New Stereophile recommended list
Way to air it all out Trelja. I am starting to look at steroephile as an advertising racket and nothing more. Ever noticed how little they say about anything they review? I have never seen so much writing say nothing. I wonder what the actual corr... 
Where will be hi-end audio in 2050?
Would somebody care to tell me what's wrong with Bose? I'm teasing, fpeel wins in my book too. You forgot to say how much they sue too. 
Stereo preamp for HT bypass
Abstract nailed that one shut. Nowhere else to go. 
Replace 35" TV with something bigger

HT Components-would appreciate thoughts
Snooker, you are my new hero. I wish I could do that right now. Please, please, please, say what you think once you feel you can. Either on the site, or to me off-thread. I'm gettin one like I said, but am into bein' teased until I do. I would for...

Sean, where to get the disks you mention? I want an Avia, but have never seen one for sale, though I've honestly never looked very hard either.Thanks,Chris 
Speaker cable termination
Bare wire might be the best mechanical connection, but the wire oxidizes over time as it is exposed to the elements. When the wire degrades, so does your sound. Therefore, you need a connector that provides the best mechanical connection, but at t...

Snooker, I don't have one-yet anyway. I AM going to get one ASAP. I spoke to one member who has one and said it was all what it is purported to be. It does not, and never will handle SACD, but the video is the best and the DACS are really great, p...

banksmcclintock, the Fujitsu 4222 is a plasma model. 
HT Components-would appreciate thoughts
So far so good looks like to me. Is the DVD/CD the only thing outstanding? What's the budget on the pieces MIA? Not an expert on the SP1 (or anything else either) but its agood one for sure. You already have it? Don't know if it has multi-region f... 
I need some help
Can you figure out a way to sound proof that thing once you cram it all in there? I can't see out of my mirrors when they are anywhere near me on the road. 
Replace 35" TV with something bigger
Too much talk about budget with all due respect. He didn't say anything about pinchin' pennies, just bigger than 35". Therefore, I suggest the new fujitsu 4222 HDTV flatscreen. Kinda pricey at $10k, but meets your requirements of bigger than 35" a... 
CD Players Getting Better?
Is this a money question or a CDP tech. question? Kind of hard to tell, but isn't it just easier to say this is how much I got, what should I get? I'll answer assuming your question is 'I have $1500 and am trying to stretch that amount as far as I... 
BEST AC CORD UNDER 1000?
Here we go, it's on, and I can hardly wait. I'll go pull the pin on the fire extinquisher and put on my flame-proof suit. 
Classe vs Meridian vs. Theta
Theta CasaBlanca II is the champ IMO. It handles both HT and 2ch. superbly. Its upgradability is limited only by the imagination of those setting the standards. Any new standard is handled with hardware/software mods available from Theta as necess...
