Why do no audio enthusiasts use McIntosh?
I still am a Mac fan, sort of. Then again, maybe not. It does not seem to be the same company it once was. I tried repeatedly (REPEATEDLY)to get help with repair of some very high end classic Mac gear that I have owned since new. All to no avail. ... 
Best Tweaks.....
Stop by your local granite shop (could be to the gravestone maker himself)and ask for 3cm thick remnants, which are usually no to little charge. Purchase simple rubber / soft plastic, self-stick bumpers at your local or big box hardware store (the... 
Record Cleaning Machines
I have over 2000 lps collected over the past 30 years (since grade school - only mentioned this so you get an idea of what I may be cleaning. I also frequent used record stores for those hidden, but often dirty gems). I absolutely love the quality... 
Another sign SACD is dying
Circuit City? Best Buy?? You've got to be kidding me that these outlets ever carried any audiophile audio gear or recordings. They are MASS MARKETERS. Certainly they impact the market. But look to the creativity / quality coming out of the smaller...

Good Semi-automatic Turntables ?
You might look for a vintage Micro Seiki DD Series produced in the late 70's to early 80's. I have seen them for a really good price on both Audiogon and EBay (at the $250-$350 range how can one go wrong?). They offer a solid table package, incorp... 
What Turntable to buy under $600 ?
I agree with the last fellow's assessment of the response provided to date. Really going off the mark.I would, however, bet my ears and wallet on the Sota Sapphire. I have owned several Sota's (still own a Star Sapphire and absolutely love it), cl... 
Subsonics with Grado & Rega Arm
I was having a similar problem. I have been using a Grado Reference Sonata with my Rega RB300 Origin Modified arm on a Sota Star Saphire table with the Sota Reflex clamp. I sent my arm to an Audiogoner (Michael Wharton - teatime66@hotmail.com) for...
