Best Roof Mounted FM Antenna
I agree 100% with Sugarbrie. I live 60 miles north of NYC and using a $20 omni-directional Radio Shack antenna my old Rotel picks up all the stations I could ask for. I mounted outside on the cable end of my house. Ran about 100ft of coax through ... 
Bi-wireing Proac 2.5
Good point by Comchenry. However, most folks will tell you that if you choose not to bi-wire, you should get a matching jumper. 
Good Cowboy Junkies "Trinity Sessions"?
You can try MusicDirect (www.amusicdirect.com). I believe they sell the LP. 
Bi-wireing Proac 2.5
Hello John-I own 2.5s and have always run bi-wire. However, my cables (Discovery 1-2-3) are INTERNAL bi-wire, not true shot-gun (2 runs per speaker). The answer to your question is, it depends. It depends on what you are moving from and to. It dep... 
Jazz and Acoustic Guitar recommendation
John Scofield is very popular in Europe and is now beginning to gather a following here in the States. Scofield has released work with Metheny and Hayden among others. 
Radio Shack Gold interconnects?
I have posted this before, but here it is again. There is an Ebay seller, MATTJK, who sells DIY ICs, digitals, and PC at very reasonable prices as well as different price points. I have his $64 PC and $20 ICs and $10 digital. I also have NBS Mine/... 
Cal Audio Alpha 24/96
I upgraded my Alpha about 1 yr ago. In retrospect, I would say to sell the Alpha and whatever transport your using (I have the Delta) and upgrade to a better one box player in the $2-$3k range. The $700 upgrade doesn't seem to affect the resell va... 
Cryogenic Tempering
Has anyone performed this process on tubes? If so, what was the result? I ask the question because an associate has told me he has sent out about 50 NOS Telefunken, Mullard and Amperex 12ax7's for cryo. I personally thought the risk was too great. 
Good Stuff Cheap
There is a guy named Matt Kim who sells DIY ICs, digital and power cables. His stuff is really great for what he charges. He always has dutch auctions

should vinyl be put on auction at audigo
At the $2.00 per add charge, why bother? If you really want to auction, use Ebay. Their ads get far more viewings that AudioGon, as this is perceived as an audiophile equipment site. As Justlisten pointed out, used LPs of this genre don't pull in ... 
Best Integrated Amp
Seems everyone has decided to ignore the Plinius 8150/8200. I still think this is one of the best sounding and best values in an integrated. Next, everyone ALWAYS ignores the Densen integrateds. Smooth sounding and quite unique design. The Mesa Ti... 
Sim Moon I-5, Plinius 8150 8200 , Eci -3
I agree with Blbloom. The Sim and Electro will not get everything out of the SFs. I have listened extensively to the 8150 and consider it to be an excellent product as well as value. I does a superb job and resloving the details and get wonderful ... 
Granite Under Speakers Over A Wood Floor
I will not venture to say these work better or worse than a marble slab, but, you can get various kinds of floor protectors. These are available in a myriad of materials from lots of dealers. I use Tip-toes. The good news on these is that you can ...

If you are ready to spend $800 then by all means, move up to the Benz Glider HO. With trade-in and discount, it should cost you $600.
