SME IV Tonearm and Warped Records

Audio Desk Vinyl Cleaner - power
I have not had this problem with mine, but when I first got mine I had another problem that would not allow the unit to function.  The sensor that monitors the fluids was stuck and would not allow the unit to engage.  I emailed the U.S. distributo... 
Roger Waters Amused To Death

Who makes budget speaker cables which are truly “good” or “exceptional” in quality?
I bought Clear Day Cables Double Shotguns about 6 years ago and absolutely loved them.  Then, recently I decided to try Dueland 14G wire as I had heard good things and they are relatively cheap.  At first I thought they were better than the Clear ...

Audioquest Niagara 5000 or 7000
I recently bought a 7000 and after several hours of listening I can honestly say it has made a significant improvement.  The biggest difference for me is when listening to classical or jazz.  The subtleties of the instruments really come alive com... 
Impulse buy, ad nauseum...
Excuse me, I speak Jive!  The Beatles, Sergeant Pepper's 50th Anniversary Edition.Presumably the vinyl version.   
Best LP Version of Coltrane Alabama
