| target turntable shelf-how much weight That's a very good idea about using the oak board as an attachment device. I may go that route some day, when I really feel like tweaking (and if I can get the screws back out of the wall--I used long stainless deck screws to make sure I hit the "... | |
| Acoustic Zen Hologram II or Satori Shotgun I love my Satori Shotgun with my Bel Canto Ref1000 mkII. I agree it leans to the slightly warmer side, which should be good for your Parasound amps, which can tend to graininess in the mids, IMHO. Very nice with vocals, good staging, and black bac... | |
| target turntable shelf-how much weight I just installed one. The WW1 I believe it is spec'd at 70 lbs capacity. You can install drywall anchors for the center holes and use studs for the outside screws. That's what I did and it is supporting my Marantz TT15 just fine. But that's only 1... | |

| Albert Von Schweikert VR-4 That's a good price. I have VR4 SR Mark II and love em. I also have a pair of VR1 monitors for a second system (not hooked up now). I think VS speakers are a bargain for the used price and very fun and easy to listen to. They give you plenty of de... | |
| Eric Clapton Clapton Chaz--yes Layla is my desert island album. I Agree it's completely inspired and passionate and agonizing Amd revelatory and hallucinatory and sad and happy and sloppy and tight and everything Clapton is not as of late. This is the album I listened... | |
| Eric Clapton Clapton Chaz, I posted both comments you refer to. Why is my comment off base? They were all smashed for Layla. Look at the photos inside the album. We are on the same page. Re-read what I wrote originally. I do hold that Clapton's best work comes before ... | |
| Eric Clapton Clapton I think they had chemical assistance on Layla. That would explain the faster and sloppier playing on that record. | |
| Eric Clapton Clapton Clapton only rocks if he is playing with musicians who challenge him. I know he has "been there, done that," but it does seem his work of the past 20 years has not seen him challenging himself as he could be. Clapton Unplugged was his undoing I be... | |
| The Wall: Roger Waters 2010 I was at Boston also and will go to Dallas show. My favorite album of all time represented in the latest technology video/light show. The band was pretty good, three guitarists to replicate Gilmour. 95% of Gilmour's musicianship. GE Smith was the ... | |
| Long intereconnects - Phono to Pre? Try and see. Balanced should make this setup work. As long as you have the cables what's to lose? | |
| Luxman l-509u or Accuphase E 450 A friend has the Luxman you are considering and it sounds nice--warm, spacious and deep soundstage, runs cool. I am not sure I'd consider it as the last word in dynamics however. Tell us about your room, source, specs on your speakers, other infor... | |
| The Hub: Just how bad is it in high end audio? A broader cultural change is occurring with a younger generation who may not see buying a home, settling down, etc as their future. They can't depend on an employer for security. They will rent and change jobs more often than ever. Highly mobile w... | |
