Equipment Break-in: Fact or Fiction
You ever notice that everything always sounds better after its broken in? How could this always be the case? 
A challenging question
Not to rub it in but my Time Warner supplied digital cable box has coax digital out. (Scientific Atlanta) It only has digital sound output on digital channels. The local network channels are not digital, only the cable specific channels including ... 
B&W N805 vs Revel M20
I think you'll be sorry when you hear the Revels. I found them far superior to the B&Ws. 
Floating the Ground
I had that problem too and a ground loop breaker fixed that. Now the problem starts and stops when I plug in the REf. 30. Like I said, I think there is a problem with the unit and it is being replaced. My dealer also had a buzzing problem when he ... 
MIT Love 'em or Hate 'em
Nothing annoys me more than when I'm buying a product (of any kind) and a salesman won't at least acknowledge that there are other products or brands he or she doesn't carry that are also good. I wouldn't buy a BMW from a dealer who says Lexus is ... 
Thiel cs 2.3 or B&W N803,804?
I compared these two speakers before buying and found the Thiels to be the clear winner for me. I don't care much for the B&W sound although many must since they continue to sell well and receive good reviews.Be sure to look at the Revel F30s ... 
Why Put Up With "Wife Approval Factor"?
Amen Brother! 
Cincinnati, OH, any audiophiles?
As another fellow Audiophile from Cinci,I too have had experience with Lou and company at Audible Elegance. In all fairness, they have treated me well and have given me advice that I found useful. Don't look for any good deal though, everything is... 
Switched outputs on HTS3500 and B&K ref 30
I run this same connection from my Ref 30 to my HTS2500 and it works great. Good luck. 
Music to test with:
In addition to the common James Taylor-type recordings, these are some of my other favorite "demo" discs: City of Angels - SoundrackI am Sam - SoundtrackBen Folds - Rockin' the SuburbsThomas Dolby - Alien ate my BuickDire Straits - Brothers in Arm... 
Rotel 1066 and B&K ref.30 anf Anthem
I have a Ref 30 and have been very pleased with it. To me its best feature is that it senses signal presence and changes output accordingly. For example. I use my DVD/CD player for both movie (7-channel) and music (2-channel). It is connected by a... 
What would you upgrade next?
Thanks to everyone so far for your suggestions. Vader, I assume your Sunfire suggestion would be for the ATI as I can't imagine it bettering the McCormack.Bob, I realize that the Reference 30 is not the highest level pre/pro but it seems to get fa... 
Goertz MI2 and amp oscillation
Has anyone noticed ANY change in sound quality using the Zobel jumpers? It just seems like it must affect the sound to some degree. 
Goertz MI2 and amp oscillation
I have just ordered MI3 to try. I have a McCormack DNA-2DLX amp and Thiel 6s. Should I anticipate any problem with oscillation? Any thoughts as to if this is a good match?Thanks for feedback. 
Am I the only one who thinks B&W is mid-fi?
I wanted to like the N803 when I went speaker shopping. I still think it is one of the best looking speaker lines. But...I found the Thiel CS6s so much more detailed and accurate with command of the low-end, it was a no-brainer for me. I would not...
