| Do I really need a pre-amp? jpshinn: you are apparently unaware that the audiogon discussion forums may be searched via a fairly powerful search engine. your query is only slightly less rare than freckles on howdy doody knockoffs. remember the rules for crossing the tracks: ... | |

| What would you do differently? NOTHING, nothing at all. and, BTW, i've been happily married for 37 years and at this hobby for 35+ years. like swampwalker implies don't need to be single and/or lonely to label yourself an "audiophile." indeed, you'd probably be better off (and ... | |
| Preamps - Active, passive...??? PULEEZE. search on "passive" in the audiogon search engine. you'll come up with 498 threads. these repetitive, cumulative queries are getting REALLY annoying, at least to me. have our moderators disappeared? sure hope so. -cfb | |

| Best Speaker under 31 inches tall kennyt is right. sean & kirk, you guys are really impolite. so tony, let me make sure i've got your configuration down. you want a center channel only for the top of the fridge, which you apparently use as a very clever ht monitor? i'd just ge... | |
| Sealed, 1st apple /James Taylor, JT album ramstl: i'm a record collector and can empathize with your mixed emotions at opening a long-sealed lp. my practice is to keep a few rare lp's sealed but have a duplicate to play. thus, i have 2 copies (one of each sealed) of all the important mfsl... | |
| Who R U? jvia: sounds to me like you're gettin' an education no money can buy. i envy your priorities. welcome aboard & keep us posted about the nashville scene.- cfb | |
| Krell AVS future ? following on richard's excellent post: if darwin were able to observe krell's "upgrades," iterations or obsolescence-proof products instead of the finches of the galapagos, he might have written "origin of species" more easily and quickly than was... | |
| Single disc player vs.multiple gabe: there are NO multi-disc transports that can compete, sonically, with the better or best single-play units. 'course, as with everything, there are compromises that can be made, if you're more interested in "convenience" than the best-of-the-b... | |

| Quiex...what exactly is this method of vinyl pressing? *virgin* vinyl is translucent. mfsl and quiex lp's were pressed on virgin vinyl. hold a mfsl lp up to a strong light source. you can see through it. now try the same with a "typical" pressing. you can't see through it 'cause it's made of inferior,... | |
| Opinions on equipment+acoustics on large rooms unless they're all gonna' dance, you need to figure out how to plug in 100+ pairs of head phones. alternatively, you can issue everyone in the audiance an acoustic panel and have em' hold them up, arms outstretched, whilst standing around the opti... |
