Dual-Disc Destined to fail?This reporter thinks so
I hear vinyl might survive the format war. And you can play both sides! 
Jacintha, anyone???
Second, Here's to Ben if you only want one. But once you buy Here's to Ben you be back for more. Then get Autumn Leaves. 
Is it worth purchasing the VPI 16.5?
I sold my NG 1.5 in order to get the VPI and am very pleased in my decision to do so. Much easier to work with and it does a fine job on all vinyl I have cleaned. I agree with Raytheprinter on the brush though. I prefer the Disc Doctor brush but I... 
Mcintosh MA6900 power meter bulb replacement
I have done this a few times on my 7205 and 352 and I can tell you that if you're going to do it yourself. Aquire a de-soldering tool from Radio Shack for about 15.00. This is the best way to remove the old bulbs without getting the traces on the ... 
Velodyne DD Series
I own the DD12 and I beleive they should be adjustable to the same "speed" . The servo control should be the same. 
Norah Jones?
I agree with Zargon. She was fine in the beginning but as time passed, I found her to be dry and lacking emotion in her delivery. Would you like to buy a vinyl pressing of her first LP? 
"Bedini Ultra Clarifier", does it really work??
Jea48Thanks for your reply. I see a lot of unbelievers here but I have a box of tweeks that don't work. I think this one is worth a try. What the hell it is for the betterment of audio right! 
"Bedini Ultra Clarifier", does it really work??
I am considering the purcahse of a Clarifier as the dealer states the same " I don't know how but it does" But he has indicated that the disc be treated for each playing is that the case with your experience? 
Spade's Or Banana's on Double run from Integrated
With a std binding post why not try one cable with a bananas and the other with a spade? It is configuration I am considering on my current bi-wire. Right now I have both run together into one Audioquest Banana, which Timrhu mentions, those are be... 
Could somebody please explain
I agree with Dubin...on the labeling part, not the snob. I think it just gets grouped in a genre unknowingly. To me I have always felt that eclectic was another word for "new age" without any further implications, I guess to keep from association ... 
Do I need better center ch speaker-dialog unclear?
I agree with swampwalker, also what cables are you using?You may want to try a silver based cable and maybe gain a little speed to possibly clarify the dialog. Also the other suggestions for relocating the ctr spkr are good ideas. 
Mac 252, 353, 402?
I own the 352 and have considered and auditioned the 402. The 402 is a 352 with more power and LED lighting. I listened to the 252 but it doesn't have the dual differential output design that the 352 and 402 have, therefore the noise floor is not ... 
Linn Ikemi vs Resolution Audio Opus 21
I have never heard or heard of the Opus 21 but as Ikemi owner I can tell you I have not run across a player that would make me sell or trade. I love the warmth and acuracy the Ikemi retreives from the disc. 
Buy MacIntosh gear w/o auditioning?
As a current and long time Mc owner I can only say I keep coming back. Recently I listened to BAT ampos and decided that they sound better. But I cannot and have decided will not trade away from Mc. Not only is it great and dependable gear. I am a... 
Help my speakers are farting,,,,
Just as a test for this situation, try pulling your girlfreind's finger with the stereo off! She may be forced to confess her little secret.
