Is there a great LP12 set-up person in SoCal?
The guy in Fort Collins Colo. does a great setup on LP12's and does ship them all over the US. You might conact him at sales@audioalternative.com. If you don;t have a box he can ship you a new LP12 box as he keeps them in stock. He has done mine a... 
Cary SLP05 vs. Audio Research LS-26
So in comparison to the REF3(on the want list) what could expect in terms of detail, soundstage, and your opinion of is it over analytical/sterile? Or would you say warm with detail?

Vinyl pops and clicks: Can they be eliminated??
This is a frustrating nature of the vinyl beast. All you can do is clean them the best you can. Accept that the surface noise is a trade off for the better more natural sound of vinyl over digital. You have to train your ear to hear the music and ... 
Martin Logan Aerius i or Vandersteen 2Ce ???
I agree I am not much for her voice, style or political views. But that nose must create quite a vacuum. Turbunoids d'zur I am sure! But in my opinion, I would go with ML's as electrostats seem to be more prone to reproduce finest of details. 
Ayre vs Bel Canto?
As just an injection of advice only. I would wait till you get your Ayre back. As mentioned it was failing and may have been deteriating the sound quality of a period of time. And as we grow older a day at a time, we don't recognize the difference... 
Vacuum Tube Chess Set

Mcintosh Integrated design question...
Your best and most accurate answers will come from McIntosh call either Chuck Hinton or Ron Cornelious the 800 number is on the website. They are both very informative. 
What of your CD's have good sonics?
I agree it is about the music as well, however if it is a bad recording or transfer that dimishes the enjoyment considerably. I compare it to attending a concert of a favorite performer with bad acoustics and crappy speakers. It doesn't do the art... 
We Need An Audiophile TV Channel
Even if a one hour show were dedicated to Audiophila it would eventually be dominated by whom ever has the biggest advertising budget. TV would be nice but I think we should build a temple! Where Audiophiles can go and see and hear equipment, have... 
PSB Imagine vs Paradigm Studio 60 vs Revel F12
I agree with Hesson11 on the size ratio. I have heard the F12 and own the F32. But the F12 is a big speaker for that size of room. Although I love my F32s I have heard Paradigm paired with Anthem and it has a synergy that you probably will have di... 
Will there be any 'Arrow' mark in a Fuse holder?
I agree with MoFi in that the fuse does make a difference. Maybe not in all systems but I used the Furutech in my LS26 and noticed improvment. It makes sense, if the A/C cable is upgraded why would all that expense stop at a fuse? This is MHO of c...

Link of the day
The Gladiator had how many seats?? That is impressive to see what imagination can do with money. I was excited just get surround sound. I guess I am one of those that stays on the porch.
