audiophiles get mention in today's WSJournal
How does the WSJ know which is the better product?If most people picked the other one, maybe it is the better product, and not the one the WSJ thinks is better.The one the WSJ thinks is better might be an overpriced piece of hype. Not all that unc... 
Turntable REPAIR wanted in Charlotte NC
Sadly, the best place for you to go in the entire USA was until recently The Turntable Factory in South Carolina. For those who did not know; owner Joel Thorner passed away last year after a long illness.I think one of his employees has taken over... 
Sound Anchor vs Skylan stands?
Everyone's taste is different. The only way to be 100% sure is to buy a pair of both, and re-sell the one that loses in your own personal face-off.Isn't the small loss on the one you re-sell worth the investment in your system, knowing you have th... 
Tube integrated amps
Blue Circle has a new unit called the DAR.http://www.bluecircle.com/index.php?menu_id=4948. 
"The Death of High Fidelity"
It is also that Pop artists use to record in large professional studios. Now that digital equipment is cheap and does not take up a lot of space, a lot of them have their own studios at home. I wonder if the same care is taken by whoever monitors ... 
Conrad Johnson vs. McIntosh Tube Gear
It is mainly a matter of taste. I am not sure any of us can really tell you what to do. 
How do you download your LP's to your computer?
If you have a phono preamp; just want to listen; and don't care otherwise; you could just run a pair of cables between the phono preamp and the soundcard line input. The cable (from RatShack) would have a pair of male RCAs on one end and a small h... 
Use of RCA Y Splitters?
The preamp is sending a signal out. It should not really matter what is on the receiving end. You're talking about the output end of the amps. Should have no effect on the preamp in any case. 
Use of RCA Y Splitters?
Should work fine. Many preamps with two pre-outputs are really just split inside instead of outside with Y adapters. 
How can I transfer my records to cd? Best quality
The better question is not what software, but what hardware.You basically need an analog to digital converter, which is the opposite of a DAC. You can spend anywhere from $100 to $1000 or more for one. 
is there a stereo blue book for value of old gear
Is your old gear fairly common? You could search current and closed auctions on eBay. They usually show everything at least 30 days back, sometimes more.Search similar gear as well; for example "Kenwood Tuner" or "Marantz Receiver". You will get a... 
If you started over what would you do differently?
I am not sure I would do anything differently if we are talking audio equipment here. I like my system. To do something different would mean not liking my system. There is no need to go back and change things, since there is nothing stopping me fr... 
musical subwoofer recommendation for 2-ch
No, smaller REL's will not be more articulate. REL's are not "boom boxes".REL's particularly the Audiophile versions will be more refined the more you spend; no different than a higher end speaker is more refined. They are after all made to work w... 
musical subwoofer recommendation for 2-ch
The REL's all work basically the same way. That is a big room. So get the biggest you can afford.Or.... if your budget can fit it, actually get two subwoofers; one for each stereo channel. If the subs are of very good quality, stereo subs are bett...
