SAT 30K+$$ TONEARM: W O R T H T O H A V E I T ?
It is a better value than $47,000 Dreamplay CD player that is on the cover of this month’s Stereophile for a number of reason! However, I still would not purchase one even if I had Bezos’ money. 
Diana Krall - New Vinyl - Good sound - Poor Vinyl
It was her new album in 2007. 
Paul is Done
Paul is one of my favorites and he has contributed, in large part, to the sound track of my life. One Trick Pony and Songs of the Capeman are my favorites!!!!!! 
Opinion - Every audiophile should build at least 1 pair of speakers
I built my first and second pair while in high school in 1978 and 1980 respectively. Although I stopped shortly after that there has hardly been a speaker that I haven't modified. Yes, it is great fun. Further, over the past 7 years or so I went t...

Tireguy,I met you sometime back in around 2000. You were taking care of your father and running the business. My wife had started her second career and was going to Albany School of Pharmacy. You stopped by my place and listened to a few of my rec... 
Best recording
The quality of the preamp, as well as the converter, is of more importance than whether it is DSD, 24/96 or tape. What you store the data on is secondary. I use a Grace Design, Oade modified, Lunatec V3 into a bit bucket run at 24/96.

Speed accuracy- how accurate is accurate?
Your phone weighs much more than the vinyl and slows down your table. When you put the vinyl on it run too fast. 
Outer ring - who uses and what are your findings
That is why I use one and it works. 
Like the new look to audiogon ?
Opposite Day has ended. 
Fun Analog Upgrade Challenge
Sutherland Phono Block Refined. I'm a real big fan of Keith's sound. I'm not saying that there aren't other phono stages that are as good or better but it cost $10,000. So, I spent every penny. Further, I'm familiar with his sound, which is superb... 
Like the new look to audiogon ?
It is terrible. I can't even look at it. Why fix what is not broken and easy to access. Also, why not have the new listing format as an option? Simply crappy as it is. 
Turntable
Slaw, It is unknown to you and the poster. He posted it because it may not be unknown to someone else. It is called a question. If I posted every time I didn’t have an answer to a question here on AG, my fingers would get very tired. If you don’t ...
