| Equipment Rack - How important in the grand scheme of things? Thanks for the explanations millercarbon. Sounds like the BDR cones do have a substantive difference from the vibrapods in their design and materials to justify the extra expense. I’ll go with three per component as you recommend. Next I’ll read u... | |
| Equipment Rack - How important in the grand scheme of things? Tomic601, I’ll be looking forward to the results of your tests. I’m planning to put the cones and discs under my amp like you, as well as the CD/SACD player. VPI recommends not to place isolation feet under their Classic 2 turntable. I suppose the... | |
| Equipment Rack - How important in the grand scheme of things? Millercarbon, would you know if the BDR Cones and Round Things are substantially better than the Vibrapod equivalents? They are substatially more expensive and I’m wondering if there’s enough difference to warrant that extra expense. Anyone else w... | |

| Magico vs the world Appearance is part of build quality. Outside of how they sound, Magico designs their speakers to stylishly fit into a rooms decor in a restrained manner as possible for something that size. To my mind many, if not most, other floor standing speake... | |
| what's your opinion on the magazine 'stereo review'?? What a blast from the past. I had subscriptions to High Fidelity, Stereo Review, and Audio way back when and enjoyed reading each one of them when they arrived. That's how I learned what little I know about stereo equipment. The record reviews wer... | |
| Separates or Integrated? What makes more sense? Millercarbon, what is it about the Raven Reflection MkII integrated amp you like so well above others in it's price range? It is sharp looking and made in America, but what else in terms of audio performance strikes your fancy? Mike | |
| You could work for any manufacturer, past or present... Whoever invented and was making those small suitcase looking record players used for playing 45 rpm singles. They provided more people more fun than the most expensive systems ever could. Lo-fi, hi-fun. In second place whoever invented the transis... | |

| Badly recorded albums needing upgrading Ethiessen, that's a clever idea to download high resolution files onto Redbook CD-R's if that gets better results than buying the Redbook cd off the shelf. I don't do any downloading myself, but other's certainly do, and could benefit from your id... | |

| Badly recorded albums needing upgrading Tablejockey, man, they want $500 for the copy of Layla you provided a link to at Better Records. I do all right financially, but not to that degree. The Japanese SHM SACD that arrived yesterday will have to do. "Little Wing" is really good as you ... |
