Best sounding Hard Rock
Rush has been reissuing their entire catalog for the past couple of years, and as a long time fan I recently bought Moving Pictures on vinyl, pressed at QRP.  It's the best I have heard this record.  It makes me want to buy others as well.  Hemisp... 
Dave's Picks 24
Agreed garebear.  This one is special.  I put in disc one last night only planning to listen to 2-3 tracks but ended up playing all of disc one.  Sound quality is fantastic but the real treat is the performance.  Tonight I will also get in the rig... 
Most overrated bands
This is likely to piss some of you off, but musical taste is just that.  No one is required to like any particular artist.- Bruce Springsteen (I used to love him but now I can't hardly hear his music without cringing)- Steely Dan (I still like the... 
50 of the best hi-fi albums for audiophiles
Agreed that AFTP would not be on my list.  Reckoning is a much better choice in the REM realm, at least for me. 
Most overrated bands
Dare I suggest Radiohead?No you may not!  They are brilliant.  Your brain just hasn't adapted yet.  :) 
Duelund 16g Speaker Wire Question
Yeah, thanks for the link.  Very cool! 
Duelund 16g Speaker Wire Question
Thanks lak for the tip!Also, just wondering if doubling a 16g wire would effectively result in an 8g?  As you can tell this is new territory for me.Peter 
Duelund 16g Speaker Wire Question
Length is 3 meters, so around 10 feet per.  Yes I'm using the 16g tin plated wire you listed.  I wondered about twisting them so I'll try that.

otherone, they only make quantities available that weren't sold through subscriptions.  My guess is just a few thousand were available for general sale.  The more popular eras sell the quickest, and they always sell out.  The best thing to do is s... 
LP's... Do they sound better now than 30 yrs ago?
I think, first of all, that the availability of affordable high quality equipment is better today than it was 30 years ago.  I also think that the premium quality vinyl today is better than the premium quality vinyl of yesteryear.  What isn't grea... 
New Budget phono from Parasound
I just upgraded my JC3 to a JC3+.  The 3+ is a lot better than the 3, which is amazing considering how great the 3 sounds.  I won't be buying a Jr but I think it's great that they are making a more affordable version.  They even added the variable... 
Hana SH vs ortafon 2m Black
It might be worth considering a step-up transformer for your Hana cart.  Parks Audio makes one that is not too expensive and gets good reviews.  http://parksaudiollc.com/index.html#txt_162SUTs are used with the MM setting on your phone preamp and ... 
Forgive my ignorance. Now to start over. . . .
Lots of good suggestions so far, so I thought I would chime in.Last year I bought a used Clearaudio Emotion as a second deck.  I bought it on Agon for $1300.  I decided to hook it up to my main system for a comparison to my Clearaudio Performance ...

SME vs. Clearaudio Turntable Comparison - Thoughts?
I got the SME 20/2 w/IV.Vi tonearm a couple of weeks ago.  No tonearm cable was included and since I didn't know this until everything arrived I had some delay in setting it up.  I ordered a cable from Audio Sensibility in Toronto as I had heard g...
