Hello, it's been a while since I have posted, so I think I should recap my situation. I have a Thorens TD166 MkII (with a signet 7lga cartridge, i think it might be a pos, can't find any info online) record player that I am playing through my computer with a Rolls VP29 Phono-pre. I do not own anything else for a system. I think I have finally decided on speakers though, the Vandersteen 2C's. I have heard so many glowing reviews of the speakers, and as I live in the Bay Area, I often see them for sale on craigslist.

what an ass!

I'm in the thread, I'm in the forum. Get over your rude self. ncdrawl can tell you kiss whatever part he wants. I'm telling you this bullshit you perpetuate about "you can't hear" is just that - bullshit. Grow up.

I am seeking massive wpc monoblock amplification for a new stereo system. To this point, three impressive amplifiers have been recommended to me. I have heard one.

McIntosh MC1.2KW
Boulder 2050
Pass Labs X1000

All three have received favorable reviews to different degrees. I would very much enjoy reading thoughts from any of you who own [or have owned at one time] one or more of these three monoblock monster amps.

Equipment paired with the amps?
Musical?

Thanks!

I am inquiring if forum members can comment on the Eggleston Ivy, Savoy, and/or Andra III speakers.

Secondly, I have not been successful locating on-line Eggleston speaker reviews. They rarely appear in any review magazine or on-line listing.

Might anyone know of some on-line reviews?

Many Thanks!

Apple Corps Ltd. and EMI Music are delighted to announce the release of the original Beatles catalogue, which has been digitally re-mastered for the first time, for worldwide CD release on Wednesday, September 9, 2009 (9-9-09), the same date as the release of the widely anticipated "The Beatles: Rock Band" video game.

I really think having what amounts to a forum for political harangues (which is 98% of what is actually here) is inappropriate for Stereophile forums.

There are thousands of websites for political discussion; let people who want to do that go to one of them. I would like to see "The Open Bar" eliminated and all political comment or discussion banned from this website.

Let's limit this website to appropriate subjects.

a Chorus of Deutschland Uber Alles for the gestapo moderating tactics. especially when they do not have the balls to say why they did it!

more especially because nothing bad was going on!
