| good match for Atma-Sphere M60 As the Bank in Banksfriend, I feel like I've gotta add something here...I like many of the suggestions already made here:Merlins - Biased, but I think you can't beat 'emProacs - Easy to drive, nice woodwork, good mids, but perhaps lacking a bit of... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Brian Wilson - Smile - First full listen. So much hype to live up to, it will be a challenge. This was a xmas gift from my wife. She's great at picking up on pathetic hints.Laurindo Almeida - Virtuoso Guitar - 45rpm white vinyl direct-to-disc WOW,... | |
| Going HD - Should I dump DirectTV? Sean's comment that it depends on local conditions matches what I've heard. A Comcast repair guy told me that I shouldn't bother w/their HD yet, because of problems in my neighborhood. As a DirectTV / Tivo user, I'm reluctant to switch to any cabl... | |
| Preamps with Berning ZH570 Art,I've been happily using the CAT SL1-MkIII with my Berning. It replaced a Joule Electra LA150. They are both very good, but I have a preference for the CAT. The dynamic jump is goosebump inducing. The CAT is dead quiet, and the phono section is... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Zaikes, Otis Spann! You've inspired my next LP...Rushton, think I'd like to hear the "Age of Gold" sometime. It sure is advertised a bunch lately.Joni Mitchell - Miles of Aisles - super live album; what a songbook. Easy to take for granted how man... | |
| Are you bored to tears with the topics lately? Very disappointed that so many pick up on the Dan Brown reference(yes, boa--agree it's dumbed-down), bur NOBODY commented on the Marx Brothers reference! And to think I almost thought I'd found the elusive worthy club that would even have me(let a... | |

| Speaker choices, $1000-2000 Smooth & Musical I like Bigkidz recommendation of Alon II or IV. They are definitely smooth & musical.The other one that shocks me as to have not been mentioned here so far is the Vandersteen. The 2CE and predecessors are the #1 selling high end speaker of all... | |
| About Lugnut -- Patrick Malone Pat has contributed on many threads that I've read and it's clear that he's a passionate guy who enjoys plenty of spirited banter, but always in a way that makes you want to know more of him. Our thoughts are with you, Lugnut!Cheers,Spencer | |
| Has anyone had experience with the Schroeder Arm Sirspeedy,Thanks for having the nerve to fess up for your pal's attitude. I've been in your shoes, usually at the poker table. Sometimes we truly deserve the "I'm With Stupid" T-shirt.I'm a little surprised at your comments re: the Wheaton. Which ... | |
| Has anyone had experience with the Schroeder Arm Thom,Assuming either is coupled with your table, how would you describe the difference in both sound and use of the Tri-Planar vs. the DPS? Thanks for contributing here, it is appreciated! Cheers,Spencer | |

| Spacedeck Vs. Scoutmaster That's great, Ozzy. I guess the success w/Promethean base is truly room-specific.Luckily, although my floors are not the best, footfalls haven't been a problem, even during the daily doggie "chase scenes" thru the listening room. Talking Heads LPs... |
