Do Audiophiles really like music?
Tmrhu, excellent point about live music and the sound levels, and that's one reason I invested in a pair of custom ear plugs (175.00 and worth 10 times that) that attenuate frequencies evenly. I refuse to hear live music without them. 
Hearing loss and center image
Gentlemen, thanks for your help, and I'm glad to know that there are some folks out there who have the same problem. Lrsky, is this MAC you refer to a Macintosh model? Thanks. 
Any system ever moved you emotionally like this?
The only music that creates this type of strong emotion for me is opera or live electric guitar where the composer/writer uses long lines and phrasing, e.g. in ilTravetore and some of Knopfler's live solo work. And if Alex Lifeson can't evoke trem... 
Do Audiophiles really like music?
I like to think that audiophiles can be divided into two groups -- those who love gear and like music and those who love gear and love music. I've worked with and spoken to people who have multi-K systems and can recite every spec of any piece of ... 
Awful sound from B&W's: Break In needed?
Let them play for the maual's suggested break-in time, and if they still sound bad, get rid of them! Trying to "fix" the rest of your system will only lead to stress and expenditure. I'm interested in whether you auditioned these before you purcha... 
Clever Little Clock - high-end audio insanity?
Yes. Hi-end audio insanity. 
musical drummers...who are they ???
Ditto for Watts . . . his biggest influences are guys like Max Roach and the jazz greats. 
recomended musical sub for 2 channel audio
Or 2 REL Strata IIIs (total $1600-1800 used), as this might improve LF frequency response. I run one in an 17X15 room, and it could use another. The ML is also excellent. 
Mesa Boogie Tube amps interested in your thoughts
Aren't these guitar amps? 
If $ was no object what speaker would you buy?
The New York Philharmonic. 
What companies, out of Business, did you LOVE???
I second Nakamichi. I still miss my CD4 CD player (sold it like an idiot). 
Recommend Power Cable for Aragon 4004MK2 amp
You will gain no sonic improvement w/an aftermarket IEC. Aragon knows a thing or two about building amplifiers (I like/have owned their amps, too), and if their amps sounded any better w/aftermarket IECs, you can bet your bottom dollar that they w... 
I am new to this so please be delicate with me...
YES, standard 12ga copper stranded Monster will be perfectly adequate for your application. Buy it, hook it up, and spend the rest of your time and hard-earned money on music! 
Need to turn volumn up to break in speaker cable?
Shadorne, I like the way you think about such burn-in questions, and please God tell me you're joking. Keep up the good work.
