Denver used market?
@grahamk   Sorry for your loss.  As for dealers in the Denver area, I would think your best bet is to simply call a few.  Any that are not interested may be able to steer you to someone who is.  Then you may want to consult HiFi Shark web site for... 
What Holiday Gifts did you ask for or Give to Yourself?
In Canada we also celebrate Boxing Day.  I'm thinking of buying myself a set of speaker cables.  I don't really need them but it's such a good deal.  A brand new member to Audiogon has just put up for sale, a pair of Nordost Valhalla ll reference ... 
What Holiday Gifts did you ask for or Give to Yourself?
Gave myself the gift of friends for Christmas dinner.  About to start the prep for a huge seafood Paella in my brand new 18/10 SS 16 inch pan.  That's stainless steel not solid state.  🤣  Best of the season to all.    
Robert Plant
+1 for Raising Sand.  IMHO it's some of Plant's best vocal work.  As for Zep, I tend to go back to Zep lll more than the others.    
No sneering Please
@bigkidz  I don't know any reviewers.  I'm not in the industry.  I'm just a retired guy who loves music.  I didn't mean any offence when I questioned your statement.  I just don't get all the negative comments about reviews.  Call me naive, but I ... 
Jazz LP Audiophile Recommendations
@russellrcncom  I only have this on CD, but Gerry Mulligan - Dragonfly   Great list of artists helping out on this recording.  While the entire disc is great, the second track is a real stand out.  One of my go to selections when I want to let my ... 
No sneering Please
Very interesting review.  Not sure why @bigkidz discounts the use of reviews that come from credible sources.  I for one don't have the opportunity to run out and buy, or demo everything that comes along so the reviewer plays an important role in ... 
Whats on your turntable tonight?
David Bromberg - Try Me One More Time.  An entire set of just David and his guitar.  Fantastic!

@stuartk  I think you have me mixed up with some other contributor.  Those aren't my words.  I had to google  "sibilant" to get the meaning. 😆  I have never experienced the effect in my system so can't speak to it.  Luckily the only thing that giv... 
REL .LFE input
My guess is it's up to the mix on each recording.  The bass is often positioned in the center, and that mix has equal bass on both channels,  so you would be fine.  Again, it would depend on the mix.    
Happy Holidays and Your Favorite Tips?
Constantly have a book or two on the go.  Read every day.  
Power conditioners
Make sure you can return the equipment for a full refund if you are not happy.  If you don't have issues with your set up now.......   IMHO   
REL owners, how many clicks on your gain and crossover
REL recommends disconnecting the yellow wire only if you find there is just too much volume coming from the subs.  Leaving the one wire off lowers the signal and that is the only reason.  I would try the standard hook up first.  There's a reason t...

Good one.  🤣

@mahgister  You mention the use of an ionizer in your room.  I hope you have purchased one that specifically does not produce any Ozone.  There are many warnings about the potential health hazards of breathing ozone.  Ionizers are not regulated in...
