What did YOU get for Christmas?
Rar1, good for you. A painfree life is a great present in my book any day.Nrchy, I want one of those P300s, too. 
2 channel SACD vs Multichannel SACD players...
Rsbeck, I am a two channel person myself. Have you had the opportunity to listen to 2 channel SACD from a dedicated 2 channel player? If so, how did it compare to 2 channel reproduction from a multi-channel system? 
Omnidirectional speakers. The future?
Check these out. Decware Radials 
What to add to my system for best sound?
Julieb63, I have some questions for ya. How did you end up choosing the system you currently own, especially the Axiom M50s? Also, what kind of music do you prefer? 
PS Audio P300??
Is it common practice to turn on and off the P300 on a regular basis? 
SACD 2 channel vs Redbook 2 Channel
Great stuff,Right now I have a ModWright Pioneer CDP that is making great music for me with my existing CD collection. I use the Pioneer as a tranport with a Bel Canto DAC, plus I use a Decware pre-amp and TORII amp. The sound is very good and get... 
SACD 2 channel vs Redbook 2 Channel
Nrchy, thanks for the info, but I was referring more to the quality of the sound. Rsbeck is in the ballpark. My question, rephrased, is, all things being equal, what are the differences between 2 channel SACD and 2 channel redbook when it comes to... 
FM/AM versus Analog versus Digital
Brianmgrarcom, I didn't mean to have my post sound like an attack. You sounded put-off by my comments that it almost seemed that digital was your child. I apologize if the comment was taken in a content other than what it was intended. However, I ... 
FM/AM versus Analog versus Digital
I went to my brother's house recently and listened to his old Pioneer tube tuner from the 70s and I thought it sounded really good and last night, during my drive home, I listened to some fine jazz on one of the stations and I thought that it migh... 
Rate these on order of importance:
Jax2, just for the record, I would love to have a pair of La Scalas, but my room is so small that my head would be inside one of them during playback. Plus, I looked up Resphigi and I am going to sample some of it. This should be good. Anyone who ... 
Rate these on order of importance:
Jax2, I merely just asked for the order of importance, in GENERAL terms. I never said anything about price or balance or holding back on this and not spending more on that. Relax. As for Paul Klipsch, I am not familiar with any of his witty repart... 
Rate these on order of importance:
I still think that if I did an A/B test between two systems; crappy source/good speakers vs good source/crappy speakers, I could get the latter to sound better and I could hear Jax2 scream on Audiogon.And, I bet some country, somewhere in the worl... 
Rate these on order of importance:
Herman, how can you say that what I ask is impossible? Come on, all things being equal, don't you give weight to some things over others? IMHO, I would prefer a great source and front end with crappy speakers to bad source and crappy front end wit... 
What are MIDs and HIs in terms of frequencies?
Wow, as high as 160hz into the area of bass? I wasn't aware it went that high. And all the way up to 2500 goes into the mids? Geez, can the human ear even hear the highs? WOW! 
Concrete tubes: hemholtz resonators? tubes?
Tsouthworth,Good article and interesting information. I just think that implementing so many tubes may make my listening room look like a graveyard of sorts. It is worth exploring.
