Best system for opera lover at $30,000
I wholeheartedly agree with Fieldman. Whether or not "Snoopdog" is actually the Snoopdog of rap that we might have heard of, I must take issue with him. Regarding vinyl, read my arguments in the thread "CD-vs.-SACD-LP-vs.-DVD". Yes, I love vinyl, ... 
Best used Amp under $2000 for CD-50
You're welcome. 
U.P.S., have you had any problems with them?
Does Hello-HiFi control Audiogon? 
Cable Queries
I like MIT also, but it's all very system dependant. That said, the MIT Terminator 3 speaker cables Audio Advisor has for $65 can't be beat with a Louisville Slugger! I even think they are beating a pricier Kimber cable of mine, but haven't made t... 
Best system for opera lover at $30,000
I didn't realize this was life-philosophy corner. You guys need to calm down some. I...I've never been as much of a blowhard as I've seen on this thread, and that's saying a lot! Seems like all this isn't "about the music" anymore, it's just whate... 
DVD player with excellent CD quality
My Panasonic A-310 sounds pretty good. 
Maggie 1.6 or Hales Revelation 3
I love Maggies, but if you spend a goodly portion of time listening extremely quietly (so as to not wake others, etc.), then you might feel that the 1.6's don't "come alive" as well as the Hales. If you mostly listen closer to earsplitting levels,... 
MFSL Stones LP sonics?????
I can't afford anything like that, so I guess you're more of a die hard than me. I don't know how many LP's are in the set in question, but if these are like MFSL UHQR's, then the price is probably right. But as Loon says, how good could even the ... 
Best used Amp under $2000 for CD-50
I think it's because the dark side feels I know too much about their plans, and we all know what happens to people who know too much... 
The Best Audio Dealer
Did you not see my comments about him in another thread? Just as well, I'm not too proud of them. It was just my opinion, and he shouldn't take it very personally (I've not met him in person). More factory direct companies? Bel Canto, Perpetual, W... 
The best CD player with volume control
Whoever you are, JRT, you couldn't be more wrong about the CD50, me, or vinyl. This proves that you have no personal experience with either the CD50, or vinyl. There's nothing even remotely euphonic about either! You need to be more honest with yo... 
Vote for best US made solid state amp
Who are you, Harry Pearson's wetnurse? He's been wrong on several occasions, what of it? I still like him. Nobody's right all the time, and I admit when I'm wrong...do you? Nordost cabling is very dynamically laid back, and no better in any other ... 
The Best Audio Dealer
David99, as cool a guy as you are, I must differ with you here. Magneplanar sells their smallest speaker factory direct, and it's one of the best buys in audio. I don't think we should make blanket statements about manufacturers that sell factory ... 
Best system for opera lover at $30,000
Depends on if they just want to play at this, or have a dedicated listening room (i.e., the system isn't in service to the decor, but the other way around). I wouldn't blow that kind of money without a dedicated listening room, and nobody should. ... 
Best used Amp under $2000 for CD-50
That would be more of a compliment than an insult, wouldn't it? I'm not sure, don't feel like digging for the dusty box and owner's manual, so I'll try going to the RA site now...Oh well, guess you've already done that, since it's specs aren't the...
