Am I crazy? Definitely!
I hate to say it, but upgrading the arm of the RP6 to an RB880 or RB3000 (you sound like you're willing to throw a good amount of $$ at your itch) will really improve your sound and you will appreciate how much everything else sounds better. It pr... 
Gripped By Upgrade Fever
Subs with small speakers make sense. Especially if they are preconfigured/sold as a complete speaker system. Those small speakers can't get down to the really low frequencies by themselves. Subs with floor standers don't, unless you are doing some... 
Speaker Spike Philosophy
See what the speaker manufacturer recommends. Some come with stands or spikes or some nothing at all, and some with options (not sure why floor standers would come with options).KEF floorstanders have a nice set up - extended arms screwed into the...

He should try a 911. I have more room in that than I did in my '05 4Runner. By a good amount - especially leg room.

True. Every try to get in a newer NSX? Im 6' and guaranteed to hit my head getting out of it. Other than that, it's a great car and you can get them due to Acura's (Honda's) inept marketing.

@jss49- I was talking about the GTS Cayman. I am a sunroof guy so I have a 911 GTS that has a sunroof. The GT#s are the track cars that typically don’t offer sunroofs because for the added weight.I think there was a GT3 with a sunroof option for a... 
Jazz listening: Is it about the music? Or is it about the sound?
I remember jazz mainly by album. There are so many combos of this guy playing with that guy or that quartet or quintet. I like the classic bebop or hard bop more that the fusion/funk/modern whatever you want to call it. Although there are some tha... 
For all you Vinyl lovers!
OK for the cost no object "in" crowd in NYC who will get his stuff because they are keeping up with the Joneses. I'm sure it sounds great.He couldn't even give ballpark pricing (other than hundreds of thousands of dollars) and his website is very ... 
Soft, smooth organic SS integrated amps?
Try to find a used Plinius. New ones are pretty expensive. I was told to never get rid of my integrated 8200 MKII. 
Stirring Up Trouble
Excellent discussion. Should end a lot of highly contentious arguments. Some people like the smell of gasoline!MC's video almost had me hypnotized. I thought they were going to ask me to join a cult at the end.My only comment is there are SOME uni...

@millercarbon - we are in agreement on this issue! Better Records should have the best record cleaning process. It’s central to what they do. They charge much more than I’d pay for any record, but I can see them succeeding in the cost no object ma...

I guess pristine is the wrong word to use @cleeds. If I wanted perfect, I'd have to deep clean them every time I play them.Life is full of compromises.....let's just call them excellent.

I agree lewm. It can't remove grunge. However, if a record is not fingerprinted and kept in a rice paper sleeve other than when being played and has the dust removed each time, inside a record jacket (or sometimes 2) inside an outer plastic sleeve...

My fiber brush removes dust. I clean that off every time before I play a record. I clean the record mat when any dust is visible. I am sure that there are records dirty enough that the oil from fingerprints affects the sound. Mine aren't. Most aud... 
Vinyl Accessories - Skip It or Buy It!
My opinion for record cleaning machines is that they are useful if you buy a lot of used dirty records. I try to keep mine pristine and only use a carbon fiber brush to remove dust. Most of my records are new, and if I get a used one it is NM or f...
