Are record rumors true?
Hey Killer, couldn't ghet the site to work, why don't you enlighten us all instead? 
Bookshelf/Monitor suggestions.
Paulwp, Sorry if email was a disturbance. Yes I have a pair of P3's in my den system but they are not mine. The pair I heard at a used record store in Washington DC metro area are P3. What I'm trying to asceratain through this thread was more know... 
Bookshelf/Monitor suggestions.
All are good suggestions so far but I must admit to being surprised of no mention of the Spendor 3/5's. Since the Harbeth I heard is essentially the same, I wonder if anyone who has made a suggestion so far (to which I am grateful) has compared th... 
Information on GARRARD 301 turntable
Vayateve;I would appreciate the referral. 
NAD 3020 a viable option for a quality system?
Guess I'm in the minority. I think the NAD 3020 and it's variations are a true quality product. Mine is 3020B (the 3020A differed in that it had a mono switch on the front and a a MC/MM phono switch on the back) and I have driven everything from T... 
How does one get off the merry-go-round?
Sounds to me like people are getting their priorites back in line with what"s important, the music. Wehamilton, I salute your attitude. Mine is very similar. If you enjoy music for it's own sake it doesn't matter what you listen to it on per se. I... 
need help on minimal analog set-up
Get yourself a used NAD 3020. It's phono section is very respectable. I still have mine and I use it in my study office. It can drive any speaker system to decent levels without strain and accomodate most cartirdges. It sounds great with Spendor/R... 
Which record brush?
Anyone ever use the DECCA? 
Muddy Waters from Classic Records
This is exactly why this hobby is dying. To re-fi MOFI is rediculous. Does anyone really need anymore versions of Folksonger? Did anyone buy the DVD version by Classic? An excellent album indeed but it's a big so what at this point. What are we to... 
How does one get off the merry-go-round?
Detlof; I do wish I were wrong. I live here in Washington DC. Of the four remaining audio stores in the area (there once were eight) they all consider themselves high end. You can get the best in electronics and turntables. Exactly NONE of them ca... 
LS3/5A vs. LS3/5A
Can anyone explain in simple terms why the high impedence? Seems lik every variation of this speaker is well over 8 ohms. Why? 
How does one get off the merry-go-round?
Detlof: I don't mean to be pessimistic. My assesment comes from being associated with an audiophile company. I was at the Stereophile show in NY in 1996. Audio is more like a small club with rich members.Very select group.Manufactures have to impr... 
Ear Candy: Most startling recordings.
One of my most recent discoveries is the Persuaions singing Frank Zappa. I don't have it as yet but what I've heard is beautifully strange! 
Your favorite blues album?
If you can only have one Muddy Waters album in your collection, make it Muddy Waters Sings Bill Broonzy. Whatever an original Chess costs, it's worth it. Also, does anyone besides me wish Steve Ray had made an acoustic album? An opportunity tragic... 
How does one get off the merry-go-round?
I got off the merry go round after attending a Stereophile show and met some of the circus clowns. Just because so and so uses this or that as a reference or purchased an item means nothing to me now! Most are over obsessed babies when you disagre...
