channel cutting in and out
I agree with Shadorne - it's likely a dirty pot. 
budget lcd or plasma: 720p good enough?
I have a 50" 720p DLP display as a main TV, and a HT with 720p front projector on a 10 ft screen (see my system page). It's more than just "decent" IMO and I'm very happy with the resolution (even with the 10 ft dedicated theater), though maybe if... 
Speaker Packing?
I don't think Fedex or UPS will offer that service but may be wrong. There may be local packaging service companies that will do this. That said, building packages for speakers isn't rocket science. Depending on the speaker size it will be labor i... 
Caravan - does anyone listen anymore?
Caravan is a group whose original classic albums are the best way to experience them IMHO.. I agree. This goes for many groups. I find often compilations/best of are inferior to original releases 
Caravan - does anyone listen anymore?
My favorites are "Girls who Grow Plump" , "Waterloo Lily", and "New Symphonia". 
Does anybody listen to 'CAMEL' ?
I should add also that while "I can see your house from here" isn't among their best overall (IMHO), the last track on it - "Ice" is one of the best guitar solos ever and belongs in the Audiogon "Most Achingly Beautiful" list. If you don't have th... 
IEC connector install question
1) I bought a nibbler tool at Radio shack for this purpose. You'll also need files to smooth things out.2) yes, that's what I would do. 
Phono?
I think the best tweak to the Belari would be to do some Tube rolling. You could probably have some fun there. I agree with Riley804 otherwise. IMO the next step from the Belari is probably to sell and add $50 (better still $100+)or so to what you... 
Does anybody listen to 'CAMEL' ?
Camel is one of my favorite bands. I have pretty much all of their albums except a few of the the live/compilations. My favorites are the first 5 (#1, Mirage, Snow Goose, Mooonmadness, and Raindances), and then the last 4 (Dust and Dreams, Harbour... 
Violin concertos/Symphonies....
This is a must have: "Stravaganza: Violin Concerti Op 4 1-12" Antonio Vivaldi (Composer), Arte dei Suonatori (Orchestra), Rachel Podger (Performer)

Terence Balanchard - recommendation
I've been buying every Terence Blanchard release I can find since finding Tale of God's Will. It's one of the best albums I've picked up this year, and still one of my favorites in my collection. 
AC or DC Motor? how do I know - Gyrodec
I'm not familiar with your TT, but if you have an AC motor you'll more than likely have a normal AC power cord with an inboard power supply. If DC, you'll more than likely have a wall-wart or other outboard power supply. If you do have a wall-wart... 
Anyone heard Christian Scott, new trumpeter?
ok, I just ordered Rewind That too. . . . thanks! 
Anyone heard Christian Scott, new trumpeter?
After seeing your post I ordered his CD "Anthem". It was delivered last week and I listened to it for the first time over the weekend. I really like Trumpet led jazz and have a big collection of releases by Miles Davis, Wynton Marsalis, Kenny Whee...
