HDTV & current DVD players - What do WE do?
Somehow I just don't understand HOW we have both HD and Blueray(incompatibles) in the marketplace.(almost) I wonder how long before we get a universal player? My 2 year old Mits.crt has an analog dvi so I'm out of luck. 
Definition of Local Dealer
I believe this distance does vary from product manufacture to prod' mfg'. They do have different rules for distances. A few years back we had a dock strike. No product was available on the west coast. I was not able to buy on line;and I was RTB . ... 
I think it is time to retire
I think we have the "egg,first vs the chicken first" Is it the love of music/love of money?? 
Now, finally, just the music
I guess the music comes as #1. When I bought my brand new speakers in late Jan I knew not to expect too much till they get some miles on them. So,--me-- I'm in the relaxed mode.(and paitent) New speakers r always fun!!

I used to own one of these--- Meridian 565 with the 7.1 upgrade. There is (or was?) one 4sale now. I swear you couldn't do better at 2xs the price.

Speaker cables being pricier than main speakers
My Wilson Sophia 2's have a used 600 set of Au 24's connected. At this 600 price it would take 25 pairs to equal the speakers' price. (Speakers were bought new.) 
I hope break in is true
-- This is my 'best-example' for breakin being a real thing.---About 6 years ago I bought a brand new "Purcell". I placed it in the chain.( Between a Theta Data 3 and a Gen 5a) I kept it powered up 24/7. About a month or 2 latter I'm thinking this... 
Expectations low, listening pleasure high.
I'm kinda with Plato on this. I listen to a boombox or car radio all day. I find while I enjoy the music I know this/that selection, would sound so much better in the living room.--Love my Wilsons--. 
Another Dealer sets the Bar LOW
I think after having been in this hobby for some 30+ years----I just know what to expect from a dealer. That translates to : expect the worst and maybe,be suprised, if that doesn't happen. With the internet sucking away a good part of their busine...

Do any of you fear dismantling your setups?
I have such a complex mix of 2ch and HT in one room__ Moving it?? Well root canal or taxes seem about equal. 
Need help - High-end cabling strategy
I guess it depends on just how obsessive one is. With all new parts; I would have to listen and observe--and mostly enjoy what I had just bought. Then after a time you will be more familiar wih what U got and be able to perceive good from better c...
