1 million dollar speaker made by Kharma
MC Hammer, your baby found me after she left you. It wasn't that you spent too much, it was that your speaker just wasn't big enough. I let her see mine (it IS the whole universe, afterall), and she went "oops, you did it again!" And I went, "awww... 
1 million dollar speaker made by Kharma
And then I told myself, "oh boy, me thinkum you need to buy a million dollars worth of waders, just so you can wade thru the above post!!!" If you don't believe I thought that, call Kreskin and ask him, he'll tell you................................. 
Electrocompaniet VS. Resolution Audio
Try a CD50, you ought to like it very much. I've not heard the Electrocompanient, nor have I heard the Pioneer/Bel Canto combo, or EVS Millenium DAC. I hope you find something that you can keep and enjoy for a long time, like I have been able to do. 
Best Bookshelf Speakers
You mean the search for a grand unified theory of Quantum Mechanics? I don't know if that's the central mystery, but if you're so interested in it, you might want to e-mail Stephen Hawking, or some other prominant theoretical physicist. I'm no exp... 
Do CD-R's sound the same as originals
In any case, I have direct experience with minor read errors WHICH DO INDEED pass through to the write process, when producing an audio CD-R, and that was at 1x speed both ways. Most everyone in the computer field reads and writes data CD-R's at l... 
Best Bookshelf Speakers
I was planning on audioreview.com, and perhaps here, besides possibly one or two other places. This is a favor I am doing at the manufacturer's request. In mentioning these above, I did not mean to presume that they are "the best bookshelf speaker... 
prevent hardening of speaker surrounds
Interesting...however, I don't see the spider as ever "hardening", I see it simply wearing out; i.e., the fabric strands develop tiny fissures that grow and become more numerous with time and wear through usage. In effect, they become "threadbare"...

I've not heard the Coincident. I'll check for the reviews, but it seems like you could find them just as quickly as I could. I'll not read any of them until I have written my review (however, I will read them before I post my review, so that I can...

Norwex B-2 Nisse's are great; I'm trying these out right now. I'm writing a review of them, and they've been reviewed several other places on the net. I feel their performance is likely impaired/wasted on a bookshelf, however...these sound magnifi... 
Genesis Digital Lense
Mar00, I've had the Hendrix remasters on MCA LP for nearly 3 years now, and enjoy them very much! They are a testament to what the LP medium can do IMO, and perhaps are much better than the CD remasters. That's only a guess (I don't have the remas... 
Male audiophile seeking Female audiophil
I concur with Tubegroover. And it's not absolutely essential to find a woman who is also an audiophile. Most male audiphiles have NOT been able to do this, and yet they are still happy and undeterred, most of the time. Even if there are two 'phile... 
'planar' vs. 'boxes'
I agree, it's a broad question, here's a broad answer: Read reviews, then listen and compare for yourself. Whatever you buy, it's likely that you won't keep it for the rest of your life, so don't put so much pressure on yourself. 
Do CD-R's sound the same as originals
My brother believes that the data is RE-SENT (when an unrecoverable error is detected) during the writing process for a data CD-R, and NOT done so during the writing of an audio CD-R. SORRY, but you surely misinterpreted what you think you might h... 
prevent hardening of speaker surrounds
As I state above, my feeling (and Dynaudio's) is that Armor All has no negative effect on a butyl rubber surround, or the glue that adheres it to the cone. I made no comment at all on its effect on a foam surround, and can only guess that it could... 
Do CD-R's sound the same as originals
And it should be pointed out that the original CD was stamped all at once, and NOT spinning at full speed and having the data burned by a laser into a photo emulsive substrate. So, when a CD-R is "burned", we are talking about it first being read ...
