| Question for DIY people: Butcher block shelving?? I am somewhere in the middle with the above comments, having experimented with the very product you have under consideration. No, it's not maple, it's beech, but it ain't cheap beech, it's heavy and solid - try drilling through it. The idea of sev... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Thanks gents! I have a coupla more titles on my shopping list. KOB and Sketches really get it done for me, so I am likely to stick with that style. I guess it's the pre-electric acoustic Miles I am after... | |

| Preamp Deal of the Century Good deal Mc5baby! It sounds great out of the box, but get a couple of hundred hours on it before rolling tubes. I've had mine since late november, and it is still getting better. The phono stage in the Chenin is world class IMHO. | |
| Marshall Tucker Re-masters I'm still playing the Capricorn Vinyl releases of WWAB, Searching For A Rainbow, Long Hard Ride. No complaints here. | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century E,Call FedEx in Memphis. it's stuck in Customs. Chances are they'll take your SS# over the phone and it will release by tomorrow AM. Then FedEx will follow up with a bill for the duty on it. | |

| Brought to you by Simmons Whew, there for a minute, when I saw the title of your thread, I thought it was going to be about Richard Simmons. Perhaps an audiophile reissue of "sweatin' to the oldies" ;) | |
| Equipment that has made you 'stop' looking? Magnepan 3.6R driven by Wolcott P220 mono amps. This combination seems to get everything right in my listening room and with the genre I listen to most, Classical and jazz vinyl. | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Ray,Congratulations on the pending shipment! You are in for a fun ride! Try to to touch base with Mick Sunday night to ENSURE that your SS number is on those shipping documents. Otherwise, your Chard. is gonna sit in Anchorage customs. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Getting an early start on a rainy Saturday in the East:Roger Waters "Radio KAOS" (Columbia 40795) Interesting work. A bit of a spill over from some of "The Wall" in that Waters continues to explore the numbing effects of the media, in particular r... | |
| What are the characteristics quality recordings? Rushton has hit it spot on! My listening biases are oriented as his are toward classical and jazz vinyl. Music that is well recorded, that preserves the space and natural harmonic overtones of the performance, dynamic swings, and the leading edge ... | |
| Should you use cleaner on your stylus? Another vote for Mr. Clean and the coarse bristle artist brush with the handle cut down.I have no experience with Zerodust, but have used the Extremephono. Got sick of the goo leaking out of the container and getting all over everything. Magic Era... | |
