Attn Vinyl lovers - what CD Player do you use?
LINN Ikemi 
B&W 802D Floor Spikes??
Where can you purchase these spikes. Would prefer online. 
Question about power surge protection
I call them "Power Strips". Not much protection. 
Lightning Strike
Nothing was on at the time of the strike, except maybe the ac. It cooked it too. 
Sub or Amp
Where do you tie-in to the B&Ws (mid/hi or bass)? Have you replaced the "straps/jumpers" ?Don't have straps, they have their own set of cables running to uppers & lowers 
Best cover songs?
Almost all early Linda Ronstadt 
why sound is so different?
I've purchased a few LP's from ebay and have been very pleased. Haven't had much luck buying from the local flea market. They think they're all rare and worth a ton of $$ 
What is your favorite recording with a quirck
It's not really a quirck, but at the time we thought it was. The Ohio Players Love Rollercoaster, there's a lady screaming at the begining of the song. We had heard someone was murdered in the studio and the scream was recorded. Being young we did... 
Can I RENT a record cleaning machine?
I use my wife's steam cleaner that she purchased from Sharper Image. The micro-fiber cloths you can get from any auto detail shop. 
Loud and Live
I find most live recordings do not live up to the studio versions, but I do enjoy the following live.Rolling Stones - Midnight RamblerFleetwood Mac - Oh WellREO Speedwagon 
Add a subwoofer to Von Schweikert 4Srs?
I kinda know how you feel Mdrummer01.I have a pair of B&W N802's driven by 2 Linn Klout Amps that I believe need a little help from a sub, but told I'm crazy too.The boss (wife) hasn't allowed me to make that purchase yet. 
Please recommend hearing protection
Working around Jet Engines most of my life, I find that custom fit earplugs work the best. Some of my co-workers use these plus the muffs. 
Your ONE all time favorite love song?

Best lines in a song
I eat more chicken than any man ever seen.Doors, Back Door Man
