What do you do when the kids come along?
Hdm's advice is right on. I did this with my kids also and it works.

Jd> Life does not end when you have children. Children also enjoy music. Just as you would teach your child to read you can also teach them music appreciation. Musically nothing changed in our house when we had kids and both of them enjoy music... 
Are You Happy?
I'm pretty happy. Yes I have some cd's that are untolerable but this is a minimal amount. Most of these are classic rock and some blues. I'm planning on adding a sub which will hopefully add a little bottom end and help smooth out some of the brig... 
Anyone have any experience with CJ Evolution 2000?
Thanks guys> I had considered some of the things which Denf has pointed out and came to the conclusion that I should not purchase this amp. The price is right but it would cost about $100 each way to ship the monster back to CJ for service. 
Hobby or Lifestyle?
My main point was not the tax issue but that I considered my music and its reproduction a lifestyle and not a hobby. I have started to post this before but did not. The tax issue and conversation that followed just brought it back to mind. I did c... 
So how many people are using subwoofers
Thanks guys I had pretty much decided on the sub but am somewhat surprised at how many would go with an amp upgrade instead.That being said, I have been looking at the REL storm primarily because the REL and ACI Titan are the only 2 subs that can ... 
So how many people are using subwoofers
Hello Garfish and others. The Sonatas are rated at 20Hz-28kHz. It's interesting to note that the speakers will go low when fed low. Some recordings make me think that a sub might be too much. However the 2nd generation (Sonata II) were given a 2nd... 
Power Amps and Power Conditioners, Do you plug in?
Drew> I have the same setup ie dedicated circuit and HTS 2000. I added the HTS 2000 prior to the circuit and I have never thought my system sounded better because of it. However I don't think it has degraded the sound either. I have plugged my ... 
Rediscovering vinyl - Question about phono preamp
Thanks guys. Now my next decision is which brand TT. I'm leaning towards the MMF-7 over P-3. Seems many think a new table is preferable to a used, due to setup calibrations and such. Is this true? Guess I'll have to do some more homework on TT setup. 
Buggtussel speakers: a "sleeper" hi- end spker?
Hmmmmm I wonder what Grinderswitch would sound like on Buggtussel speakers? 
Whats the best power conditioner for RPTV?
Rgd> I am using both electrical and coax hook ups. I noticed an immediate difference in the picture quality. However my 2 ch audio sounded pretty thin for about 2-3 days. 
Whats the best power conditioner for RPTV?
Darryl> I don't know if it is the best but I was quite amazed at how much better the picture on my 55" Toshiba Cinama Series was after the installation of a Monster HTS 2000. 
Theta Miles output range in volts?
The owners manual does not list this spec. You might call Theta and inquire

One system Audio & Theater - minimize compromise?
I think conventional wisdom is that you get a better synergy by using same brand amp and preamp. I am partial to Conrad Johnson. All their newer preamps have video loop. A tube preamp may give a more desireable sound for 2 channel. Many are using ...
