Wanted: Exceptional preamp w/remote
Ops,The reference to Larry's thread is "hifi opinion- nothing more" . I owned Jule Electra 3 years;now cat owner.Had both for 3 mos.---guess that expresses my feelings on that!

HiFi is an opinion - nothing more
How many "Larrys" can you get in a v-dub? --Cremated? 30 or so in the ash tray alone.There are many hobies I know nothing at all about.However,I know I know nothing, therefore I don't make an ass out of myself,with stupidity.Welcome to the sight L... 
How about Nestorovic speakers?
Have a friend who had a friend,who had the 5a-something. I listened 7years ago.7years ago It was better than my Mirage 3si.Stereophile gave them a class -B.That should tell us something.From my recollection of the review,Too many drivers,phase /ar... 
Love of MUSIC or love of GEAR
As a true audiophile,I enjoy any instrament live,or any music live,need not be virtuosos. I have a zillion favorite songs/pieces.And just enough credit to get me in serious trouble. 
Best Bach Toccatta and Fugue in D Minor
Michael, Murphy Direct disc,a stunner!! 
Rock and Roll Snobbery
Ok,I remember when they did the review for Jadis JP80, a pre that costs 18,000 the reviewers said it did classical music better---figure that one out folks!!Not that long ago--last year or so. 
What aspect ratio screen I should buy?
Well,either way,you're going to have black bars somewhere. At the top/bottom or at the sides. The world isn't all one or the other.I assume dvd and Direct tv's hdtv would be the enticements-go for the widescreen.So you'll have black sides on 1:33 ... 
Tinnitus anyone?
Sad subject;different source. For 100's of years my main passion was Motorcycling -dirt and street.We would race for hrs at 100+mph/you get off the bike,your ears would be ringing for hrs after.Same for in the dirt.Even with the soft ear plugs.So ... 
Newbie to HT - Optical vs Digital Coax
Jeff, never heard that one before/I like it. Wonder why some of the new guys don't go back to see if their topic hasn't been discussed 20/30 times already? Mr.Newbie, If you can change the player for not much money/ I would. Happy holidays. 
High Fidelity Sex Objects
Clowndon, your thread title and subsequent second post; chastising the first respondent, reminds me of the "girl of the night"/walking down Hollywood Blvd/ in her hotpants/ and complaining about all the guys comming on to her. EH? 
Are dolby digital and AC-3 the same?
A bit more light to help confuse.Did you know the AC-3 from the LD transport can not be carried by a Illuminatins D-60? It requires a video cable.I also had the same Pioneer AC-3processor. I sold mine to get Lazer DTS capability,before DVD came ou... 
Are dolby digital and AC-3 the same?
Julpay: Nope! There are 2 kinds of dts as well. Ac3 "was" or refers to the Lazer disc"type" of dd.That is why a modulator is needed to decode them.(or transfer the signal). The first DTS for lazer discs also works with the audio only cds in DTS. T... 
How Much Do You Need to Spend on a PC?
"All Things Must Pass" is barely a so so sounding cd.Too bad. For Tom-M;A good pre would be a place to start. Good power cords will help what you have now;but as chef Emeile might say; "Lets crank it up to the next level" is what happens with a go... 
How Much Do You Need to Spend on a PC?
Buy used ones./Pc,Ics, Spk.wires : all help.If you have midfi,you might want to upgrade your transport,or any of the other pieces first.I don't know what you got,or how much bucks you got or how much desire to improve what you got;you have. I have...
