| what is the best Holly Cole CD? Don't Smoke In Bed and Temptation are both terrific, both musically and sonically. The vinyl 45rpm included w/Romantically Helpless is demo quality, but the LP material is much weaker. Cheers,Spencer | |
| RIP VPI TNT So I guess I should consider myself lucky owning a TNT6-HR w/12.7 arm! I've been wondering if this would happen, as the TNT6 wasn't really featured on the old website either. However, if you asked about it, it was available to order. Harry & c... | |
| Need suggestion on tube amplifier with XLR inputs With all due respect, this sounds like a horribly overly complex setup, which would be difficult to wrap your arms around. I recommend stepping back to see the forest from the trees. For starters, are you using this rig mostly for movies in surrou... | |

| Best Diana Krall album...........is??? "The Girl in the Next Room" is good in its own right. It is a very big departure from her other work. The all original material is a departure from her other releases which is primarily covers of jazz standards. The influence of Elvis Costello def... | |

| Help me get the most out of my Merlin TSM MX My initial reaction was just as Burntedj's. Cardas Golden Ref speaker cable. I like the idea of the Jadis for $1900 too. That's a pretty good deal, and would likely outperform your Cayin in many ways. Cheers,Spencer | |

| Turntable on a $5k budget? Fly,I agree w/JBaussie that non-suspended high mass tables should be fine regarding footfall. I've had no troubles ever on my suspended wood floors with VPI and Nottingham non-suspended tables, and I'm confident that all the ones you mention above... | |
| Turntable on a $5k budget? So trueski! Much of this is great advice. I guess it boils down to:--commitment to learn how to setup properly --gear that has good synergy between phonostage-cart-arm-table--commitment to clean LPs --combo of time & money to find LPs new &... | |
| "Pictures at an Exhibition" Another piano transcription that sounds great on LP is the 45rpm super analog master by Shura Cherkassky on the Nimbus label. Yeah, I love Reiner, but the Dorati/Mercury is worth owning too. I think it's available as a reissue. Cheers,Spencer | |
| Do cold temperatures damage audio equipment? Cryo treatment should cost extra. Don't mention to Fedex ;-) | |
