Any 5.1 processor with integrated 3 ch amp
The B&K is a good performer all around, but I did not like the ergonomics.I confess I have never owned the AVR202 - and I meant to indicate this in my previous post. I have however owned a great deal of other B&K gear, and based my suggest... 
Any 5.1 processor with integrated 3 ch amp
I know of only 1 such pre-pro, made by AMC and it's a very basic unit with Pro-Logic only. I think your best option would be a HT Receiver as Reubent suggested. However, low-end receivers are very marginal (been there, done that) performers. Depen... 
Most involving and thrilling moviemusic?
great thread - I became a real fan of Movie soundtracks last year. Here are my favorites, generally in order of favoritism - many already mentioned above:"Winged Migration""Gladiator""The DaVinci Code""Whale Rider""Koyyanniquatsi" and "Powaquatsi"... 
Ground Loop Hum - Partially Identified - Solution?
Sorry Ckoffend - I hope I didn't raise too much confusion for you. My comment about B&K amps applies to their POWER amps, not receivers or preamps. I should also say that my statement is based on my experience opening up several B&K amps I... 
Which is the best version of Famous Blue Raincoat?
I originally bought it on CD (cat # 258418) and was dissappointed in the sonics. Last year I picked up an LP and it's wonderful (Cypress Records cat# PL90048 - I believe it's a German pressing). The LP isn't very heavy - indeed it's pretty light w...

How do you pay? Why?
I prefer Paypal both selling and buying. I don't charge the fee when selling, however on a big ticket item, that cost may come into play in my willingness to sell at a lower offer. For example if the guy is local, is picking up the item and paying... 
Preamp with lots of outputs?
Doug, look at the first 2 replies. I see 2 sincere and polite attempts to answer your question. Your response is to blast both of them. It's a great way to provoke the reaction you received.Whether your question was stated correctly or not, it's v...

Wrong cartridge for my MMF 2.1
it sounds to me that you simply pulled out the Stylus assembly from the cartridge. You need to unscrew the screws on the top of the tonearm headshell. The cartridge will drop down exposing the 4 connector wires and connection posts. You remove tho... 
Ground Loop Hum - Partially Identified - Solution?
I don't think a cheater plug is a fire hazard, but it's kind of counter logical to obsess over power cords in this hobby and put one of those in between it and the outlet.As far as OK? goes - I was told to lift the ground by the Designer/Mfg of my... 
When is your system good enough-and why?
Aren't all hobbies about the journey, and not whether you reach a destination? That's my approach to this hobby. To quote . . .03-21-07: Onhwy61My system was good enough way back in 1988. But that didn't stop me. . . in my case it was 1975.
