Best used Red Book Player for Rock-N-Roll
I should have qualified my statement with a comparison with the Rotel 971. The 971, having more prominent high and lows is more of what I consider rock 'n roll. The Cary has signficantly less 'thump', so I made a generalization. Its not a total wi... 
This Sistrum stuff works
Twl, have you thought about trying the coupling discs for the audiopoints? They're pretty nickel & dime compared your total, there :) (I actually have the discs, and your post has reminded me to get points for my electronics. They sounded bett... 
Best used Red Book Player for Rock-N-Roll
I own the 303 and have heard the 303/200 sounds similar in the areas I am going to concern you with. The tonal balance is midrange happy; no bass slam. What Linn calls prat is not Cary at all. The 303 is smooth, detailed = pretty (like Cardas soun... 
"must have" accessories for TT and LP?
The audioasylum FAQ has a section of links for TT setup. 
Too many boxes
One closet it full of boxes, some boxes are flattened, some boxes are inside other boxes and my speaker boxes are like high-rise shelves for my shoes. A house with an attic sounds dreamy... 
A system under $1k an interesting link
I thought he did a good job introducing a part of hifi to the average joe and jane. His system was fun and practical, but in a George Lucas kinda society, ten-watters may be a questionable for the potential audiophile. The PAL sounds really cool, ... 
Remeber the FONZ????
I don't have to remember, I have Nick at Nite. Bet you didn't see that one coming. 
How could High End audio be improved?
Good topic. My American take is same/similar to those who posted before me.My initial thought is that the main problem is that only a small number of people are in to audio. If there was more people who made a *nice stereo a greater priority, comp... 
Gramy Nominations
How do they pronounce in Canada? She looked as if she had never seen the name before. I stand in the corner anyways. 
Gramy Nominations
I just saw a clip on Craig Kilborn, showing Avril Levigne (sp?) mispronounce (David) Bowie when announcing the grammy nominations. The 'ow' as in 'cow' instead of 'sew'. Maybe I am just getting old, but that seems seriously wrong. 
Gramy Nominations
I totally agree with you guys. I have more respect for the Oscars than the music awards, but still...If you haven't seen it already, you may get a kick out of the movie "Ghost World". It has a funny taste-of-the-'masses' motif. 
would this Deter you from buying used gear????
Is the DL so much better than giving the serial number when reporting it stolen? I don't think I'd like to deal with anyone who puts their DL# on their stuff. 
"must have" accessories for TT and LP?
There is no approval time for this thread, but I could been less rude for sure.

Cylinderking_1 - Um, duh. 
Best device for adjusting cartridge overhang.
I really like the Wallytractor and have kept it after I sold my TT rig. When I get another TT, it will be really nice to have. They are easier and more precise than anything else I have used. I think the price just went up ($150?), which is pretty...
