Another Use for that HIFI besides music
Somehow, I think in my past I was subjected to the electrodes.--Which explains a lot about me.-- I promise it wasn't the pot;---I never inhaled,ever. 
Hook up-Two amps for in house speakers and 5.1?
If I understand--what you are looking for is a receiver with 2 zone capability. I don't know if stand-alone processors have this feature---but now that I think of it;I guess the new ones must have this too. Me thinks a used receiver in the second ... 
Good AV Receiver with good AM/FM reception.
I have a Marantz sr9300. I use a radio shack passive antenna. I guess it's actually a tv device with the rabbit ears. Placed in the corner on top of sheving;it gets all my stations.This was my FIRST remote fm station,changing device. I have a good... 
Tubes and microphonics
I just bought a new amp (Dehav,Aries g). I also bought some of those Herbie tube dampers--Oh ya, the ball footers too. Cheap enough. Makes me feel 'covered'. 
Music you didn't like at first... but now?
In that video show they mention a double album by GJ; sort of a greatest hits,I guess---That I plan to buy.Since seeing this show I find my self listening to the digital C&W music channels---going back and forth between 'today' and 'classics'.... 
Music you didn't like at first... but now?
For me it would be the whole C/W thing.--At 67 I've liked/loved some isolated CW artists,or songs, over the years.Got to see that George Jones tribute on Voom. I've watched it 4 times.-- With a half decent sound system the vocal abilities shine. I... 
Antique Sound Lab 805 DT SETs--WOW
Changing and moving up for better sound IS what it's all about.--My hearing is not much better--should rephrase and say---maybe not as good.But that doesn't keep my joy-of-the-search muted.--Nor the joy when your system becomes elevated by 'that' ... 
Song intros that really grab you? ?
Roundabout??Yes. 
Stillpoints vs Symposium Rollerballs
Jee,I wonder where/how Stevie Wonder buys his bread? I also 'wonder' if he buys 'weak-old',Wonder bread?But seriously folks; ain't that what the forums are for?----Well,it U sta-B. I just got some of those Herbie damp-er-things. I ain't got 'em ye... 
Many questions tube/solid state amps
I run my system at least that many hrs,as well.AND, yup, tubes cost money.But hey, my power co. loves me.I do both 2ch and ht in the same room. Anybody that thinks tubes ain't for HT may not have the right tube amps and speaker combos. While I hav... 
Blu-Ray and HD DVD
Good example of price-dropping. The first prgressive scan dvd player had a price tag of 3k. 
The black hole of component repair?
Mchd1.---Yes, to heap insult upon injury---Your piece has a problem and everybody you come in contact just lies and lies. On a new JVC tv, I had an issue. I call Good Guys--they never heard of it. I call JVC---they never heard of it.---3weeks late... 
The black hole of component repair?
Edisilva:--- Didn't notice it was missing till you got moved???? Reminds me of when I was a little tyke of about 3 or4. Our family moved; but I found them.--- Then there is the thread I never started about things on hand needing repair.---Because ... 
Projector with very low noise fan
Out of budget but my Sim2 is inches from my head and is dead silent to me. Before the Sim, I had a Sanyo plv70 and the nieghbors would complain when the fan speed would change to hi.-----So,yes, they differ. 
Rowlands vs. Levinson Amps.
Hey Johnny M. I just checked out your system. My how the mighty have fallen---Didn't see no toobs'.--Still got my 5's.(4 years latter)---You really need the aggravation that only tubes can bring.(Ask me).
