| McIntosh MC275 vs Bat VK-60: Anyone compared? The BATs made a few trips from the West coast to the East coast and back (costly).

| McIntosh MC275 vs Bat VK-60: Anyone compared? I've had the VK-60 monos. Very powerful, clean, wonderful sound. BUT... costly, finicky and will roast you in the summertime in a small room.

| Which TT will take me to the next level Ziggy and Wwshull, Go BEYOND the next level. Consider the Lenco idler wheel. This vintage rebuilt table beats the belt drives. You are in the price range for an excellent DIY project, or one already built, ready to spin vinyl. With your nice elec... | |

| Hugh Masekela Listeners Out There ? All the above are great LPs/CDs. When I was a young dude, my older brother brought home an LP called "... of Oooga Booga". It might have been The Education of Ooga Booga, I don't remember. It had Grazin' in The Grass on it and some other tunes whi... | |
| Accepting International Payments Just Got Harder.. Fmpnd, Your response and expertise is greatly appreciated. I just received an International Postal Money Order(s) from Japan and I am not certain these are real. Your explanation has helped me decide to return these and look for a better option (w... | |
| Building high-end 'tables cheap at Home Despot II IMHO the Lenco motor is adequate, if not excellent. Simple design and easy to adjust if necessary. It would be very difficult to spend $1700 for a motor one does not need. But if you do, I'd be happy to purchase your Lenco motor for $25!!! | |
| Building high-end 'tables cheap at Home Despot II Teres, I appreciate your help in clearing this up. It's always risky to put info out there without good, clear information.

| Building high-end 'tables cheap at Home Despot II Lew, It seems what you wait for is not far in the future.A friend of mine is an audio reviewer/writer. He tells me that Teres, maker of high end belt drives, plans to dump the belt drive line (except for there most expensive one) and go with rim d... | |

| Can speaker cables be too thick? I recently had an odd experience. I am not into the technical aspects of electrical phenomena, so no arguements from me.I use tube monos and decided on short, 1.5m Cardas Ref cables for my Avalons and Audio Physics. After about 3 weeks, it seemed ... | |

| Did you see Springsteens latest show??? DREADHEAD,Best to ignore the unbelievers. Bruce loves this country and he speaks it everyday. Wish the poets would speak up and the war-mongers go hang with Rumsfield and his little globe. Those guys have damaged America for generations to come. |
