Hi end audio stores in Miami, Ft lauderdale area?
I live 10 miles west of Hollywood Sound, and Larry is awesome. He knows good sound...highly recommended. 
PMC vs. Salk Sound Speakers. Which is better?
Audiozen,Perhaps you are confused in regards to number of parts and sound quality. Some of the world's most highly-regarded speakers have very few parts. Take Fried speakers, for example. Their designer, Bud Fried, used anywhere from 6-10 parts p/... 
The most overlooked album
I love Ryan Adams. I do NOT love his wife. Sorry Jeff 1951 :( 
New Bowie album
I really wanted to like it, but my god, it is perhaps the most over-produced junk I now have in my CD collection. BTW, I am a huge Bowie fan. As I listened to it for the first time, I quickly realized that the album is a classic example of fine mu... 
AC power delivery and Power conditioners.
My experience with APC (I have an S-10) has been superb with tube and SS amps and preamps. My Quicksilver M60s plugged into the wall passed a tremendous amount of AC noise. Plugged into the APC...dead quiet. The APCs have also received great revie... 
Opinions on Land Rover LR2
No one cares what kind of cars you drive...really. 
"Dented tweeters — Does not affect sound "
Yes, if God meant for tweeter domes to be dented, he would have made them that way. 
Static electricity Killin me.
I actually killed my wall thermostat w/static elec once and had this problem w/my stereo in cold, dry Virginia. I solved it by grabbing one leg of my metal rack before touching a component. 
How do I smooth out violins?
Musicfile,Good suggestions, but finances don't allow for replacing caps in the DNA and a tube pre...will have to go with just the pre for now. 
How do I smooth out violins?
My, I see that there are quite a few variables here, and Jult52, my issue is also massed violins, so it's good to know that you improved their sound with jitter control. Ironically, I don't remember having this problem in an earlier system (differ... 
How do I smooth out violins?
Gentleman,First of all, many thanks for such informative (and spirited) responses, and I failed to mention that I do have all of my components plugged into an APC S-15 power conditioner/sine wave generator/battery backup. I think that I will check... 
How many watts per channel are enough?
Agree w/Zd524...I had two 25W amps (one tube and one SS), and the tube amp hit a brick wall REAL quick, while the SS seemingly never got tired. It's more about impedance swings and phase angle, not sensitivity. 
Jolida 502BRC turning off uncontrollably
If it has JJ Teslas, remove them ASAP...they are crap. 
Wheels under tube amps?
I tried this once only to return home from work some days and notice that my amps would have moved to other rooms just for laughs...those wily rascals. 
Jagger gets a real job, finally.
Mick Jagger is a musical GENIUS, and he deserves every cent he makes, just like McCartney, Dylan, Plant, Gilmour, and the rest of the Pantheon. They are artists who have brought incalculable pleasure to millions, and that is worth a hell of a lot ...
