turntable and is therefore unneces... 
Feet f/Arcam FMJ 23T CD player
Thanks - Since I have some points with threads, I'm going to replace my stock feet. 
Feet f/Audible Illusions Modulus 3 Preamp
Thorman,Do you simply rest your Meridian on the points or do you use something such as Blutack to adhere the two together? 
I Ordered a Pair of SP Tech Speakers
I live 3 hours from Chicago and would love to attend your symposium. I've been a follower/supporter of Dale Pitcher for many, many years. He's a genius. He is currently upgrading my Essence Super Gems as we speak. Also own one of his Essence amps.... 
Top Speakers for Nearfield Listening in Small Room
Have you ruled out Dale's Intuitive speakers? I understand that he's built a new amp that's incorporated into the speaker base that, together with the speaker, creates some awfully nice music. 
Lack of Identification on FMS cables
Jtimothya,Are FMS cables directional? I can find no arrows and nothing to distinguish one end from the other. 
Wilco on Austin City Limits
Okay, okay - I give up! I'll give Wilco another try and I'll track down "Thanks I get". But, the toes better tap -or else! : )I had the same problem with Dave Mathews band. A friend loaned me their greatest hits. Folks, ALL THE SONGS SOUNDED THE S... 
Lack of Identification on FMS cables
Actually, that was my very concern. I've been offered a fantastic deal on some out-of-this-world cables. So, I'll probably be replacing the FMS. If I do, I'll want to sell the FMS cables; but am afraid I'll have a hard time selling them if I can't... 
Wilco on Austin City Limits
Based on a review in either Stereophile or Absolute Sound, I ran out and bought Wilco's Hotel Yankee Foxtrot. After one listen, I immediately gave it to a friend. Maybe it's my age (57), but I've found very little rock music being recorded today t... 
I'm not dreaming - these are great CD copies
Truthfully, I didn't understand the last two posts. All I know is that when I play the CD-R, the music is clean, with more detail and dynamics. And it's not my imagination. 
Noisy earphones
Thanks much!

Folks,I found a previous thread in the forum that answers my questions. Much thanks.
