ET 2 Owners - feedback please
Thanks for the replies so far. I have purchased a Campbell Hausfeld air tank. Now, what have you guys done in terms of air supply. Who has stuck with the stock pump, who has changed to the Wisa pump, and what other options can be suggested? I saw ... 
ET 2 Owners - feedback please
Ecclectique, what did you construct your surge tank from? I have considered using 6" pvc and pvc end-caps to make one. Any 'gotcha's' to be aware of? 
CD and/or LP collections. Is it about the music?
Currently, about 5000 LPs, 400 45s, 50 reel to reel (mixed 10.5" & 7"), about 330 CDs, 60 csss. & 40-60 78 rpm disks. I generally listen to a whole disk/LP, and like others above, tend to go in streaks where I follow a specific group, soun... 
VPI vs Nitty Gritty
I think it depends on what you consider to be better. I owned a NG 1.5FI and washed about 4500 LPs and 700 45s on it. During that time, I replaced the record spindle several times, the V drive puck several times, the cleaning lips many times (ever... 
Tice Power Block for powering Video Projector?
I also have and use a Tice Powerblock (and Titan). I would suggest, if you decide to go with that unit, that you consider upgrading the outlets in it, and maybe replacing the power cord with a better one. Also check to see if the ground has been c...

The (Mighty) 808s, tri-wired 
Too many boxes
Two 10X 25 storage lockers with 15 ft ceilings. Build lofts, and keep ladder in locker. Costs $90 a month for both but at least my house is less cluttered. 
What stand does you Turntable sit on?
A Lead Balloon atop the Delta Tower. Legs of the Delta Tower are lead shot filled, and spike fitted. Whole affair sits on a carpet covered wood floor that has been braced from below in basement. Bought it 12 years ago from the then downtown Grand ... 
Krell Amp Power Cord Upgrade?
I have tried a number of power cords on my Krell MDA-300 amps and think the Chris VenHaus designed DIY power cords offer the best performance for the price. Several members of this site have kits, they sell, to produce this cord, if you are so inc... 
Tice Power Block II / Titan
I am currently using a power block & titan combo, and am happy with that setup. All front end components are run through the power block/titan combo - the mono amps are each on their own 20 amp circuit with just upgraded power cords and hubbel... 
Modify/Tweak Monster Cable HTS-2500 conditioner?
Similar condition - I am replacing the power cord on my Tice power block with a chris VH power cord, and am also replacing the outlets with Hubbel cryo 8300 units. May also look to replace internal wire with 83802 belden. Good luck with your project. 
Advice on power conditioner
I would strongly agree with Sean concerning the Chris VH power cords. I have put together a mix of models numbering about 16 of these, and tried them on a host of different equipment, all with great results. If Ernie has put together a kit with al... 
Wire vs. Vibration vs. Power Cond. is best?
I don't think there is one 'correct' answer for this question. Is the starter system is something from Snircuit City or Best Poop, a mid-fi collection; what is 'nothing or the worst quality'? I think you need to define a baseline here. I have take... 
Speaker priority: high or low???
Now, I am just a fat little boy who works for a cheese company, but in my experience, I can live (and sometimes quite well) with lesser speakers, if they are driven with better electronics. The reverse is not true. My main system is posted. I have...
