Yamaha RX-Z7 or DENON AVR-4308ci
While I have the 4308ci; I have no input on the Yamy piece. I have owned this for almost a year. While there are receivers above and below this level I feel this is a great "mid-level" receiver. I has most of the features and ease of setup and use... 
Why can't my 32" Sony LCD show component out?
I have since sold my Sony 32 xbr6 but it worked w/ vcr/ dvd and blue ray; oh, and cable boxes of standard and HD--(had one of ea.)---Maybe the color cables aren't red to red and such??Check them? 
Are There Any Good, High Power Solid State Amps?
I run the CJ 350,a SS design.--It does sound better NOT plugged into my Audience conditioner. 
CD players and HDMI
Perhaps another way of stating things is hdmi was implemented for blue ray picture and sound. Because of the higher bit rate storage, these discs along with their audio is of this higher bit-rate. There are few 2ch blue ray discs and or few 2ch pr... 
Are 90's mid-fi units as good as hi-fi from 80's
Speaking in general( to sound improvements of late)---(and in tvs,no less) I have had two new tvs in the past 12 months. #1 was the Sony xbr-6. This thing, for what it, is is pretty amazing;and for such small speakers---ok, no bass below 200hrtz b... 
Most agreed upon best speaker?
--Me,3 on Unsound's choice--whatever those happen to be.Who said we can't agree?? 
Redefining "Universal Player"
I would think we have to add netflix and pandora streaming to "such a universal player";NO??? 
Use Pioneer 45a DAC's or Elite Receiver?
Does this not have the analog 5.1--(or 7.1) outlets??Sure it may have the analog output but that would only get you stereo. I would say stay with the coax to the receiver. 
Tired of Problems with Tube Equipment
Well like many threads;this can have a life of its own.So, I can just post my own thoughts for comparison. I have had at least 10 tube class a,a/b amps. Two of these being CJ brand, the 5's and 8's. My 5's blew about 25 fuses in 4 years (bias resi... 
Small Room - VR4jr or Gallo Ref 3.1
You have a similar problem that I also have. i.e. being up against it in the speaker/room size limitation. All the big and better speakers go for naught in "our size rooms". BTW, both of your candidates are excellent speakers. Spend the bucks on g... 
REVIEW: Purist 20th Anniversary Contego Power Cord
I appreciate the mini review. While this cord comes at a good price (expensive) it's nice to know you feel you have gotten your money's worth. Also, I feel when you get one on the source you will double your peasure all over again, (to be sure).I ... 
Stereophile claims about Magico
Sorry if this is to obvious but the perfect speaker doesn't exist so I guess any claim is just that,a claim.Having been here at the site, for long-time; I know so many love to trash the mags.---However just from having read their constant trashing... 
Stereophile claims about Magico
I thought the TAS review was better. Stereophile spends 1/3 of the space discussing their policy on # of dealers required to qualify for their reviewing a product. TAS has more meat. Of course all reviews have the same purpose. 
How to evaluate amps that are not broken in?
I thought everybody knew---The parts in 'some' amps take 400 hrs/ or longer. I'm sure many amps don't take that long. Many speakers are worse on break in.---Most all cables take 24/7 for 7 days.---Most digital takes that same as cables;amount of t... 
Reliability of tubes/ Belles 150A vs Jolida 801A?
I am sure everybody here understands and respects how it "is", when your dealer is doing everything a GREAT dealer does.---OK, maybe I was a bit over enthusiastic with the "toy" reference.--BUT--I'm sure you will love this amp. I kept mine for 4 m...
