Inexpensive 2 channel in-wall for front? Polk?
look like other in-wall speakers, none of which I can audition without full installation. All about the same price. Has anybody here actually used any of these?? Maybe I should go with the best return policy LOL. 
Inexpensive 2 channel in-wall for front? Polk?
Actually haven't heard them and there doesn't seem like there is anyplace to audition them. I suppose my question would be: For $500 which in-wall speaker and sub would you purchase. I'm buying from (gulp!)reviews. One person stated Emotiva, so I'...

"What I like in traditional speakers" That would be out of my price range :) Thanks! 
Miles Davis The Original Mono CD's
For the KOB, is this the same re-mastering being offered at HDTracks as download? 
Miles Davis The Original Mono CD's

just starting - mac vs. windows computer source?
my point at AA. For your situation the devil might be in the details, but your saving grace will be in your DAC/Converter.

Downloaded 3000 CD's To External Hard Drive
Take your time! Start with 10 or so cds. Rip in dbpoweramp as FLAC. FLAC by far is the easiest to tag. FLAC is identical (bit perfect) to WAV. dB will bring in metadata/cover art. Cover art will show in the music directory as folder.jpg. Every alb...

Linn Sondek Isolation
I made my own out of 5/8 plex approx an 1 1/4 inches larger than the LP12 on each side. For the legs, I used 1/4 inch bolts and 2 nuts (one on for the top of the base and one for the bottom). This allows me to adjust each bolt for a perfect level ... 
Rolling Stones CD Remasters 2002?
I was checking out the Artistdirect Ludwig page and notice this: Let It Bleed (Japan). Does that mean that this is a special japanese release? Can I get it domestically? 
Anyone use a hockey puck as a record weight?
Why not. Find the exact center, stick on a drill press. The hole only needs to be deep enough to clear the spindle. Just make sure your TT allows a weight to be used. I have an LP12 and Linn does not recommend it. 
Rec's for a dull sounding analog system
PatrickamoryMaybe dull is the wrong word. I compare it to my wadia 301 cd player (that's all I have to compare it to), and maybe I'm asking a bit to much, but I would like the dynamics and clarity of my lp12 to come as close as possible to my digi...
