Electronic stylus force gauge question
It may just be the way that scale reflects the change of adding weight to the scale surface. I would say that as long as it provides an accurate reading once it locks onto a weight, go with it. By the way I have a Kleos and have it set to 1.75 and... 
New offrerings and MSRP
I think the msrp is announced and remains the same regardless of reviews.The cost of manufacturing doesn't change based upon opinions, nor does the profit margin required to stay in business. I don't believe that Ayre has ever produced a bad produ... 
VPI HW 16,5 vs. Okki Nokki
My personal response is VPI. Reasons: 1)American Built and parts and service readily available. 2) VPI offers tremendous service. 3) machine is built like a tank, I have a friend that has one that is probably one of the oldest in existance and it ... 
why performance increase after pause?
Maybe the wires "relax" and the re-surgence of electron flow re-establishes the path as fresh. Maybe not just the wires but everything in the signal path as well benefits from a pause. I haven't ever noticed this phenomenon but haven't ever listen... 
In Illinois, who can professionally set-up my Linn
If you don't mind shipping it, I recommend Rick at audioalternative.com in Ft.Collins Colo. He can help you pack it for shipping even send you a Linn box if you need. I know that he has people sending him LP12's from as far as each coast and seems... 
Marantz AV7005 vs McIntosh MX-120
I agree, the MX120 is not only built better but will sound better on 2 channel. 
Music that everyone else loves but you just don't
Country & Western....I usually walk out of stores playing it on the PA systems. Not too wild about Mideastern music either.

Ghosthouse, thank you but I need one that covers the whole disc and the one that is that size is intended for topload players. But Thank you for the recommendation. Dekay, thank you again, but the Statmat II has a lot of transparent area that most... 
HELP Can't remember the name of a product
DeKay, thank you and Yes it did have Aural in the name. I couldn't remember that. The one thst I find online is a Ringmat product and it is not solid black. So i don't think that will help me with my issue. I am thinking maybe I can find some blac...

Best Place/Way To Sell My CD Collection?
I am curious as to why thye orginal owner would have to delete them from the server upon sale. What copywrite laws would be infringed upon if I owned them at the time I burned them on the server? Not being sarcastic here, but very curious as I pla... 
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 ...
