DIY TT platform Marble to Wood Changeover
You are wayyyy overthinking the whole thing. Why do so many people on this site not trust there own ears and instincts? Instead they ask many trivial questions that are easily discoverable by using the search funtion or using their own ears and ex... 
How to break in a tube preamp?
If it makes you feel better and you think that the "break-in" time is needed then do it as you described. I would listen every night and let it run the rest of the time with the cd player on repeat and the amp off. The main point is that you enjoy...

Worth Going to 'THE SHOW' IN NYC IN APRIL
Hard to say at this point. It is awfully depressing to see so little interest from major companies with only two months to go. How do they expect patrons to make plans and book reservations when the list is so underwhelming?Does not speak well for... 
value question
The market sets the price for whatever you sell. What are they worth to you? Do you like the music and will you ever listen to it?You can list them in an auction with a reserve that makes you feel comfortable to let them go at that price or above.... 
For Krell owners, keeping the amp on all the time?
Not a Krell owner, but I don't think it matters with this question.I leave all solid state audio equipment on 24/7 unless I am out of town or there are lightning storms predicted for my area. (Amp, Pre and CD player) I turn on my turntable and pho... 
What is "low ball"
I have offered less many times on items listed with "no low ballers" or similar stated in the ad. CLOSED MANY, MANY DEALS! I ignore such statements. It is used to make people think that the item is somehow exceptional and the seller is not willin...

As a public service to us all I think everyone who has used Paypal on this site should contact Paypal like Bjim suggested and let them know this cavalier attiutde and ass-backwards system (BML) needs tighter controls. Remember the "sqeaky wheel ge... 
Converting cables to ICs
If it were me, I would find a young person who had an interest in music and help them build there first or improve there current system. Give them away and offer them the benefit of your knowledge and help perpetuate our hobby. Cutting them down ... 
Best way to balance 4 spike speakers
Use a three spike/foot platform underneath them. Now, wasn't that simple? 
Best speaker in the $5-10K range. Details below.
If you are not willing to go out and listen to speakers that are in your price range then I think that you should keep what you have and convince yourself that you just bought them and they are wonderful.Asking for recommendations from strangers w... 
FYI Anyone can use your Pay Pal account
That is a real shame. Thanks for the heads up. ** I only keep $10.00 in the account to keep it open. I only fund my account when I am going to make a purchase. I also have it tied to moderate credit line card so that it can be funded immediately w... 
Nixeus Fusion HD... Need to choose HDD
I would try to use a Solid State hard-drive to keep the OS on and to use as a medium to store your "Now Playing" files if you plan on using memory mode. (40-60GB about $69). Keep the rest on SATA II drive. 
The best digital IC, period.
Excellent News. I am quite content to put this topic forever to rest. Thank you Rpg for finally settling this question. Amen! I feel really, really sorry for those who have spent one or two months salary on other exotic cables. I bet they feel foo...
