Albinoni's adagio
Gary Karr on double bass, accompanied by Harmon Lewis on organ. The Cisco LP reissue is amazing if you can find it. This is a demo, crowd always drops jaws after hearing it. Cheers,Spencer 
I have now listened to my restored, recapped and serviced NAD 3020 and..........
Got me through college years. Goes great with Mission monitors. Cheers,Spencer 
Lloyd Walker's Next Shocker
It was the Vortex delrin replacement tube for the VPI record cleaning machines. It did a much better job than the original at removing dirt and fluids from LPs. Results were visibly and audibly obvious. As a longtime 16.5 owner I was excited at th... 
Patricia Barber, Cafe Blue "un-mastered"
Yeah, Jim Anderson is a genius. That would be awesome. Cheers,Spencer 
Owens Corning 703 vs. Roxul Safe 'n' Sound?
Ethan has a Manufacturer's forum section on audioasylum that is full of great info relating to room acoustics and treatments. Much of the content is many years old but still among the most helpful I've seen. Lately, I've seen his name brought up i... 
A Big DIY Bang for Your Buck?
Geoff vs. Jeffrey; no wonder there viewpoints are magnetically opposed. Maybe they are Bizarro twins? :-) Cheers,Spencer  
Why Single-Ended?
@audiofreak32 I think your post is silly and doesn't match my experience at all. OTOH, I think your icon photo is excellent and shows a highly recommended addition to any system. Cheers,Spencer

@paraneer Great post! @slbradley , read that advice slowly and carefully, so many excellent points raised. Cheers,Spencer 
Owens Corning 703 vs. Roxul Safe 'n' Sound?
Excellent point about the thickness of 703 being so important at that frequency, but low frequencies are more likely to gather in the corners and the panels behind you on back wall will most likely only affect mids and highs so I would focus on ab... 
Speakers to pair with the Ars Sonum Filarmonia tube amp?
Devore might be another good choice, although I agree Reference 3A is one of the first I thought of. Totem is another. Cheers,Spencer 
Power Cables for Krell FPB300
@nglazer It has 20amp IEC female and comes with a generic cable which I think I read somewhere(i.e. a forum post) that it's made by Belden. Cheers,Spencer

One other smart choice if you find a deal in your price range is the Technics SL1200mkII or later, the best selling tt ever. Known for robust motors, stable speed and solid build, they evolved into the most popular DJ tables although they weren't ... 
What ever happened to Krell ?
None of these comments stopped me from just purchasing a recently recapped & serviced FBP-300 amp which should arrive from Krell in a few days. It's been over 20 years since I sold my KSA-50. After recent searches led me to 30yr old Sound Lab ... 
Power Cables for Krell FPB300
Guys, thanks for those suggestions. As a renter, adding 20amp line is near impossible. I am in old house with fuses not circuit breakers. Somebody mentioned that since the outlets are on opposite side of house from the fuse box, extra resistance w... 
Owens Corning 703 vs. Roxul Safe 'n' Sound?
@bdp24 I feel your pain, with both HD & Lowes the inventory often doesn't match what online says is there. A frequent time waster. Your plan sound solid. If you do want more low freq absortion (i.e. bass traps for those front corners, rock woo...
