Cardas Cap Panic Buying
I don't think so. On occasion I have paid a little more than necessary for an item to simply be done with it and on to the next project, not having to shop around any further. 
Absolute Best DVD Player?
My pleasure Charles. My Pioneer DV-37 is sweet, if not the absolute best on the planet, (killer cd playback) ,w/progressive scan. Should outgun the DV-09.

Transparent Cables - Worth the money?
Hi Jim, I didn't think Keriadums post presented any conflict of interest, he seemed to offer good advice based on his experience, and I didn't notice him trying to sell anything. Why discourage someone with a lot of audio experience from posting j... 
Which is better: separates or receiver?
Kt, and jerie make good points. If you max out your budget and get used gear you can get a good seperates system, but if you also think about getting a near top of the line receiver like the Denon AVR5700second hand as wel,l you can have almost ev... 
Which is better: separates or receiver?

Guilty Pleasures
Jctubes, Try track 13 on "Mule Variations", that song can stir the coldest heart . I certainly can understand calling Tom Waits an aquired taste, but not in "the least". Any songwriter knows that his writing can be stunning, even if his personal i... 
Guilty Pleasures
Sometimes I like the Stones "trippy" stuff, like , "She's a Rainbow", "Child of the Moon", "Dandelion", "Cool Calm Collected", "2000 Light Years From Home", Mother's Little Helper", "Play With Fire", and my favorite "Ruby Tuesday". Also, anything ... 
Smooth, Warm Digital Cable?
Audition the Ensemble "Digiflux" at The Cable Company. (fatwyre@fatwyre.com) Costs only $99, discounted from $250. I tried 4 digital cables and it was the most "liquid" of all.
