thoughts on NAD M3
I was looking at the same thing. Overall, the feeling I found was mostly positive overall for the M# and whole Master series. As always, extremely negative or "blew it away" kind of comments are generally disregarded by me as BS or anti brand name... 
VPI Scout Platter-Bearing
No, totally different from the 19. In the Scout platter, the bearing plate, as I call it, is permanently in the Scout platter. The bearing itself is part of the bearing assembly installed to the plinth.

Audio Karma has a whole forum for just Mac, give it a try. 
The Economy.. will hi end audio mfgs lower prices?
WOW, I did not know we had so many economist types here. I'll use a rather straight forward terminology. It's called "cleaning the pipes". If cars and houses do not start to significantly sell in the next 6 months, the system will start to clean o... 
VPI turntable repairs
Will, pardon me, but you came on here all over VPI, asked for opinions, and suddenly forget, you will no longer respond ?At least you could tell us what happened, and the fix, to at least give us an idea on what VPI is doing for us as customers ? 
VPI turntable repairs
Well I and others have had different experiences with VPI on the phone, mine mostly positive, others I know, the opposite.You might try again, and ask for Mike, or just as you say"move on". It is a big world out there, and plenty of ways to listen... 
NAD M5 v NAIT CD5i and CD5x
First off, if you get the M5, get some SACD's, you will like them. !!! Still plenty available new and used, In any case, I own an M5 and love it. Besides sounds great, great build quality, 5 year warranty also. It also does HDCD, and about the onl...

How can you not have multichannel system
I guess I should add my "wall of sound" in stereo SACD, DVD-A and plain old stereo digital and analog does a pretty good job across the board. This does allow me to spend more money on the products and speakers then I would be able to buying surro... 
How can you not have multichannel system
Easy, don't want to spend the money on what is essentially limited in what I would listen to. Yes I have listened to a few Higher end surrounds, and depending on the the source it is OK. But for again the limited amount of music available, and not... 
Walker Vortex Vacuum Wand for VPI
Hi Mark,I just read that also, and said huh ?? The whole thing made me wonder, especially the O Rings, as I would think the record would "tip" and touch the platter when the brush is applied for cleaning ? Maybe I missed something here ? 
HW-19 Armboard Source? Alternatiive?
Hi I just emailed some info on where to find arm boards. But frankly it is not that big of deal. It is either 1/2" or 1" thick piece of black acrylic. You have your existing one for a guide for size and screw holes. Get a Rega mounting template fo... 
Why HDCD did not become a dominant format?
"With the mass-adoption of the DVD format soon after it's introduction, I will never understand why stereo 96/24 never caught on as the next logical step beyond redbook CD for music. I mean, originally, the term "DVD" stood for "Digital Versatile ... 
Linn back in vinyl big time with the LP12 Majik
Sounds like Linn is trying to be more competitive, lots of tables in that range. Interesting as there are as many people who do not like Linn tables as who do. I wonder how many they will sell ? 
Thoughts on "EL-Cheapo" LP flattener?
Sirspeedy, I thought the reflex clamp would help flatten the dish enough for the vacuum to grab it ? I have clamped out any dish I have seen so far on my VPI for the most part. Are we talking dished or bowled here ? I just trying to get a perspect...
