| Large platform for power amp and more... Jdombrow is quite correct when he mentions resonance issues. A 6 ft long piece of maple could give you trouble. If you got yourself 3 rock maple butcher blocks of the size I am thinking of (23" x 19") you would have just under 6 ft of usable space... | |
| Power conditioner for amps Tom,If you have dedicateds run, try to have as many installed as you think you might need down the road. It's cheaper by a long shot to have them all done at once, rather than have the electrician come back because you need 1 or 2 more. If you hav... | |
| Large platform for power amp and more... Get yourself a couple of large rock maple butcher blocks (John Boos' Boos Blocks are the best IMHO), position them end-to-end and couple them to the surface using threaded Audiopoints cones. | |
| Good italian music for slide show Here is a suggestion: "Ancient Airs and Dances" by RespighiOn the Mercury lable the two vinyl versions I have are the Living Presence and Golden Import. (sorry I don't have the catalogue number as I am writing from work) | |
| Universal Remote suggestions I've been using the Philips Pronto 2000/Docking station setup along with a Niles infrared repeater system in order to operate HT and satellite recievers located in an equipment closet. We can carry the handset from room to room and via the repeate... | |
| Power conditioner for amps Dedicated 20A circuits w/ whole house surge protection is a route to consider. That way, your amps drink from their own source, and surges and spikes (should they be a worry to you) can be dealt with at the service panel.Another possible solution ... | |

| Rate these on order of importance: Marco-The Pizza analogy was great. Do you want a Smoking Loon Cab or Merlot with that pie? ;) | |
| I need a live great recording Dave,I have "Waltz" on both SACD and 180g vinyl. From a strictly 2 channel playback perspective, I feel the SACD does justice to the format. It's a damn sight more "analogish" on the SACD layer. I've compared both the Redbook layer upsampled and t... | |

| what are you listening to lately? Marco,In order to keep the "Smoking Loon" wines a secret, I just got back from my wine store. I bought out their stock of both the Cabernet AND the Merlot. I think I wound up with about a case of each, give or take a bottle. Come on over, and brin... | |
| "Appalachian Journey" SACD RCprince,As soon as I hit submit, I went "gulp", Buchanon is a dead character actor. Meyer, Meyer, Meyer... Too much Smoking Loon Cabernet last night. Another post I called someone O'Connell instead of McConnell. | |
| Which artists do you just not get? Dcwinton,Interesting comments on the Dead/Phish comparisons. I am a long time Dead afficionado (since 1973), and done the whole taper thing, amassing thousands of hours of material. Dick's Picks and the From The Vault series are HQ godsends to fan... | |
| What was your latest LP find?? A VG+ "Belafonte at Canegie Hall" w/VG++ cover. Gave it a good cleaning, new sleeves, and a poly sleeve over the cover. Not a Belafonte fan, I confess I have not even played it yet. But, for $1.00 at a flea market, why not? |
