About Lugnut -- Patrick Malone
Still missing the ole Lugnut. Thanks for remembering guys!Oo. 
Technics sp10 mrk2 or SL-1200mrkII
Macrojack, where does Raul put his arm if he does not have a plinth? He has to have a plinth, if nothing else, to hold the arm... As an owner of a Technics Sp 10 mk II I would never even consider trying to use it without a plinth. Either there was... 
New Rainbow remasterings are awful
Audiofeil, everyone is entitled to their own opinion... I guess. Dio is not Ian Gillian?!?!?! You're right about that! Dio can still sing circles around Gillan in his prime. Dio is one of the best singers ever to record heavy metal. Gillan is, wel... 
What is under $5k speaker with best bass slam?
Harmonic Precision Caravelle's. I have only heard one small speaker that sounded as good but they cost a lot more. Von Schweikert speakers suck!Oo. 
Krell KSA 100 vs KST 100
You need to be aware of the age of the amps you're looking at, the capacitors have a twenty year lifespan at the most. Many do not last that long. A KSA amp could be almost 25 years old. If you need to recap and amp, that could get very expensive.... 
Help w/sale to Ireland, please. Need quick answer
Check into registered mail though if you're using the post office...It's a lot safer.Oo. 
Suspended vs. non suspended turntable
Keith I don't know what you thought of the Sapphire and if you'd go with a Sota product again, but to me they would be a good match for what you're trying to do. You seem to need a suspended table, so if you were to move up in the Sota line, you c... 
Cary 805, deHavilland or Atma-Sphere? Anyone cares
Atma-Sphere is made in the US Cary is made in China. Atma-Sphere is good Cary is... not!JMOOo. 
Who else wants to keep their system secret?
It's the posers and liars that don't post their system!!! They don't have one, but lurk around here pretending to be experts. Those people don't even know which end of the plug goes into the wall!Bunch of MP3 Ipod toting purse carrying losers...Ge... 
Suspended vs. non suspended turntable
A lot of this issue is what you need in your application. I have been using suspended TTs for years, but my system is in my basement. The street where I live has virtually no traffic, so I don't need suspension. If you live in a 150 year old loft ... 
That Elusive Pre-amp bargain....?
If you want something cheap, but that will get you through till you win the lottery, check out the Aragon pre-amps. I used one several years ago, and for the money it was alright. I think it will do what you're looking for right now.Oo. 
THE08: Room: 1510: Artemis, Schroder comments
I have heard everything you mentioned in your post, but not in the combination displayed there. It must have been fantastic! The problem, in the past has been that the soundsmith room and gear was not up to the level of the strainguage. I loved th... 
Is Simply Vinyl UK Out of Business?
I have been getting regular e-mails from them, but they haven't had anything good for a few years. The selection was not very good so I haven't bought anything for probably two years. I guess if I don't get anymore alerts I'll know they're gone. I... 
Turntable or vinylology 101 for newbies.
This has been thoroughly discussed in Good Sound by Laura Deerborn, or The Complete Guide to Highend Audio by Robert Harley. I doubt that anyone is going to post something here that is more insightful or thorough...You should be able to get both f... 
Your First Concert was.....
I just realized that I lied with my post. Years before I saw Blue Oyster Cult, Black Oak Arkansas and Wet Willie, a friend of my parents took my brothers and me to see B J Thomas... forgot all about that, but confession is good for the soul!Oo.
