Local audio dealer absolutely essential
I agree 100% that a good dealer is essential and am sorry for those who do not have that luxury. 
Who else wants to keep their system secret?
I post my system because a few guys here actually put it together for me because of my financial and health reasons and I am super proud of it too! 
Center channel to match Wilson Audio Sophia's?
I advised a Wilson owner on using a Genesis center with his Sophia, he wrote back how he was all smiles and said it blended great. If your surround is mainly for movies dont beleive you cant get a good result from a carefully considered non matchi... 
Best Cartridge for Less than $500
BTW my dad has the ACE and I think it is warm, mushy and pretty boring.......it sounds fine but never thrills, it is way too polite. 
Best Cartridge for Less than $500
I run a Audio Technica ATC OCC150 on my SOTA table with Rega 300 arm, and it sounds great BTW I like it better then my Dynavector 20L MC cart..........dont discount a few good MM carts over the sometimes blind loyalty to MC carts. 
Legacy focus 20 20 speakers
The quatro is surprisingly close to the 5A for alot less cash, and tho the Wood Quatro is closer to the 5A than the Quatro sock version it comes at a large premium price increase. My father auditioned the Sock version but bought the Wood and has d... 
audio research sells out good or bad ?
Well I hope they dont cheapen up quality and performance, guess its a good thing my dad bought his Ref3 last month. 
Legacy focus 20 20 speakers

Legacy Focus 20/20 is a good speaker, my dad owned them for 6 yrs and I spent alot of time with them aswell but as soon as he and I heard the Vandersteen Quatro the Legacy were up for sale. Vandersteen matches all drivers, has twice the bass as Le...

cable lifters, how to maximize benefit?
There is no obvious static issue, never get zapped, I only intend to try to rid the cable of any energy in it when I install them and looking for advice if my hunch was correct or not. I will just hook them up when complete and see what happens, t... 
cable lifters, how to maximize benefit?
I have no doubt of the benefit, too many I trust, including my Audio "Mentor" and others I trust (dealers and enthusiasts both use and champion the benefits), I simply want to know if my ideas are infact beneficial to maximize performance. 
cable lifters, how to maximize benefit?
Really? No opinions?........shocking. 
Better than my 32" Sony Wega XBR?
I have the 36 WEGA XBR and tho it doesnt come close in actual quality, my Hi Def LCD Projector cant be beat for the true movie experience. The Panasonic Plasma is close as I have seen to the XBR, maybe 85-90% of its quality. LCD is getting better ... 
Is that record dead yet?
If you dont have a cleaner you should ignore any other investment until you get a unit for deep cleaning and suction removal of dirt.
