What are some excellent mid -priced tuners?
Get a Magnum Dynalab Etude, MD100 or MD102. The Etude can usually be found used on Audiogon. The MD100 is the newest release of the Etude model. The MD102 is the best SS tuner out there. Like Gthrush1 said, get a Yagi and put in on your roof. If y...

David99, my power supply is humming a bit. But I don't want to be drilling holes into it because I think this would pretty much void my warranty and decrease resale value. It sounds quite good now and the hum is barely audible, so I think I can li... 
Looking for warmth,openess, detail
Bluenose, I totally agree! I replaced all my Cardas stuff with the Virtual Dynamics and the difference was HUGE!Like you said, everything is so much cleaner and more musical.

Johnny, I have to agree with Breuninger, he knows what he's talking about. I tried the same thing, and it doesn't work... I did what you are trying, TUBES. This will solve most of your problems. 
Denon DCD 3300, or Yamaha CDX 5000 Cd Player.
Both are quite old school. In this price range, your money would be better spend on something like the NAD 541 with HDCD decoder. I had it once and it was quite good for the price.

Do you use spikes for tile/marbel floor?
4 pennies per speaker. This is the way to go.Cheap and doesn't muck up the hardwood floor. 
What is happening with some of these ads?
This never happened to me! Curious though, I would also be kinda ticked.

One word: "Tubes"...I travelled the upgrade path and tubes is where it's at. Of course it's worth it! But if you're short on cash, the best thing to do is stay away from this site and enjoy your system as it is. And definitely avoid the rags too.B... 
Opinions needed; which is a better choice and why?
Meby! Stay away from those HiFi shops!!! Buy everything on Audiogon. You will save at least 50% overall. And when you upgrade, you won't lose much money by selling your components. When I started, I did the same as you. I bought EVERYTING at the H...

I believe it was released in Europe in September 2001.It was released in N America a few months ago I think. There's one for sale on this site and the seller says that he was the 1st owner and he purchased it in Sept 2001. Just wondering if it is ... 
Integrated Shootout: Rogue Tempest/Cary Sli80 sig
The Planet is a good little player for the money. But there are better out there for a little more $$$. 
Brightness Differences Between Daytime and Evening
Hmmm.... I guess I'll just have to work during the day like everybody else. I would feel better putting the money into a P300 or a new DAC. It gets dark quite early here in the great white north anyways :) 
What's inside these aluminum/metal cases?
