| Leonard Cohen...RIP.... He had so much to say, and said it so well. The great sound quality of so many of his recordings is just the icing on the cake. He will always be with us as his music is timeless. Cheers,Spencer | |
| Technics EPA-250 Cartridge Matching Concerns @lewm It's amazing all that there is to learn! Just today I went through a panic when the seller told me basically that there is no room on the EPA-250 for an "additional weight" and that the arm I'm buying only has one weight.

| How Do Left & Right Brains Like AT ART9 vs Dynavectors 17D3, XX2, XX2mkII vs Ortofons @ninetynine If you could only keep one of those, which one & why? Cheers,Spencer | |
| Help Choosing Speakers Definitely avoid rear ported speakers if you must place them close to the wall. Many of the older designed British speakers were designed for use near the wall since many were built for smaller apartments. Totems are another brand that won't suffe... | |
| Technics EPA-250 Cartridge Matching Concerns Lew,I appreciate your comments and concluded as much from the other commentary from the esteemed John Elison, our friend (also esteemed!) @dgarretson and yourself.

| Conrad Johnson Repair Issues Honeybee, my wife & daughters will tell you otherwise! Hey, I'm not saying that a long time should pass. Frankly, both should reply immediately! The OP, I suspect is a troll, and we'll never hear from him again. Any moderators reading this mig... | |
| Upgrading from Mac mini....need opinions... Sonore microRendu $650, Uptone Ultracap PS for the mR ~$350-$399, Synology or QNAP NAS server, iPad for control if you don't have one, well under your budget and amazing value. Read the 2 part review on CA by Chris Connaker. Cheers,Spencer | |

| Where is the significant point of diminishing returns on hi-end turntable? @mmporsche As @rushton mentioned @slipknot1 selling his Walker table & most of his other gear due for his medical bills, I know he is a huge skier and he would be more than likely to deliver to Colorado during ski season & set it up for yo... | |
| Where is the significant point of diminishing returns on hi-end turntable? @rushton @rauliruegas I am proud to have you both as friends as you both regularly wake the conversation and set it back to where it will serve some good. Live music must be the reference if you focus on classical & acoustic jazz. If your mus... | |
| Help Choosing Speakers All the Vandy 2 series are a HUGE step up from the 1 series. Even considering your demo results, spare power would be beneficial; you might not notice it unless playing dynamic challenging music, but in the long you will appreciate having spare po... |
