Cheap tweaks...What would YOU reccomend?
I think for hands free operation; one could take an old pair of headphones/ place them behind the ears and then pull them forward till your ears flap forward??? 
Cheap tweaks...What would YOU reccomend?
Pretty much a freeby: Wrap your digital cable with about 7/8 layers of tinfoil.--Pull of the roll, the length of your cable.Lay the foil on the table--Then the cable; Roll and squeeze it tight. If it doesn't help you are out maybe 40cents. Look fo... 
What's the story on auto sound calibration SSP's
It's funny how some technology seems new. A 13 year old Meridian 565 has a place in the set-up menu where you put in the measurement--distance--(how far from the chair;each speaker is). I can tell you it works well. Then,after this model-- no more... 
RACMANINOFF PIANO CONCERTO 2
Well the version from lazer disc w/ Lenny and Alexis Wisenburg gives me chills. No other version does this. Lenny just seems to milk this performance for all it's worth. 
Audience AU 24 interconnects for the following?
I have had AU24's in my system since they came out. I think for what you pay,(used,of course)they are special. I recently changed to VD,master 3.0; @ 4 x's the used price. Sure the VD's are a bit better. I hear no night/day difference in the bass-... 
Implications of Esoteric G-0Rb atomic clock
I read some of the article but the price of the trio left me speechless.

Value in
With regards to the electronics part of your post-- I rec. stay away from older gear. Like as in; if a transformer goes bad you have to replace both of 'em. Maybe it's ok if that co. is still in business--OR--maybe the down time and expense of suc... 
It is 2008 do you know the best start up speaker
How about a new speaker from an old co.? TAS does a review of the MartinLogan "Source", @ $1995.00,--in the latest issue. 'Made me want to hear how true the hubub is. 
Most important component??
Hey Duke, I got a 2party check from Outer Mongolia;that be good? I do love your explanation. 
Your ears and mood..
Jeez, the way we spend money and use tweaks--you gotta come up with another reason we need shrinks??? If your mind is wandering,put a gps device on it so you don't loose it altogether. 
Speaker Cables...Opinions....
When you get around to it you will find your digital is dated---I owned those dcs pieces you have 7/8 years ago. Then I bought Audiomeca Enkainthus(dac/only) put lots of money back in my pocket,when I sold the dcs stuff. That was a pretty huge ste... 
Cable connection
I have never owned a balanced cable,so all I can do is repeat from a Stereophile article/from years ago. It goes something like this,that unless your system is true balanced from source to amp you loose the benifit of balanced. In this case your p... 
Would an upconvertind player be an improvement?
Since HD dvd is now on its way out---and if you haven't made that jump;no sense buying a combo player. Any of the older 1080i tvs (without hdmi)can only be connected via component;and component forces you to use the next lower resolution--720. (fo... 
Preamps with large display needed for bad eyesight
As I get older the writing gets smaller on everything.(it seems) Not that my eyesight is fading;at 70.(???)
