Looking for a great arm that is low maintenence
Nrchy, the SME is totally maintenance free. I had a IV before the JMW 10.5 and it was completely troublefree and once set, forget it. The JMW however has me reaching for the VTA frequently... 
Vinyl Cleaning Fluid for VPI RCM
After trying all the other fluids, I like RRL products, by far, the best. 
Man, am i losing my hearing?
Slappy, when you do get your hearing checked I predict that you will see a loss in the 4 - 5 KHz range and the profile will look like a sharp shelving drop somewhere in that region. This is consistent with high level listening back in our concert-...

Looking for phono stage recommendations
Just moved from California to Oregon and just before packing it all up the Jolida phono stage arrived. It will be another month or so before the stuff in storage gets delivered to a new house and then set up, so stay tuned. This is sort of an expe... 
I heard the entire catalog of The Who was going to
Excellent News! 
Review: Krell FPB-700cx Amplifier
That Classe amp is quite something too. I remember being at the Montreal audio show back in 1998 and there was a room with Omegas powering Puppy 5s with ML front end pre and cdp. That was the closest yet I have heard to live music. Of course they ... 
Any opinions on PS Audio Power Plants
I also have had the P300 for over three years now with nothing but great performance improvement on all my front end components. I replaced the fan with a super quiet Pabst fan and I can barely hear it. Plus it makes the unit run a lot cooler comp... 
Review: Krell FPB-700cx Amplifier
I believe that Nrchy no longer has those 700cxs...correct? 
Spectacular Drum Set?
Moby Dick by Zeppelin on Classic Records reissue vinyl. Bonzo just gets those flammin kick and toms going and the cones on the speakers start rumblin and shaking. Freaking Excellent. 
Which companies also offer good service??
Thiel Audio and Shari is the epitome of customer service! 
What power is required to drive Paradigm 100's
I used to have Studio 100s V! powered by a Bryston 4BST to excellent success. A Parasound amp will also do the trick. 
Krell KCT switches to standby mode
This has happened to me once since I've had the KCT for over two years now. I remember unplugging the unit and then replugging and rebooting; no problems since and that was well over a year ago. My guess is it was due to a power surge that may hav... 
Amp stands for Krell 450 monos?
I put my 400cx on a Lovan Sovereign amp stand; two of these would be perfect for your 450s. Enjoy those! They are amazingly great amps. 
Best Integrated All-tube Amp?
I agree with Gregc although my tube rolling experience with my 302B so far has been different: JJ Tesla 12AT7s and El34Ls, with Sovtek LPS 12AX7s. For the money I can't believe there is a better value than the gear Jolida is making. I have heard t...
