Thanks, came in handy! 
Best Blues Rock recommendations?
Indeginous is a great new(er) blues/rock band that happens to be Native American and I think all from the same family. Their lead guitar Mato Nanji is excellent. Favorite fun CD would have to be "Family Style" by Jimmy and Stevie Ray Vaughan. 
Have you tried "doping" your speaker cones?
Everbody talks about light moving mass but many speaker manufaturers modify the drivers they use by adding damping material. An older Dalquast(sp) Moniter had some sort of putty on the front of the woofer. someone was marketing a doping mod for Mi... 
Okay, the gloves are off. Let the fur fly
Two full range single drivers, lets see. The sphere is the perfect shape for optimum radiation. Perhaps two pulsating balls hanging in air... wait, that sounds disgusting! 
odyssey amp's how do they compare to others
Why so many great reviews? Ask why someone trashes them when they havnt even listened to them. I want to hear from people who know of what they speak (have at least heard the thing they are trashing). Who has compared these amps to other well know... 
Can you help or do I have to get divorced?
Check out the new Meadowlark monitor that is front ported and designed to work on a shelf or in a cabinet. 
Sugden in US?
Thanks to all. 
No Sellers willing to do COD anymore???
Jeff says he wont COD "on principle". Is there something inherently wrong or evil about COD? A lot of us dont have much feedback and I for one have been lied to over the phone. Sincerly, no offence intended, but COD works for me and Im honest. I h... 
Acurus A200 vs Adcom 5800
The Aragon 8008BB would be another good choice, the Acurus coming in last on your list. Sell all of your preamps, you can really improve there. The Adcom 750 pre is a Pass design and a great value used. 
No Sellers willing to do COD anymore???
I have had only good results with CODs (8). I try to find stuff that is not TOO far away to limit damage risk. Feedback is a great idea but a lot of members dont bother posting even if you ask. One guy said he would and never did even after I had ... 
Turntable upgrade: What to do?
Michell and Nottingham are two British manufacturers that have quietly produced some of the best TTs at their price points for decades. Some recent designs from others look a lot like the Orb and Space Deck, which have been around for years. 
Do you approve of "How Stereophile Market itself"?
I had a similar experience with LISTENER. I accepted their offer to send me a free copy. About two weeks later I recieved the same copy I got the coupon out of. I didnt respond and verify that I wanted to subscribe. First came the reminder notes, ... 
Is there any such thing as a high end receiver?
Magnum Research, the maker or some of the best tuners you can buy offers a reciever now. I think the model is the 208(?) and it features an excellent Sim Audio amplifier section. High end it is. 
AMC out of favor?
AMC has had Q-control problems that have been dicussed on the web before. My own experience is with my old AMC CDP. It still sounds better than a lot of players that cost more, but sometimes the display fails to come on at first and you have to se... 
What Budget turntable should I buy?
I would recommend the Rotel RQ-970BX phono preamp. It will handle mm or mc, has excellent parts quality and sounds much better than it should for $200 list (a steal). Rega has always been good value and Project offers great table/arm/cartridge com...
