Can you help or do I have to get divorced?
Tommyt, you have to draw a line in the sand. You said it yourself, you're trying to be to nice. When you give in on this issue, there will be another that you will need to cave in on next. Women are like children, always testing boundaries. Whethe... 
TUNERS..anyone?
Luxman, Sansui, Kenwood all made tuners in the late 70's and early 80's that will put most of todays tuners to shame. I 'upgraded' from a Magnum Dynalab FT-101A to a Sansui TU-717 and was surprised that I was able to make such an improvement, whil... 
Any experience w/ Vienna Mahler ?
Have you listened to the Beethovens? I own a pair of the Beethovens, and I prefer them over the Mahlers. The Mahlers have more bass and go deeper, but the Beethovens seemed tighter and quicker to me. The Mahlers seemed just a tad slow in the lower... 
Best powered Subwoofer for HT only... Under 1000
I own the Mirage BPS400, bought it from Tweeter for $799 (originally $1299). It has (2) active 12 inch drivers and a 400 watt amp. It's rated down to 16 hz. I also only use it for movies. It really rocks the house, I don't see how you could do any... 
Which direction would you go?
Mike, I think you may be onto something with the soft dome tweeters. I'm using Vienna Acoustic Beethovens and I love them, I don't think I could ever go back to a Titanium or Aluminum dome tweeter, they all sound harsh to me now. I also recommend ... 
Reducing background fizz and pops on Vinyl.
D@mn! Maxgain, I got home from work today and that SOB sent me an e-mail that said he sold the Linn. He was afraid to ship, so I told him I'd come up and take it on Saturday. Because of the 4 hour round trip, I couldn't do it before Saturday. We e... 
Reducing background fizz and pops on Vinyl.
Maxgain, You were very helpful to me in selecting a turntable. I'm going to look at the Linn on Saturday, it's all scheduled. I'm wondering about cleaning my albums as well. I understand that a wet/vac is the best way to go, but I won't have the m... 
Best CD Player - Opinions?
My vote would go to the BAT VK-D5SE. You owe it to yourself to listen to one of these units. 
Thoughts on using two Classe CA 300's
I've heard a pair of Classe Ca-200 bridged, and was not impressed. I thought they lost a lot of the music in the bridged mode. If you're talking vertically biamping, disregard the previous comment. Have you tried one CA-300? I would rather go with... 
Used 3 channel Amp recommendation for 500-600
I agree with Kgb540 here. At this price range the Acurus is very hard to beat. 
Do you approve of "How Stereophile Market itself"?
They look like they're trying to fill the 'Stereo Review' niche. Thinner and thinner mags, and many more positive reviews. Hey, you can't stay anti-establishment forever. Many of the flower children of the 60's sold out, and are millionaires today... 
what made you get up & dance during the Olympics
The closing ceremonies. Thank God they're over. I guess, if there was a highlight, it was the USA men's hockey team beating the Russians for a shot at the Gold. The rest was a snoozefest. I sincerely believe that the Olympics are for women. My wif... 
Do i get the old or new Classe amps?
I will. I know that Sonus Faber increased the sensitivity from 88db to about 90 (91?)db for the Home series of the GP, but I think you'll be best served with at least 200 wpc. Whether you choose Classe or another brand. I've always found that ampl... 
Gold Face Olympic Power = Canada
Natalie, maybe you need to check again. Last I checked, Canada was farther north than the US. I admit I haven't checked in awhile, things may have changed. Rgd, I've never been to those remote northern states, rumor has it that it's too damn cold. 
Gold Face Olympic Power = Canada
We'll let you have the gold medals for the men and the women. It's the least we can do to comfort you, and help take your minds off the fact that you're living in a frozen tundra. We will however, keep the warmer climate. Want to play us in baseba...
