ARC Ref3 or McIntosh C2300/2500
I have to chime in here as I am a McIntosh guy. I have McIntosh amps and have had a number of McIntosh amps and Pre-amp and Pre-Pros. I currently have a LS26 and would say the REF3 without question. As much as I wanted to by a C2300 when I bought ... 
Linn LK 280 repair needed in Boulder
I agree with Zd542. I live in Colo. And am unaware of any other Linn dealers in the state. Rick at audioalternative has been a Linn dealer for as long as I have known him, at least 25 years. And if you are into vinyl, then you must go, just to see... 
Which Caig?
I have a New Years Day ritual of cleaning my system. I take everything apart, clean each contact with the Signet tool mentioned and also use the Caig brushes. But I either use the Cardas cleaning fluid or the Audioquest ultraconnect Cleaner. Years... 
For Your Amusement, or Dismay...
Interesting article with some points that may be hard to argue with a pro digital person. But at the end I go with what my ears tell me. Sometimes logic vs reality becomes a personal decision, or at least my thoughts?Thanks for sharing. 
Am i obliged to buy when seller refused at first..
From what I see here from the OP, is that he received a refusal to his offer and didn't counter offer. The negotiations ended there. Any return to the "table of negotiation" would have been either a "if you still want to offer X, I accept?" And a ... 
Not what they used to be.
Agreed, and even though I don't buy many CD's, I hate digi-paks. Give me a good old fashioned jewel box. Back to DVD's I liked the old cases they came in as well. Consistancy in packaging makes storage much easier. I guess we are lucky they haven'... 
Zany measurements and theories
I remember reading years ago, that because of the heat generated and vibration created as a stylus tracks a groove.That you should only play that LP once in a 24 hour period to allow it to "rest" from the heat and vibration. Now that seemed pretty... 
Difference in Revel F52 series speakers
I listened to both when they were new to the product line.I own the F32's as the budget wouldn't stretch to the F52's.But I remember that F52's Performa2 had much better delivery and presentation across the board. But I have also listened to the n... 
Audio Research Ref 3...& Krell Showcase 5 poweramp
In my experience with an LS26 and Anthem Statement D2v, that I benefit from having a separate McIntosh MC402 for 2 channel and use 3 of 5 channels on a McIntosh MC205 amp. This allows me to just leave all HT related components off when listening t... 
My Triton Ones are being delivered to me tomorrow
Great fro you Stereo5, I appreciate your excitement. As mentioned in another post, I believe that the full line of Tritons are under-priced for the level of performance they offer. But one word of caution, you state "It will be interesting to com...

FM radio quality reception
Thank you J135, that helps me. 
FM radio quality reception
Just a thought for my own curiosity, but could it be the lack/reduction of UHF and VHF channel broadcast due to digital TV? If I interpret what I have learned about FM and V/UHF through the years. That, they very close in bandwidth and maybe less ... 
Warmish, good tracker & low noise for used vinyl?
Although I haven't owned one, I have friends that have the Dl03 and love it and been very happy. I have owned a Grado Statement Series (long time ago)and always felt it maintained a veil over the music and wasn't revealing enough for my taste's. I...
