What's up with the Rega Planet 2000?
It is quite interesting. Two more on Agon today. FWIW I was going to get a 2000 but decided against it because of the top loading. They have changed the loading compartment and, according to what I have read in reviews, have made it more cumbersom... 
Do the Audio gods shine upon you?
Slowhand> This phenomenon happened about 3 weeks ago. Skeptics can say what they want about my mood, my electricity, my hearing, the phase of the moon etc. All I can say is that my wife heard the same thing. We did not want to go to bed thet ni... 
Break in period for power conditioners ?
OK here's the scoop, the skinny, the lowdown, the deal... Power conditioners DO have a break in period. After about 3-4 days, the music sounded as good as it did before. I can't say it sounds better but at least the equipment is warrantied against... 
Rega Planet 2000 vs Theta Miles
Thanks for your confirmation that I made the right decision. I ordered the Miles on Friday and it will be here Wednesday. The reviews I have read plus your input are making me anxious for Wednesday to get here soon.

Gunbei, Does your transport play cdr's? 
Break in period for power conditioners ?
Thanks guys. Played the system a little tonight. It seems that it may be coming around some. Nowhere near as thin as it was. Still not as warm as it should be but getting there hopefully. At this point more analytical than I'm used too. I'll give ... 
This ever happen to you?
System, Oh... you don't remember. Well we were at your house listening to music yesterday when you suddenly said something about it making some wierd kinda noise. None of us heard it but you kept insisting that you did. It seemed to upset you that...

Advise sought on Adcom 5800/5802
From what I've heard the 5800 is a dog. Stay away. Don't know about the 5802. Check the reviews. I would consider a Conrad Johnson amp to go with the preamp you already have. MF series is a good solid state choice. There are some available on the ... 
Some Fun? "B" Groups/Performers??
REO Speedwagon, Though they did hit big with "High Infidelity" they had many previous albums as good and better. "REO TWO" possibly their best though poorly recorded. "You can Tuna Piano..." and "Nine Lives" are also very good. Most people think o...

The best sub $1000 cd player
You may already have it or very close to it. The 980 has dual 20 bit Burr Brown DAC's and was rated as better than the Rotel 971?. However from what I've seen the Rega Planet consistantly is the winner of the sub $1k cdp's on this site.BTW I too h...

Your favorite blues album?
Right now my favorite is Keb Mo "Just Like You". Excellent sonics, an excellent songwriter, emotionally involving and a good mix of accoustic and electric. If you are into electric, Gary Moore is a good pick. I don't know that I have ever heard a ... 
I normally don't ask for help, but.....
Pefstratiou> I agree that good medicine is a necessity , however there are studies that indicate that those people who are prayed for recover from their illnesses more quickly than those who are not prayed for. Thanks Albert for passing along t...
