Women Who Rock
I’ve known a few female drummers, and their lesser physical strength (compared to males) is a definite disadvantage. But they often play with great sensitivity and taste. Very unmasculine ;-) . Cindy Blackman would like to have a word with you ... 
Comparing Phono Pre-Amps
+2 @ghdprentice  I basically no longer do A/B tests.  I prefer to listen for long enough to something that I have a good sense of its sound.  Then listen to the other thing.  If changes are not obvious with that type of listening, I am no longer ... 
REL high Level + Class D amp help pls !
I would think you could just connect the ground wire to the amp chassis and avoid fiddling with a second cable.  
Logitech Transporter Service
Thanks! I found a local guy who is willing to fiddle with it, so i am going to take this page to him.  
Logitech Transporter Service
I still own it and have not figured out the issue.  
Is there anything better than live recordings?
@drmuso if I gave the impression that I did not enjoy Pink Floyd live, that was poor writing on my part. I agree with everything you said. I think you also made the point I was trying to make about DSOTM studio cut better than I did: they used th... 
Is there anything better than live recordings?
To me music makes more sense if it has a setting, and for that reason, I have a strong bias toward live recordings. I will even tolerate a lower quality of sound of the music as a trade-off for having it presented in a venue. Some musicians are j... 
diffuser or absorption panels, which would you choose?
Is there an iPad app that I can use to evaluate my room? I have a acoustical microphone I can plug into my ipad so that's not a problem. The sofware you are looking for is called Room EQ Wizard. I dont think it will run on an iPad, but it will ... 
New to vinyl question
The Sphinx III has adjustable gain for the phono stage.  If the Sphinx II also has adjustable gain, I'd check to make sure it is set at low gain.  The high gain setting would be for a LOMC cart.  You may just be overdriving your preamp on the heav... 
room size question.
@bshaw my room is 12 X 18 but my speakers are along the long wall (yes, sacrilege), so i have a similar depth issue as you. My speakers are WAY out from the back wall nevertheless. (Over 4 feet). This is the result of lots and lots of experimentat... 
Starting Point for Room Treatments?
I'll put in another vote for Room EQ Wizard software,  which is free. Spend some time on the tutorial videos. It takes a bit of time to feel like you are even a novice, but this is a hobby, right?   While I'm at it, I would take a vote away from... 
Vinyl - One Word - WOW!!
Pick up one of the UHQR releases from Analogue Productions, and you'll be even more amazed. Welcome to the party!  
Improve sound
I'm (sort of) with @holmz . For $1k, I think you can make some sonic changes by replacing something, but it may be the sort of thing you like at first but then later realize it doesn't really allow you to enjoy the system more. You did not mentio... 
I have found out why new cables and tweaks actually work!
Hilarious,  and yet I recall seeing a YouTube video not all that long ago by a guy very seriously claiming that running an air purifier a few hours prior to listening would dramatically improve the sound.   
Experiences with the Degritter RCM
I'm curious if anyone here has experience with the degritter versus the Audio Desk Systeme. The latter is purportedly more sophisticated, but does that translate to noticeably better results?
