How do I hook up 2 preamps to one amp
what Elevick said is the answer - both of his posts. I'm not sure what Lexicon you're using but it's likely to be superior to your NAD - even for music, but if you prefer the NAD, then what you do is connect the the speaker outputs (ie Main L/R) f...

Jenny, get busy girl! You have fans out here who want to hear your voice! Hear here!. 
Best platter mat for Acrilic platter ?
either none, or the Funk Firm Achromat. 
Steve Hackett's The Shrouded Horizon, 2011's best.
thanks for the head's up. It's on order now . . .Steve Hackett's solo work is all great. 
Album Of The Year 2011
I'm not sure what my nominee is - frankly I don't remember which albums I bought this year that were truly 2011 releases. I would have said Cowboy Junkies Renmin Park, and/or Demons, but I think they are 2010.A top contender IMO would be Brian Eno... 
Totems
the footprint of the Sttaf (and for that matter the Hawk and the Forest) is smaller than any stand you will be able to find for monitors - this is why I suggested the floor standers. It seems to be a prevailing assumption here that monitors take u... 
Totems
why not go straight to the Mani-2's? Although - recognize they are not at their best unless you have a lot of power - but that doesn't mean they can't sound great with less than optimal power.Otherwise - isn't the Model One the only upgrade if you... 
How to "break-in" new speakers??
ditto to what everyone else said - listen and enjoy, but I would NOT try to drive them hard initially (ie within the 1st 100 hrs) 
Analog system under 500 palyer and phono pre-amp
I agree the Musical Fidelity X-LPS is excellent - especially for the $used. 
Does a center channel have to match the front spke

60s console amps good and bad...
I've played around with some of these. I have a couple of Magnavox amps - one Stereo EL84 based (9302), and one Stereo 6V6 based (8802). The Maggies are popular and not bad sounding. I also have a pair of Thordarsen mono amps that are 6V6, 6SL7 ba... 
Christmas Music and Audiophiles?
It seems a little early for the annual Christmas Music thread . . . but I love Christmas music - but only for the few days surrounding Christmas day. I'm not much of a fan of the usual pop songs (jingle bells, etc), instead I prefer the more relig... 
Name 3 under appreciated pop/rock drummers
Steve Ferrone . I'm not sure if he's under-appreciated, but I only found out about him recently watching Tome Petty and the Heartbrakers. The guy is amazing. 
Which band's vinyl catalog is consistently great?
Neil Young's catalog is consistently great. Same for Joni Mitchell, and Van Morrison. Eric Clapton's live lp "Just One Night" is amazingMike Oldfield's is also excellent, but Virgin label's pressings often were noisy.Roxy Music, Brian Eno, and Bry... 
Can a "pushed in" dome tweeter + midrange be savev
Bdgregory, I was also making an attempt at humor since Unsound's idea requires sucking. Get it? now I do, and it's hilarious. I guess I hadn't had enough coffee that morning - it went right by me.
