Best tube integrated amp with Tannoy Turnberry
Check out some of the Cayin units. Great sound and value. If they don't work, easy to sell. 
Help building a small room with audio
I've done a basement media room, and aside for some of the comments already made, attention needs to be paid to isolating the sound that the furnace will make. Not only the furnace itself but also the duct work. It is very difficult to get the noi... 
Need Advice Spendor S3/5 or ProAc Tablette 2000
Neither of these make a good mixing choice. Look into some of the pro audio units made for this purpose. Yamaha makes the classic unit which is very reasonable in price with the right discount. 
UHA Reel to Reel/Tape Project opinions
Mikelavigne, you are right, tape even the broadcast tapes are an uneven experience. I have some that are good, and some not so. Condition is everything. I have some AFRTS broadcast tapes that run at 3.75, quarter track and they out perform many of...

proac response d2 vs older 2
I've compared the two, side by side in the same system. I felt the older 2 was warmer. 
The Cyclicality of Black Vs Silver
WAF makes more of a difference. A while back some studies suggested that wife's choice was black. I am sure it has something to do with 'the little black dress'. I know, letting your wife choose the color is a cheap way to get acceptance of your h... 
OPPO 83SE vs Anthem D1 DACS
The future is blu-ray, so it is that DAC element that is important. 
UHA Reel to Reel/Tape Project opinions
I don't think it is worth the investment. I have reel to reel playback equipment, Technics and Teac. I do like the sound and I am sure Tape Project media would be even better. I do have some two track, 15 ips broadcast tapes and the cd and vinyl e... 
Should I Try a Tube Preamp?
Yes, a nice way to start would be with one of the Cayin units. Great sound and value. You can get one for less then $1000. Easy to sell if you don't like it.

Moon Gel is the way to go. This product will isolate better than anything on the market, very inexpensive too. It can be found at the pro music stores, 123 Music or Musicians Friend, in the section where drummer acessories are sold. Go on line to ...
