It's been said before, but I'll say it again...
Though I owe it to Fire_Bottle, to whom I just sold an amp, to say that he was a total pleasure to deal with, and made the experience much more enjoyable than usual!Thanks, Kevin. 
Speakers for $140 or less
All, thanks for your help. They do need to be floorstanders, so I think an old pair locally is the way to go. 
Audio Aero Prima MKII v/s Unison Research Unico
Ah. I thought we were discussing the amps, not the CDPs, with which I have no experience. Sorry! 
haunting/dark classical
Quartet for the end of time is a great suggestion. The Brahms Clarinet Quintet might float your boat as well. 
Audio Aero Prima MKII v/s Unison Research Unico
Hmm. I switched from the Audio Aero Mk I to the Unico. Much more detail, much bigger soundstage, just as musical. VERY happy using Raytheon 12au7s. My two cents. 
Is an IPOD hi-fi?
Never heard a normal iPod in my system, but the Red Wine iMod is really great. Easily beat my $1000 CDP. 
iPod directly into amp
Why not go for a cheap but powerful and good-sounding NAD integrated? And if your iPod is 4th generation, get it modded by Red Wine Audio. Stunning sound. 
Phono Section on Unison Res. Unico 80w amp
Hi,I'm currently using the Unico's phono section. I find it to be clean, resolving, and inkeeping with the sweet Unico sound. For a while, I was using an Antique Sound Lab mini phono in its place, but that didn't last. 
Playing Customs Games with Our Northern Neighbors
I was always under the impression that there is no duty on used merchandise. Is that not the case? In my experience, when I've written USED MERCHANDISE on the customs label, there no duty has to be paid.

Pitch problem. Help
Hi all,Thanks again for the advice. I've noticed now that the speed problem is greatly alleviated late at night, though it's never perfect. This leads me to believe that crappy power is indeed the culprit. Since my TT has a captive power cord, I'l... 
favorite SOPRANO?
Barbara Bonney, anyone? 
Pitch problem. Help
Hi,Interesting, Stefan. As it stands, everything is on the power conditioner. I'll try plugging the amp into the wall tonight, though I'm not so keen on giving up the surge protection. I just called the Project people, and I can't use the speed bo... 
Pitch problem. Help
Hi folks,Thanks very much for the advice. I did a bit of research on the Project speed box. The price is certainly right. I'm not optimistic, though, that it'll work with the Goldring table. I'll call musicdirect tomorrow and see. I'm definitely l... 
DC Metro
Hi folks,I'd be very interested in joining the club. I live near the Eastern Market. No car, though. Are most of these meetings metro-accesible?
