Are my CAT5 and router my weak link?
Personnally I believe that you are transmitting data and that the DAC and Router are probably designed to work with mediocre wire. Although I see that some companies such as AudioQuest are offering high-end cabling for ethernet and Cat7. So maybe ... 
Best Place/Way To Sell My CD Collection?
Look at any rare or audiophile CD's you have and send them to me:) No actually sell those as a singular sale and as mentioned build a list and auction the rest in lots of whatever size of lot you want to deal with. I think you will do better to se... 
RevelF32 in good shape, or RevelF50 in bad shape?
Yba-us, the decision is ultimately yours to make. Non of us have a dog in the fight. But as Loomisjohnson suggests, I add that concur with his opinion. Buy the newer technology and speakers that you know are in good working condition. Sometimes th... 
RevelF32 in good shape, or RevelF50 in bad shape?
As an owner of F32's I can tell you that I looked at Revel for a few years before I bought and the F30 as well as the F50 were on my wish list. Then I was told the F32 and F52 were about to be released, so I waited. My thought is by the F32 since ... 
VTA and HTA overhang
TomThanks, I didn't realize the "donut" excisted. And i gatehr from what you are stating that you have found it to have no effect on sonics? I wonder how it would perfom on a suspended table like my LP12. I guess I should research this as an option.

Anyone Using An FM Transmitter?
I was looking at the "wholehousefmtransmitter" and think I will try it,as it has a 120 day in home trial period. If it isn't satisfactory I get a Ramsey. Thanks for your help. 
Anyone Using An FM Transmitter?
Thank your the reponse. How extensive is nthe assembly process? Is it just a few soldering joints or does it require test equipment to set it up? 
Anyone Using An FM Transmitter?
Onhwy61, which model are you using. I have a cheapo FM transmitter that is pretty much useless and have been in search of something that will work. I see a couple on amazon. My need is confined to my shop, so that I can broadcast to my hearing pro... 
Frank Zappa?
I have been waiting for some audiophile pressings, or have I missed them? 
VTA and HTA overhang
One thought I have that has crossed my mind a few times in the past when thinking about LP's varying thicknesses. Why hasn't someone come up with either a shim or different thicknesses of mats. Then one could place a thicker shim or mat on the pla... 
stone wall behind the audio rack and speakers
Sandstone. No problem, and I do agree. Not having a dedicated room is a bummer. Especially in the age of the ever growing TV.

Peterayer as it appears, I tried to edit my secon post to which you refer, and it vanished! But what I wanted to add is that I had omitted from my thoughts that you are working witha 12" arm whereas mine is a 9" arm. Those changes would be more dr... 
stone wall behind the audio rack and speakers
The question that comes to mind in that photo is are the DyneAudios facing each other just while the Utopias play or do they actually play them firing at each other? But having the rough texure should help. I have an issue where my TV is between t...

If your read Fremers article a few months back in Stereophile he emphasizes that the Rake Angle is more crucial to the playback of lps. I recently had mine adjusted and I will attest that Fremer is correct. I attended the Music Matters gathering a...
