What do I do with my Pioneer DV-09 DVD Player?
Had one of those puppys back in the day, also. ---Used;expect to get $450 if you're lucky.--In reference to picture quality----THAT depends on what display it's hooked up to. Once you have a display that allows progressive input;--expect a 79 doll... 
Anyone with a high-end home theater sans sub?
I used to own Aerial 10ts and a Meridian processor.(One dynamic combo this is.)It depends on your room and what you are comparing your bass to.--?? The high end store that tries to deafen you with multiple subs?? Is that what you like??--You in th... 
Performance loss in used amplifiers?
Hey;--Thanks for the help, Marakanetz---I will see what they can do for me. Looking for Randy White seems a lost cause. My experience has led me to stay away from older SS amps. 
Popping from light switches and refrigerator
I had a similar--(I think)-- situation to that you describe. It turned out to be the common behind the meter where the power comes in from the street. 
Performance loss in used amplifiers?
I own the 'boat-anchor' called White Audio Labs A100. I don't know how old it is but it has a blown transformer for 1 ch. The place that diagnosed the prob.says both trannies should be replaced. Where does one get these? and, how much for the part... 
Denon DVD-5910 Transport for a DAC???
For top notch cd plaback your Denon will be the limiting factor. I think unless you go big-buck, DCS,all the way---then don't go there at all.(Delies and Purcell are "their" entry level.) My Audiomecca Enkainthus bettered that combo and at half th... 
Montana speakers, musical? Good Value????
I owned EPS's for about 3 years. I was happy till I started to play with horns first;then moved to Merlin mm's then Wilson Sophia. Everything I owned after the EPS told me while they have great tuneful bass they are a bit recessed in the upper ran... 
Convergent Aud orOtherBrands LetteringRubbingOff?
As a cat owner, the crappy selector switches have caused me much more grief. Between both pieces you have to do a balancing act to remove this from the rack / oh,ya, same fun putting it back. Having 4 thumbs on each hand hasn't helped either. 
BEST LOW VOLUME FULL RANGE SPEAKERS?
Nice post,Duke--as usual. I too hate caps.I never read everything that the thread starter had to say.Does not a pre with a linear volume control help in this area,as well??--Along with all the right pieces?? 
With all your knowlege you have gained over time,
Start out by having somebody "Ice-pick me in the ears" ----buy Bose eqp. and be many bucks ahead. But jeez;look at how much fun I would have missed out on; from buying the wrong stuff. 
Tyler Accoustics....a true pleasure to deal with..
Not to diminish your thoughts but I find many MFG's like this, when you are a potential customer;which isn't to hard to understand. The real test comes when you have a problem/complaint. AND, don't even think about product comparison/price/value w... 
Wilson Sophia 2
I have already called my dealer. I expect it will be a better speaker and of just about as much importance: The price will drop on the version 1----We all know how that goes. 
Universal Players: Video Quality?
Yes, just the passage of time has brought video to a higher caliber. Then, to what display? becomes of importance. Some display devices accept dvi and convert it back to analog.--You'll want to make sure your tv doesn't do this. Were I in this pos... 
What Bryston says about power cord...
Jeffreybear; I would guess why I get such improvement is I live in a 94 unit complex.--Can't be doing any of that there ded.-lines,thing, here. I guess the rest depends on the resolution of the system and ones desire along with their own ears.To m... 
Pre/power or Int Amp for Wilson Sophias?
Yep,own the speakers. This is just my opinion: I think you should set your sites a little higher and go with separates. I have a high end set of tube monos (CJ8xs) and a SS stereo amp (Belles 150a reference) Sure I can hear the dif. in the amp (s)...
