| Cult Classics for Young Future Audiophile All great ideas and thank you very much, everyone. While it makes perfect sense to buy newer gear that sounds good and works well, I was hoping to indulge my audiophile ego and encourage the obsessive, purist enthusiast tendencies to see if he res... | |

Despite the claims that all the iPOd hardware and software "supports" WAV files, they lack the MP-3 codes which is what makes the... | |
| How much can low-fi subwoofer bring down a system? If you add muddy water to Evian, it might not look as clear or taste as good.For a more precise answer, it would be helpful to know more about your speakers and the rest of the components in question, as well as your listening preferences. | |

| Help Reform another Clueless Yuppie Yes, Thiels have been recommended as well. I understand they mount in wall with their own baffles which makes sense.I am now in NYC, for dealers who have asked. Any more "hide the speakers and wires and I only want one remote ideas" please? | |
| Help Reform another Clueless Yuppie If you saw this girl, you would definitely propose!Thanks for the suggestions so far -- Linn could be an excellent idea for the multi room amps and stuff with a simple, low cheeze whiz factor. Any ideas on the Gallos?I would still like to assemble... | |
| Aragon 8008bb or Palladium Not to confuse matters further, but I would be curious to know how both these amps compare to the cult classic 4004 MK II.I had some success with this amp using Apogee Stages and Martin Logans and wondered if the Palladium was even better.If so, I... |
