VPI traveller vs Project rm5.1 vs second hand VPI?
After touching and feeling (and hearing)the Clearaudio Concept at shows I would put the build quality in the same range as the Traveler with Rega not built as well(but sounds as good). The Clearaudio sounded fine and I could live happily with it. ... 
Turntable setup under $2000?
Did you get a chance to audition the Traveler? I have a Traveler/2M Black that sounds quite good, all the bass you could want. I have recently switched to a Blue Point cart to lean out the bass a little. Perhaps the bass situation is the product o...

Top Audio Blu Ray Player Suggestions
Are you looking at a multichannel or two channel application? Second, are you planning to use the analog outs or as HDMI transport into a processor? It's hard to beat the Sabre32 dac used in the Oppo, a big reason this unit sounds so good.

Having just returned from CES & THE SHOW, I had a chance to hear, touch and feel a number of different players. The Oppo is so far ahead of the competition you would probably have to spend over $2500- to enter the Oppo neighborhood. First and ... 
shipping boxes for heavy electronics
At some point you need to use wood/plywood on a pallet to insure safe transit. The big 3, usps, ups, fedex have a poor record shipping our expensive and cherished audio components. Good luck collecting for damages also. I have had a couple of nigh...

What kind of power cord comes with expensive gear
There was a time when a lot of high end gear came with captured power cords and plugs and we all thought it sounded great. As the cable business grew, fewer and fewer captured power cords. Not a coincidence. I have found a bigger difference in one... 
VPI traveller vs Project rm5.1 vs second hand VPI?
I wouldn't start building my first system around a turntable. I would get out and listen to some systems at a brick and mortar first. Find what combination of amp and speaker will sound good to you in your listening room. Monitor or full range, tu... 
Analog setup - do it your self or hire a pro?
The fact that you are even asking this question leads me to believe that you should leave things to the shop owner that has guided you to what appears to be a very good introduction into the world of vinyl. A good dealer is an invaluable assett in...

Black Orpheus tri wires
I have a set of the Black Orpheus that I used to replace Signal Cable on a pair of Alon's that I had. I bought the Blk Orpheus at Carl M (buider of Alon speakers) suggestion and they do not disappoint, they opened the sound up, like lifting a veil... 
Just how good is the Technics SL-1200?
