carl: you have nothing to add to this thread, so why don't you go back to bed and watch gladiator again. or maybe listen to your cd-r's of napster mp3's on your tinny little maggies. 
CD Player w Volume control-Suggestions?
there have been multiple threads on this topic. please just search before posting. BTW, why is it, do you suppose, that you and numerous others on this site think "alot" is a word? 
Horrific Confession and Question
onhwy61: as is usually the case, your post is well-written, tho i find your reasoning and conclusion somewhat disturbing. first, the so-called "audiophile community" is not close to being as monolithic as you describe. witness this site. witness t... 
When is the Best Time to Sell Eqpt?

Sand bags under a cdp - didn't work well
Megasam: you do anything to disguise the tubes or just let 'em sit there like techno-industrial artifacts? i'm not putting you down here; i really am interested in this. BTW, my cd transport weighs roughly 47 lbs. is that too heavy for the tubes?

treed: your moniker sounds like you're a possum, hangin' by its prehensile tail and shiverin' all over while the hounds bark menacingly below. BTW, nothing you guessed about me or my upbringing is correct. it's you, sir, who lacks manners or any m... 
Feelings on Napster?

Horrific Confession and Question
i don't listen to background music, finding it irritating and disruptive of my concentration. i have had the experience, tho, of buying discs on the basis of what i hear on a record store's system. (FWIW, i try very hard not to buy anything from b...

Sdrconsultant: thank you for your polite and thoughtful followup. your experience does give one pause. 
Suggestion on IN WALL XLR interconnect
i'd not myself bury any interconnect in walls. if possible, you might think of installing fairly large plastic conduit in the wall so that replacements might be made in the future. for your application, i'd recommend cardas neutral reference. it r... 
A Useful Tool for Optimizing Your System
this looks to be a useful product. do you have the "standard" or "plus" model? i'm going to see whether they have a booth at ces. not seen it there before. if this works as well as advertised, i may recommend to my retailer/friend that he purchase... 
Best Zip Code for Perfect Life
Cwlondon@hotmail.com: don't wanna go off subject but must say i quite agree about london being the center of the social and cultural universe, at least for the nonce. also agree it's bloody awful expensive. interesting to hear your "italian food a...
