thedautch & Zaikesman -I couldn't help but chime in here on the political comments re: Dems and Reps. yesterday I attended a teleconference broadcast from Washington on the "Patriot" act (yes the quotes are intentional) and the right to privac... 
Your Favorite Holiday Recordings Are?
"Blue Yule". 18 Christmas songs by folks like Lightning Hopkins, Louis Jordan, Poppa Hop, Sonny Boy Williamson, Detroit Junior. All blues, all classic... On Rhino Records. 
Audio Research service
Ditto what John said. I had some work done on an SP 9 MkII preamp a couple of months ago and the turnaround time including shipping both ways was less than 2 weeks; the total bill was less than 100.00 AND the unit came back in brand new double box...

My wife finally got it
TWL, what do you think of the Clearaudio Aurum series, specifically the Beta S? 3mv output MM. It's kind of heavy at 10 grams, but would work in my ProJect arm. Too bad the Denon 103 has such a low output...I used a Denon 300 MC for a while in the... 
My wife finally got it
TWL-If I decide to keep the ProJect and upgrade the cart, I might be looking at something on the order of a relatively HO moving coil or a high quality MM. You had answered my thread earlier on the output voltage of the Denon 103. I have followed ... 
My wife finally got it
A further update to the story: This afternoon she mentioned (without my prompting), "I remember you saying you were thinking about a new turntable. How much are we talking about? As much as the new kitchen?" It's true that I have been thinking abo... 
New Jersey (Southern) Club?
1musiclover-I put this question out there a while ago. There seems to be some limited interest in perhaps getting one started but nothing has happened yet. If you are interested in working with me to get one off the ground, send me an email off li... 
Thoughts On "Bowling For Columbine"
Along with the rights granted us as United States citizens, we also have certain responsibilities to the society that grants us the freedoms we have. We need to focus on the concept of personal responsibility. We are each personally responsible, t...

Twl-What cart would you recommend with the 6.1 TT/SP 9 MKII phono stage? 
Need more punch from my B&W802 III HT setup
Michael-I'm not sure if you look at the Sunfire option, that the CG will give you the "slam" you want. I can recommend highly the Sunfire Signature Cinema Grand at 405x5.I went from 200 watts to the CG signature in my HT setup and have been very h... 
Cars. What does the typical audiophile drive?
I drive a 1999 Isuzu Rodeo so I can haul skis, bikes, fly fishing gear, firewood etc.My wife drives a 1995 Volvo 850 GLT wagon that we bought new and it still runs and looks like new 
sony dvp-ns500v- how's the sound on redbook cd's?
As the owner of one, the SACD is good, marginally good, but good for the price. Redbook - not so hot. HOWEVER: invest in the mods available, and everything improves. For 335.00 dollars, SACDmods.com can turn this player into a very good Redbook pe... 
Surge protection for Bryston amp
If you want to persue something like this, you might consider whole house surge protection right at the electrical panel. I had whole house surge/spike done when I had the dedicated lines for my amp installed. It was about an additional 200.00 to ... 
Senior Audiophiles - Audiophile since the 60-70's?
I'll check in at being really into it beginning in 1972.I wouldn't trade my exisiting setup for an earlier one, but I must say the music was just as much fun then as it is now.My favorite decade was the 70's in undergraduate school. I had a Sansui...
