Cables for a high-school newbie
How much would you like to spend? It will be easier to answer your question with this knowledge.Monster Cable M2.2 cable was surprisingly good since I don't typically like their cables but I used a version of it for a couple of years. It can be ha... 
When audiophiles visit for a listening session
Raggy, it would be a lot like you going shopping. You're an alright guy, but it takes people a while to get past the presentation. Who in a hifi shop would expect a 24 year old guy with dreads and fatigues to own Kharma's and use vinyl as his sour... 
Best solid state pre-amp below US $ 10.000,00 ??
Tbg, why would he lie about something so easy to verify? Does he want people to think he is stupid or a liar!?!Typical audiophile response!?!

Looking for phono stage recommendations
I have considered the Sutherland, but the report I heard back about it was that it lacked detail and dynamics.

The next idea I'm working on, is about an audiophile who disguises himself and goes to a HiFi shop trying to get good service... Stayed tuned, or in the case of chadlinz and punkawalla, stay away...

I guess this thread points out the humorously challenged among us!Papertrail I have no talent, everything anyone writes anymore has been done already, some people just hide their plagarism better than others! I'm just having fun.Never read Bartleb...

Looking for phono stage recommendations
Sirspeedy - I really don't know what to get right now. I talked to Mehran about the ZYX, but he's only ever had one of them and I don't think he ever heard it in his own system. It sounded like he sold it right from the factory. He does have three...

mwilson there's no need to get personal! I'm trying to plan better this year.

What do you have on the floor? Is it carpet, wood, concrete etc?Different surfaces have different dialectric characteristics, and will affect the cables which are lying on them. Carpet tends to be the least neutral, or adds the most coloration. Wa... 
What was/is the heaviest weight amp you herd/own
I had the Krell FPB 700cx which weighed about 165 lbs. I thought that was a monster till I got my Classe Omicron. The bax shipping ticket listed it at 282 lbs with the case. It took two people to move it when I had to adjust the placement in my li... 
Looking for a great arm that is low maintenence
Docsavage, I don't know that I'd say there is anything wrong with the Rega, it's just not in the class of the others listed here. For it's price it does a very good job, but it does not have the ultimate respolution of the Graham, SME, or the TriP... 
Tube bias and related ramblings very exciting
Okay, so here it is. I replaced the 6550's with the KT 88s yesterday. The bias for each of the four tubes is currently set to 70.0-70.1mv. That seems high to me, but I don't have any way of knowing where to set them. Any ideas???
