PS Audio GCPH comments-opinions
Tried to find where I read about the hum to no avail. I know I read it though but it was just a passing comment someone made within an otherwise glowing review (not professional review but on some blog). I would be very interested to know how you ... 
How many audio systems do you have in your home?
Three. Main system in third floor listening room, whole house system with control equipment located in family room, system at my business. All three systems have cd formats, lp, cassette tape, and radio. Do car/suv systems count? I find it hard be... 
PS Audio GCPH comments-opinions
For starters you might want to visit (or revisit) the PS Audio web site. You can download the entire owner's manual from there, plus, there is an extensive write up on it. PS promises a lot with this unit. I have read where some users experienced ... 
great vinyl sound cost as much as great cd sound
I want to add my comments about record cleaning. It is a must. A quality record cleaning machine makes for a notable improvement in record care, playback quality, extension of cartridge life, lp preservation. I have a Sota LPC which works unbeliev... 
Should I purchase an expensive phono preamp
You might want to look into modifying your RB250. Origin Live modifications to the arm make this piece a category killer that will improve sound defination, character, etc... . There are good sights on the internet where you can read about this. A...

Great music listed. Also include Joe Ely (for special instance,"Letter To Laredo"), another vote for Steve Earle (for example, "Transcendatal Blues"), a lot of Jennifer Warnes work, and if you're a Flying Burritos and Gram Parker fan you have abso... 
are all power conditioners noisy?
I use a PS Audio P500. No sound at all even after being on for hours running between 35% and 65% of capability. There is a fan in this unit but I don't hear it. Also, NO hum. Would there be sound eminating from this unit if I ran it even harder? I... 
Spks. wood veneer is drying out.
The veneer on your speakers very likely has a factory-applied "varnish" top coat that could be catalyzed conversion type. Even if it is a lesser quality top coat you will not effectively be able to penetrate it with oils. Go to a quality hardware ... 
Entry level phono stage
Creek is good at this price. Also check out Parasound and used Grado. You might want to keep your eye out for a used Lehman Cube which would be a wonderful option that your system can grow with to some point. They are often listed in great conditi...

Buddy Rich. Bill Bruford. 
Who is your overall favorite guitarist?
What? No mention of Albert King! Genuine innovator on guitar. He's the man who started and perfected bending the strings. Also today, how about Jimmy d Lane. 
Best Male Singers of the 20th Century
Johnny Mathis - I agree w/ R-Burke. You've gotta listen to "Open Fire, Two Guitars". Amazing! Actually beautiful. Hey, and I'm a solid blues and rock 'n roll fan. 
Best live album you've ever heard?
Lots of great performances listed but I missed seeing Allman Brothers "Live at The Fillmore East". Not a dog on the 2-lp set. 
Can anything beat Vintage Amps for the $$$?
The right vintage amp will beat anything based upon the investment requirement. It is not like an automobile where technology has improved performance and the value ratio between new and vintage favors new. The reason, the "golden age" of analog i...
