New amp being touted as among the best ever......
I guess it is better than looking like a toaster over. 
Clint Eastwood's HiFi
Klisph Cornwalls ? 
Buy tubes from Audio Research or not
I own the VT100mk1 and there is NO individual bias setting on each tube, you can only ajust the whole channel at one and that is why matched tubes are very important.My dealer said that ARC keeps a data base of each amps bias settings when it leav... 
Good Sounding Speaker that Won't Attract Thieves?
Soundolear. I don't know what they sound like, but they are built to look like a floor standing lamp, so the crooks will walk right past 'em.Or maybe something like MBL, B&O or another isobaric design that dont look anything like a speaker tha... 
Levinson 390s -- intermittant loud cracking sound
What type of speakers? Are they ES or powered in anyway? 
When will rap music be less mainstream?
I was even watching "Austin City Limits", which generally features at least simitalented artists, and they had a bunch of hip hoppers with gold chains and teeth jumping around stage going "wo-wo-wo yo-yo-yo" on that, so it just shows how far "we" ... 
Mesa Boogie Stereo Simul-Class 295 tube amp
I don't know, but I have often wondered how a Marshall 50+50 stereo rack mount amp would sound in a home system. I see these for sale, and they are not sold new anymore. They sure look cool anyway. They look cooler than most high end gear.I have a...

Yea, Nrenter, EVH said (guitar player mag) he has 20 albums of new material that may never been put out...what a same. 
what are the "must have" CD's
Someone did mention ZZ Top's greatest hits,which is a very interesting recording. It does contain some very deep LF that most systems will %100 miss. I think it is more a test of room response than system quality. I could reproduce the LFs in a sm... 
what are the "must have" CD's
First RATE that is. oops! 
what are the "must have" CD's
Willie Nelson's "Moonlight Becomes You". Excellent great sounding renditions of several very classic standards. Simple, basic, accoustic, and very live sounding. A first rare recording. 
What is meant by a "fast" pre amp
Is this the same as "slew rate" ? 
Do all computers output digital thru USB?
My computer has a SPDIF out and it sound really really bad.I tried going from PC to a Theata DAC and then had a panic attack wondering just how much $$$$ I could spend to get it to sound right. 
Biamping question.
I think Beerdraft is referring to "STRAPPING" amps. I'm not sure how it works or how to hook things up or what amps it can be done with. This practice is not mentioned too often, but it would be cool to have a whole stack of monos if you really ne... 
anyone a/b'd a AR LS 3 against a LS 12 preamp??
Do they still offer the balanced upgrade? IIRC the balanced version has an extra circuit board that sits on top of the main board and only ads XLR outputs.I think ARC just provided this so the LS3 could hook to ALL of thier products,as they did ma...
