Speaker wire... Diy?
And this just goes to show how it all can mean nothing as completely system and hearing dependent.I also tried solid core Anticables and they rendered the music lifeless and supremely bass heavy and not in a good way, more a muddied way. Kept them... 
Your favourite Rush albums?
Nice find indeed TableJockey.Just a bit envious!My LRS has literally tens of thousands of great albums Inc Styx, LedZep, Floyd etc.But not ONE SINGLE RUSH album have I ever seen in there!

And GK just throws more gas onto the fire....... 
Sorry to ask this SACD question, but
Glad to hear success Jim!I think what is happening is that even with HDMI turned off in the menu, if the OPPO sees one actually connected( even on the video side) it takes over as priority.Good move! 
So just how much vinyl do YOU own?
Elizabeth.2800 or so is still a lot of vinyl but I have trouble trying to picture how much space 14000 records occupied!I am sure I could not get through that lot in my remaining lifetime.Glad you found the fortitude to seriously cull!Β

@slawΒ I figured you would have more than that as you hardly ever seem to play the same thing twice and are always adding at a rapid pace.Still one heck of a lot of vinyl and glad you are enjoying them.

Prof.I admire your dedication and managing to catalog them through Discogs.It has been on my to-do list ever since an older thread of mine asking how people catalog and sort their vinyl.However meaning to do it and actually summoning up the enthus...

Speaker wire... Diy?
So here is someone who tried various mid level speaker cables ( $2k most expensive) and after purchasing new to me speakers was on the verge of selling them as they just did not sound "right" to my ears.Not what I expected or other reviews had led...

Whoa peopleAnybody who watches my posts knows I am more than up for humour and somewhat snide and snarky posts a lot of the time, jeez louise!But MG does have a valid point.There is a big difference to a thread being derailed by excess troll activ...

TomicBuying lots of vinyl online is also a great way for your neighbours to work out the new postal delivery worker is not too good at reading address.Ask me how I know, met a few nice people local who I never would have this way!

Glad to see there are some fellow "non hoarders" among the brethren.I agree that if I buy an album, play it and find it was not to my liking and am likely to never play it again then there is just no point in keeping it just for the sake of it.So ...
