Who LOVES their under $ 1000 table combination ?
I purchased a Music Hall MMF-5 ($650-ish) on the strength of numerous reviews which characterized it as the "giant killer" turntable of the last few years and I must say it has delivered the goods! My CDs are collecting dust. The MMF-7 (or 7.1 now... 
Video Question: Plazma or LCD???
For what it's worth, I live with both a 50" Panasonic Plasma and a 52" Sharp Aquos LCD and, yes there are differences but mostly of the "apples vs. oranges" variety rather than "better vs. lesser". Maybe the single issue that's become apparent to ... 
How did you get into vinyl?
My aunt, who lived with us, had one of those early stereo record changers where one speaker resided with the platter/tonearm assembly and the other speaker detached from the suitcase-like unit and could be set at a distance. This was the mid-50's ... 
Poor Man's Ferrari?
Thanks all for the feedback. The Prima Luna gear has definitely caught my attention at this point... 
Poor Man's Ferrari?
Wow...I walked right into that one, lol! Please permit me to rephrase my buying-from-ebay statement to read as "I've been looking at used Mark Levinson No. 27 amps and No. 26 preamps". Reubent, I would be purchasing the ML amp/preamp to be used wi...

Your ONE all time favorite love song?
"Why Don't We Get Drunk and ..." by Jimmy Buffett 
worse entertainer or performer of all time??
Any of post-mid-1980's country music. Someone else alluded to it earlier in this thread. There's an element of hermetically sealed self containment about this sub-genre to the extent that it no longer serves as a regionally twanged commentary on l... 
Your Favorate JBL's from the 70's
I still have a pair of L-65s which I bought new at the beginning of 1978. I've had them re-foamed (probably due for another within a few years) and have auditioned more than a few speakers which I was "probably sure sounded a little bit better....... 
Two-Year-Olds and Turntables...
Thanks all!For the time being, I've opted to go with a variation on the acrylic cover with the out-of-sight-out-of-mind principle thrown in for good measure -- a hastily fabricated cover of 1" X 8" frame topped with a piece of quarter inch plywood... 
Why are LCDs more popular than plasma?
We have a Sharp Aquos LC-52D62U LCD in the Den and a Panasonic TH-50PX60U plasma in the bedroom. The two strike me as ever so slightly different from one another in ways that are hard to put into words and which I wouldn't associate with a differe... 
What is the one CD you can't find?
I've been on a thirty-year-plus quest to find "A Childrens' Christmas" by the Bravo Players/Bravo Singers...other artist name with "Bravo", unsure of exact artist name(s) in any format. It contained 3 tracks I still remember from childhood - "Mixi... 
I'm looking for a big new LCD or projection type
We have the Aquos LC52D62U and are delighted with it. There are some better spec numbers out there but the 'D62U looked better than anything we saw at a large Best Buy store with the exception of a couple of super big Pioneers in the $7500 - $12,0... 
Danger to LCD from Main Speakers Vibration?
The speakers are mid 70s vintage (L-65s) so I doubt they're shielded. I'd be placing them 18" - 20" away from the LCD screen to either side... 
How does the Technics SL 1200 compare with....
Just thinking that, if these modified SL-1200s are as great as touted, someone should seize the marketing moment and get a mass distribution thing going to coincide with the recent resurgence in vinyl. Sure there's a few aging 'Boomers here and th...
