The value of open space
Come on !Send me an email. I’ll come get you if you need a ride. I hope to have my new Aesthetix phono and newly designed custom crossover by then but if not, the system is working well as is. 
The value of open space
Well, I agree with Guidocorona on all points except format. Like you Chashmal, I too am a huge fan of vinyl LP's and have little or no emotional connection with music from CD's.I have several of Stockhausen's works as well as those of Edgard Varès... 
Which Turntable For Temporary Use/ please read
Considering current pricing and what's involved in getting one of the old tables running, I'd go for the Garrard 301 oil bearing model. Cost will probably be around $1200.00 for table. Add a decent arm and you should come in under the $2000.00 mar... 
Sonny Rollins
I'm jealous, bet it was a wonderful experience. I am a big fan of Jazz and he and Miles are among the best of the best. 
The right room.
Pedrello,One of my best friends has a room that's about 25 wide, 38 long and 12-14 high. A very large space, and his reference speaker is a medium large three way with 13" woofer.The sound is excellent, although perhaps too low of an acoustical ou... 
The right room.
From my experience, Stehno's suggestion is accurate. All room dimension rules are made to be broken but going with a long rectangle as he suggests will give your speakers room to breath and allow them to reproduce even the deepest bass passages. 
Raven v Walker. Colored v Accurate?
RaulDear Albert: Do you want a better quality performance on your SP-10MK2?, if so then change all the internal/external electrical power cable from the wall socket through the Power supply, umbilical cord and inside the TT.I've installed an IEC c... 
Any new up & coming high end speaker lines?
Sebastian, you have the Hansen Emperor? 
Raven v Walker. Colored v Accurate?
Just one more small example of the murky nature of all this. In a recent listening session in a very evolved, very high end system not unfamiliar to some here, we changed out the support "cones" underneath the power supply for the motor controller... 
Raven v Walker. Colored v Accurate?
Thanks Albert,Gosh.....I didn't even know that section existed?I don't think many people will be aware of it?Oh well.Halcro, until the last few days, it did not exist. This is obviously a new Audiogon format. I discovered this by clicking around t... 
Raven v Walker. Colored v Accurate?
Halcro,Go to forums, recent discourse last 12 (or 24 hours). Scroll down past New Topics, Virtual Systems, and you will see Product Reviews.http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?ranlg&1207200679&read 
Raven v Walker. Colored v Accurate?
Halcro, your review is up. Perhaps the format change caused you to miss seeing it.Really nice review I might add. I wish I had the opportunity to hear the DaVinci 12" arm. I was SO close to buying it when I did my Technics rebuild and went for the... 
fuses - the $39 ones or the 85 cent ones

Recommendations on Wall Mount HT Speakers
Sorry to go off topic, but thanks to Cytocycle for directing me to his two system threads for a look. Great looking systems and wonderful photography. 
GEM Dandy Record Cleaner - Has Anyone Tried It ?
Wet suit? Do you think it would be that bad? I don't know how good the guy is that reviewed the GEM Dandy, but I think I could do fine with it in our sink and create no more mess than rinsing dishes.Then again, I have not tried it. Just supporting...
