| How many AudiogoNers are amateur chefs? RcPrince,We just did the same thing in our kitchen. The renovation is just about complete. We took the wall down between the dining room and kitchen, hardwood floors, granite counters, prep sink, new range hood, recessed lighting.. Decided that my... | |
| Is $18,000 enough for a high end HT? As an aside, DO buy the AMX controller system. I am a shareholder in the company and the stock has been taking a beating over the last couple of years. | |
| Cars. What does the typical audiophile drive? Just got a new vehicle as the lease was up on my Rodeo. I purchased a 2003 Nissan Xterra. | |
| Where can I get quality cassettes. I'll second Terrapin Tapes. I've been a customer for almost 9 years. Never been disappointed. | |
| Are Virtual dynamics speaker cables worth the $$$ I don't use the VD speaker cables, however, I do use their power cables and they represent great value-per-dollar-spent. From what I can see, the speaker cable line is priced higher than power cables. I'm sure the products get the job done, but at... | |

| Sunfire Cinema Grand Sig. I have never owned the others you mention, but listened to the Aragon and the Sunfire. I purchased the Sunfire Cinema Grand Signature as I prefered its power AND nuance over the Aragon. I needed an amp that would allow me to drive a very difficult... | |
| What's under YOUR turntable? 2" thick maple slab, sitting on Mapleshade Isoblock footers. These are sitting on a custom made 3/4" thick granite shelf that replaced the stock MDF shelf of a Salamander Archtype 2. Bottom shelf is empty, all four threaded rod legs spiked to floor. | |
| The heat of tubes... I know what you mean. I have been thinking about getting the ASL Hurricane monos, but the thought of 200 wpc of KT88s on a double amp stand in my room during the hot weather is making me rethink this for a spell.... Guess I'll live with my ever-so... | |
| Acoustic Gitter LP Suggestions Ry Cooder and V.M. Bhatt "A Meeting By The River" on Water Lily Acoustics.Jerry Douglas "Look Out For Hope" on Sugar Hill (dobro and guitar)Great sonics and performance on both IMHO. | |
| CD signal into a phono stage? 1 word: OVERLOAD. This applys to MC and MM stages. Signal will be so overloaded you would have no way to verify its quality or its ability to pass the much lower voltage a cartridge has. I wouldn't risk it. | |
| Live Jazz Trio Recordings Bill Evans Trio: Live at Town Hall Vol.1 on Verve. Nice recording, virtuoso performance. don't know if it has been repressed, but there are lots of original pressings of it on the used market. I recently picked this gem up on a trip to the Princet... | |

| Inexpensive SACD player....? Sony NS500V. Buy a used one for 150.00 (or less). Not bad stock, but have Matt Anker (SACDmods.com) do the mods for 330.00, and you will have yourself a surprisingly competent CD/SACD player for less than 500.00. Richard Kern also offers a mod pat... | |
| VPI Magic Brick or Webster's Dictionary I bought one VPI brick in 1988. Still have it, used it on everything that I could, and frankly never found a dfference good OR bad in the sound. It is useful for adding mass to the top of a CDP, and looks nicer than some things you could use. My a... |
