onkyo 805 vs 806
Blindjim, yes, I use the Audyssey for the EQ, but usually set my volume levels with an SPL meter after I run the Audyssey. I have found that Audyssey gets the levels pretty close, but typically need a bit of tweaking, especially the sub. Otherwise... 
onkyo 805 vs 806
Actually, the 805 does have the Audyssey EQ. 
TRL 595 Discussion Died Years Ago
The fact that the talk died down shouldn't be considered good or bad, it's just the cyclical nature of things around here. From my observation, it seems that TRL generally enjoys a good rep in regard to their products and mods. But, they don't adv... 
ONKYO TX-NR905
Now I will have to buy 2 more surround speakers for a 7.1 setup so I can listen to DTS-ES. Rather than buy two more speaker, why not put that money into a blu-ray player so that you can listen to DTS-Master HD audio, which you can listen to in 5.1... 
onkyo 805 vs 806
http://www.onkyousa.com/model.cfm?m=TX-SR805&class=Receiver&p=sHere's the spec sheet for the 805. On the drop down list on the left, you can pull up the spec on the 806 for comparison. I have the 805, which is a prior model. One thing I im... 
there are 4 answers; refer to them by number
Answer #4 would apply to every question. 
Cary SLI-80 integrated or AES Sixpacs?
I think you would be minimally powered with either of those choices (as well as the amp you have now) based upon the specs of the Harbeth. I have used a Cary Sli-80 with speakers more efficient than yours and in a smaller room and do not believe y... 
Who gets your system and music after you are gone?
Boy, we're running out of stuff to talk about... 
Tyler Decade Ds 12 sub ?
Any particular reason you've narrowed your search to that sub? Don't get me wrong, I'm a fan of Tyler and I'm sure its a nice sub, but there are a number of proven 12" subs for less money, such as SVS, Martin Logan, Rythmik, etc. 
Music and politics
I could care less about an artists politics or religious beliefs, but I do care if that artist feels compelled to constantly remind me of their beliefs on stage or in their music. It's just a turn off for me. 
Blu-Spec CD's
I already have Kind of Blue on blu-spec. So, I'm not why you have to wait until August unless, as Jaybo indicates, they only produced a limited run. 
Audiophile grade country
A lot of Merle Haggards stuff is well recorded and he has always had a great band. 
I always do something stupid...
Note to self: Don't loan any gear to Dgaylin. 
Rolled some 12ax7's recently...
Has anyone tried the Mullard Reissue 12ax7 and/or the new production Sovtek LPS 12ax7? They get good reviews over at Audio Asylum and the LPS's especially seem to have the rep of being exceptionally quiet. I've ordered some of each to try out in a... 
Which female artist
I know I sound like a broken record whenever these "recommend someone that sounds like..." threads come up, but the obvious answer to this question is to join the Pandora music service. Just create a "station" for an artist you like and Pandora wi...
