Dartzeel CTH-8550. RCA vs Xlr
Jtinn...enlighten me.... 
Wilson Audio paint problems
In spite of all those pro Wilson people, I've heard of these problems many times...too many for a product that professes to be perfection. 
O.K. I'm Old/no Techie....how do I
I heartily agree with the Mac Mini. Notebooks have LOTS of noise (primarily from the monitor) which screw up the sound. No depth, air...all confused...true of all notebooks.

Jtinn...only if the circuit is a poor design 
VPI Tonearm connector wire and record tracking
I agree completely with Bifwynne. As for MY setup, I do use a bit of anti-skate with the mechanical gizmo. I found the wire twisting technique not for me, since the springiness of the wire diminishes over time. Cartridge setup is a huge pain in th...

ZYX cartridge looking for advises
The VPI arm is NOT an underachiever. There are those that badmouth it, but if set up properly is a top arm. 
Room Treatment for Corners - Recommendations?
Live plants...not artificial 
Cheapest way to ship large speakers?
I would not ship them unless they were packed in their original box with the original packing material. Any other way you'll be asking for trouble.
