Audio Reviewers & The Music They Use In Their Reviews
@rjamilla.......................Thats it!  Why didn’t I think of that! 
Whats playing on your system today?
Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, “Damn The Torpedos”on vinyl 
Help me make a decision! Turntable overload
@slaw...…………………………………………………..Yup, that is correct.  Couldn't stand the equipment, many returns, and many came in for warranty work.  Their slogan back in the 70's was "Onkyo, artistry in sound". (yeah right) The audio store I worked in sold the On... 
McIntosh Jumper Plugs alternative
@beyondarkness...…………………………………….I have the McIntosh MA6600 integrated and I replaced the cheap jumpers with the Audioquest jumper cables which cost 30.00. A great investment and a noticible difference in the sound for the better. 
Has anyone tried these stunning new CPT power cord?
I don’t buy it either, but Pink Floyd did reunite in 2005 for a concert and I thought never.  Stranger things have happened, but my gut tells me I am right.  
Focal Aria 936 / Elac Adante AF-61 / Von Schweikert VR-33 , impressions, thoughts?
@uberwaltz……………………………………I had a pair of Devore Gibbon 8 speakers back in 2011.  I drove from Rhode Island to Annapolis, Maryland and back home (800 miles) on Dec30, 2010 to pick them up from an Audiogon member.  I paid 1800.00 for mine back then. ...

Repair diagnosis for cdp with humming tranny
Raysonic is long out of business and doubtful there are any parts available for them.  Perhaps check ebay? 
Insider or Outsider? To be or not to be,...?
Jeez, if Geoffkaitt joins I certainly will not.

Power conditioning for powered speakers
I use GE Triton Reference speakers. Each speaker has an 1800 watt Class D amp for the woofers and they are both plugged into a Shunyata Hydra 4 conditioner.  Sound=fantastic.  
Cartridge for Technics SL-1200G or SL-1200GR
I sold my VPI Prime after getting the SL1200G.  I find the Technics superior.  For the first time, my analog rig bests my digital equipment.  Another plus is no acoustic feedback which I did get with the Prime and the Scout before it. 
Cartridge for Technics SL-1200G or SL-1200GR
@oldschool1948...……………………………………….You do realize the SL1200G is a $4000.00 turntable, where the SL1200GR is a $1700.00 Turntable? I have the 1200G and use a ZU Audio mofified Denon DL103MC cartridge. Breathtaking is how I would describe the sound.
