Choosing a Floorstander by Footprint Size
Yes Wolfie, please, if you aren't going to add anything to the thread, just keep quiet ;-)Besides, I bet those silverlines sound awful once you get them home from best buy! 
Parasound Z DAC
Hey, Hawk, sorry for the delayed response. I'm using my z dac as an outboard dac for a musical fidelity a3.2 cd player and as a dac connected a wadia 170i streaming spotify on an iphone. I must say initially I couldn't hear a difference between th... 
one 12in sub or 2 8 inch subs
I'd personally go with a pair of svs sb12 nsd's. I had an svs sb12 plus which was the predesessor to the sb12 nsd and it was a great sub. I would have kept it but the color didn't match the rest of my gear, and I was having a hard time finding ano... 
Why are we going 300 or more directions?
Dang, all of a sudden I feel really dumb. LoL 
Help my budding audiophile brother
Lol, I'm doing alot of talking to myself on this thread; hopefully someone else will get something out of it later.So I bought an apple tv to give it a try and see how it sounded in my set-up. In my application, it did not work. It was pretty jitt... 
Help my budding audiophile brother
Hey, Allison2, do you know if it's the same quality as docking your phone on a wadia 170 and plugging the wadia into the dac? If so, why did I buy a Wadia?? Grrr.... 
Help my budding audiophile brother
So just to update the thread, my brother ended up getting (based on my recommendations) a Peachtree Nova Pre and a Peachtree 220 amp. He bought both pieces for $1800, which included shipping, from a gentleman named Burt at Seattle Hi Fi. I must sa... 
Help my budding audiophile brother
Just to add a little bit to my o.p. we are looking at peachtree nova 125's now and running it through sonos. What are your guys oppinions on the nova 125?

I suspect 2 is better than one.

Mf customer service is horrible. Good luck getting parts for your broken equipment. Just give them a call, er e-mail; oh ya, I forgot, you can't. Let us know if you get it working before 2014. 
Lightspeed attenuator lithium battery pack
Thank you very much; found it no problem! Just wasn't sure which ones would work but since that is the one you are using, then it obviously works :-)Which interconnects in the $80-$100 price range do you like? And, do you think three foot lengths ... 
Musical Fidelity is really makin me mad
Thank you Hotmail, now I know I'm not alone. 
Gold Point Passive pre-amp
Clio, I live in CO, that would be awesome if you'd be able to let me check one out, if not, it's all good and thanks for the thought. I think the gold points looks nice; I like that they have a balanced option. I was also investigating lightspeed ... 
How to evaluate CD DAC vs. outboard DAC quality
I agree with Elizabeth. Newer isn't akways better and there are other factors involved in how a dac sounds besides the chip used. It's like a quality 100 watt amp sounding better than a crappy one that's rated at 1,000 watts. I can't hear a differ... 
Vandersteen 2CE Vs. Von Schweikert VR-2100
I'm pretty sure they are the soft domes. They image okay, just not as precise as my paradigm studio's or my kef's. they are slightly more diffuse in there imaging. They work properly, to the best of my knowledge.
