Relief? The New Digital Players
How are you going to find "THE best" analog (vinyl) front end? If you do, will it be set up to get the most out of it, at a dealer's place? These might be questions without answers... 
Best "Hungarian Rhapsody" on vinyl?
Ok, and I think this one is the only one that I don't already have from Classic!!! 
Best "Hungarian Rhapsody" on vinyl?
Yes, #2. Thanks, I should probably look for an original Stokowski "Rhapsodies", then. 
Analysis Plus or Harmonic Teck
And yes, those HT cables that I did not like, were indeed broken in for around 1000 hours (I had them for over 3 months, and they had perhaps 500 hours on them before I got them). Their character changed very little over break-in, and that has alw... 
Analysis Plus or Harmonic Teck
I should clarify that I've tried three HT cables, and the Pro 9 speaker has been the only one I've liked. I felt the Pro Silway 2 RCA interconnect had a huge hole in the upper midrange, the bass was loud but sluggish, and the treble was smooth but... 
Analysis Plus or Harmonic Teck
Regarding speaker cables only: I've compared the Oval 9, with Harmonic Technology Pro-9, and I find the opposite to be true. It is the HT that has more air, and more bass, and the Oval 9 was very fuzzy and soft, and closed in. It did have unusual ... 
Resolution Audio CD-55..Past Threads...
Frankly, I'm tired of this whole thing. I think that if people like their products, then they should buy them. If they don't, then they should be avoided. One thing I will not stand for, are those individuals on here who are just looking to argue ... 
Best very small Speakers (at any price)?
I'm trying Norwex Nisse speakers, and they are very nice. I am writing a review of them, and will post it several places on the internet. There are also several other reviews of this speaker on the internet. 
Integrated for Maggie MMG's
Osclib, you were a big help in convincing me to try a bottlehead amp kit. I'm sorry I can't help you much, here. All I can say is that my Rogue 88 power amp with my MMG's, will make you cry. I wish you could hear it. 
Anti-skating question
Well stated, Kevin and Albert. 
Feelings on Napster?
To understand where the lines are drawn, one need only watch how the judge rules. 
Who R U?
I'm 31, single, never married, no kids, live in the southeast USA, and work in a photography business. I am not affluent in the least, the way most of you are. I hope to be. I got a bachelor's degree in Graphic Design, but really should have done ... 
Why Is Krell Not Considered Hifi?
Nope, you have it all wrong. It definitely doesn't sound "very hi-fi", and does indeed sound like real music. It has the lifelike feeling of macro-dynamics that tube amps of similar price (to my particular Krell) do not have (my tube amp is better... 
Why Is Krell Not Considered Hifi?
I consider any functioning Krell power amplifier to be very faithful to music reproduction. Tube amps can be very nice too (I own one, and am buying another). Perhaps you just haven't heard a Krell component set up properly. I wouldn't go by what ... 
Feelings on Napster?
I like using Napster very much, and many of the files sound very good from CD-R's thru my CD player in my main system (I suspect that one or two would pass "blind tests" against the original CD...most would not, of course). I don't feel it's steal...
