Cd player is skipping ...need advise.
Quit listening to the Eagles! Are your speakers on spikes? Is the whole system sitting on carpet? There's lots you can do but without knowing the particulars it's hard to make suggestions. Try the Aurious.

Albert, how many plots would you have to buy? Or would you just go for your own wing in the cemetary? I'm not sure they could custom build a coffin big enough for all your toys. You better just enjoy it here because I think the sound system in hea...

I'm trying to get my son to learn to play "Elegy" an instrumental track from Jethro Tull's Stormwatch LP. And "Be thou my vision" recorded by Amy Shreve. Not as amusing as some of the other posts but this is something I've already given a lot of t... 
Commercial wire for AC dedicated lines
Marty9876 is on the right track. I would suggest checking out JPS Labs. The make a wire for just your application which is superior to what you will buy at Home Depot or an electrcal supply shop. Try WWW.JPSLABS.COM 
How did you get started?
You guys and your Rock and Roll! I got the bug a few years ago when I was introduced to the music of Mozart. I was in Vienna on a holiday and a friend had access to the royal court. He was able to sneak me in for a recital the young man was doing.... 
Three best Dylan albums???
toddsimsI really like both "Slow Train coming" and "Saved" I love the gospel sound and the stage full of musicians. I saw him on the opening date of the "Saved" tour in Milwaukee. There were lots of people booing and walking out but it was really ... 
Biwiring: can you really hear the difference?
I have used jumpers and I have bi-wired. The bi-wiring offered a much improved musical presentation. For the relatively small investment it's worth the effort. Try it! 
High performance electric outlets
I put PS Audio outlets in the dedicated curcuit for my system and at $49.95 thought it was worth the cost. The cheap hospital grade outlets did not amke any audible difference in my opinion. Since I did this I ran across the JPS Labs outlets. I'm ... 
PS Audio 300 vs Tice powerblock II
Does tice make vaccuums? 
The most musical system you ever build?
Yesterday I was doing some work around the house so I put a simply vinyl Elvis album on my TT. The listening room is in the basement and I was upstairs. It sounded like Elvis was trapped in my basement. It was kinda eerie having a dead person down... 
bad experiences buying on line
I got an e-mail from the guy a couple of days ago. He has been told to repost the Krell KPE reference. He asked me if I was interested. I did not respond but so far it hasn't been posted yet. I'm still considering feedback since money did change h... 
PS Audio 300 vs Tice powerblock II
DetlofYou are right. The Sota turntable has an outboard power supply/vaccuum and already regulates the power so the PS Audio would be redundant in that application. Good call! 
PS Audio 300 vs Tice powerblock II
It is my intention to use the PS Audio 300 only for my front-end. I'm not sure if I will keep the Tice for the amp or sell it. The PS will be for my SCD-777es, the Sota Star, and my Krell KRC2, it should be fine with just those pieces plugged into... 
Words From the Wise
1) The most important thing in your system is your source. Regardless of whether you use CDs, LPs or tapes. 2) The second most important thing is what you use to retieve the music. On a LP system it would be A) Cartridge B) Tonearm C) Turntable. I... 
Big Difference With New Source?
I must respectfully disagree with some of these posts. I am not a Linn fan but I agree with his philosophy in regard to hiarchy of importance. The single most important thing you own is your source, LP, CD, or whatever you use. The second most imp...
