Record Cleaning Again
I read through this, and it looks like a record cleaning machine will be my next purchase (got a new TT last week).Fortunately for me, I find that quirky things like cleaning records makes listening more enjoyable. Maybe I can find some extra step... 
Rogue Audio has released a new line
Great, the one day I don't check the website...Anyway, the Metis preamp still looks great. Time to start saving those pennies!

Dave --I'm not much of a chocolate eater, although chocolate milk is responsible for my screen name...Anyway, I'll give them a call on Monday. It's always fun to talk to the guys behind the gear. 
Rogue Audio has released a new line
Does anybody know when these are supposed to be released? The Metis has me very interested.And by chance, does anybody know what the output impedance on the preamp would be?Can't wait to see some reviews -- especially with the integrated phono pre... 
Whats on your turntable tonight?
Tonight -- everything I have. I just got my second table after selling my first last year. 
Not much buzz about BAT lately?
I guess I would rather live somewhere where the dealer doesn't have demos or stock than live somewhere where there are no dealers. Like Memphis, where I'm living now. 
Not much buzz about BAT lately?
I have no problem with no stock, but I do have problems with no displays. A dealer doesn't even have to carry the entire line, but should at least have some pieces representative of the line. So with BAT, they should have at least 1 tube and 1 sol...

High End Audio Dealers
I think we're going to see a lot more home-based dealers in the future. The lower costs compared to having a store front helps them to stay competitive, and the lack of salesmen USUALLY helps keep the sleeze level down.I'm not saying all home-base... 
Mini Mac as audio server?
Why not get one with a wireless card installed, get an Airport Express and use an optical cable into a DAC? That would be ideal, imo. That way you can control your music where you're sitting and still use a quality DAC.

Pace, Rhythm and Timing. Defining it, as with most audiophile terms, is more or less an exercise in futility. 
Looking for colored sound. . . I think.
What speakers do you have the NAD matched with? 
new directions in amplifier design
It's true-- the variety is one of the joys of this hobby. I personally can't stand individuals who pollute message boards with "I can't believe you use XXX when YYY technology is so superior at producing ZZZ effect!" The marketplace has shown that... 
Super Scoutmaster or Teres?
Isn't VPI supposed to release a JMW 9 tonearm with an antiskating device sometime early next year? 
I Am At Your Mercy
I live in Memphis as well (Bartlett actually) and would love to help. It would be nice to talk to another person around here interested in audiophilia.Anyway, I've had some experience with most of the equipment that you're interested in. Email me ...
