whats the best way to reglue record covers
If the cover has any value, an archival glue will be best. You can find it at photo supply stores. They come in stick form. 
You know you're an audiophile if--
...even Joachim Phoenix thinks you're nuts. 
Rega Drive Pulley Issue
If it's anything like the P2, it's normal. The motor on my P2 isn't solidly mounted to the base. It's suspended in place by a rubber band, thus free to move around.If yours has a cover over the motor held on by screws, you can remove it and see th... 
Turntable Isolation
I have a Rega P2 and even the slightest tap on the cabinet it sat on produced a thump through the speakers. I cut some foam pieces to put between the feet and plinth. One kind of foam didn't do much. What did work well was to use two or more diffe... 
B&W CM1 and Polk RTIA1 or A3-comparisons?
These Polks don't seem to be available anywhere in Co. Is there anyone in Co. who has a pair of the RTIA1 or A3 and is willing to let me come over and have a listen?Thanks,Ben. 
Celebrity Audiophiles? Do you guys know of any?
Someday I hope to be a celebrity.However, I'm not a lunatic audiophile (is that redundant?). 
How many times do you play a CD/LP?
The ones I like the most, I play the least. If I play them a lot, I'll tire of them. So my favorites get played once or twice a year.That makes perfect sense, doesn't it? 
R.I.P. Davy Graham
He was the innovator's innovator. I first heard of him, like so many others did, way back when Paul Simon played "Anji" on the Sounds Of Silence album. I had to find out who this Davy Graham guy was. Isn't that how the originals are always "discov... 
Telephones for Audiophiles?
Are you sure the tracking force, azimuth and vta of the phone as it's applied to your ear, are set up correctly? Subtle changes in these areas make huge differences. Also your arm's geometry, especially the forearm-wrist angle, is very important. 
Bookshelf Speakers That Bolt or Screw Into Stands
My B&W CM1s have threaded inserts in the bottom. 
Why no audio when "Pure Direct" mode is set to ON
I second Iplaynaked's post. Do you have sound in other than pure direct? Make sure the mode is set to auto. 
Amp for my B&W CM1's
I just got a pair of CM1s. I tried them with my McCormack DNA-1, Adcom 545 and even straight from my Denon 3805 receiver. They all sounded good.The speakers are easy on amps due to the impedance, however they are inefficient. A CLEAN sounding amp ...

Biwiring and impedance
Thanks Kal. That's what I was looking for. 
David Bromberg -- Any fans?
Been a big fan for decades. I saw him many times in the '70s when I lived in NYC. He's been in Co this past year with an acoustic set. He's more laid back but still funny, raunchy and musically mesmerizing.
