I'd say quite a big step up from our ARC SP-9s! I want one of those 40th Anniversary Edition preamps *badly*. I wonder if ARC will accept body parts for payment...? :-)

Very interesting! Gives me an idea or two for my room...

My understanding is that in situations like that, Green Glue would be used between the two layers of Quietrock.

I don't have any long-term experience with their power amps, but I've had an Audio Research SP-9 Mk 2 preamp (see signature) for about 3 years now. I love it! The built-in phono stage is surprisingly good.

ANother easy one for me: vinyl all the way, with the note that including a CD of the music in the packaging (for convenience and ease of transferring to portable devices) would be a great idea (some records already do this).

This is an easy one for me: vinyl all the way!

Hey, I recognise those words (although I spelt "finalised" the British way)! Thanks for the quote. :-) I think I met Roger at THE Show while I was in Las Vegas. Very nice guy; please say hi to him for me!

Agreed. However, the OP should probably try to audition a Scout (and any other options) before parting with his hard-earned shekels.

It's not just Adobe that this effects. The Apple SDK licence agreement specifically prohibits the distribution of non-Apple apps that interpret scripted content. That's why there's no support for Java on the i{Pad, Phone}.

I haven't sold anything via Audiogon or eBay, but if I did, that would be my exact approach too.

You're welcome!

Upload the hi res pics to somewhere like Photobucket of Flickr (I use the former), then include a link to them in your post. Most photo sites will generate the required link for you; just cut 'n' paste!

Hmm, have you vacuumed your panels recently? Checked all connections are tight?

A beautiful turntable! And I agree, an SME Series V would look better. Start saving! :-)

Yep, we agree to disagree! But if a small, lightweight laptop replacement is what you want, check out any number of the so-called notepad computers. BTW, I'm not dissing Apple per se, we have a MacBook Pro, and (one or two usability issues notwithstanding) I love it!

With one or two reservations, I agree: it's a great supersized iPod Touch (more or less). But a "laptop killer" it ain't.

As much as I like toys, I have to respectfully disagree. The iPad has: * No multitasking. * No forward facing camera and mike for Skype etc. * No camera at all IIRC! * No Java, no Flash (and Apple's current SDK licence actually prohibits developers from distributing them). * 4:3 aspect...

I'm not Gordon, but I can strongly recommend the early RCAs and Mercuries. Check out Lt Kije, Scherezade (both with Fritz Rainer conducting the Chicago Symphony Orchestra) especially. I have them on vinyl, and presumably the remasters supervised by Wilma Cozart-Fine are almost as good.

That would be Time Warp. I don't know if it's still on, though (apart from re-runs). Nice to see someone using correct terminology; "needles" went out with wax cylinders!

Very Zen-like--and very true!
