HD-DVD Officially Dead
Elizabeth: BlueRay was not the better format, video quality is almost identical 1080p is 1080p... there was no advantage other than Sony reaping the patent $$ from every blueray sale. SACD was only brought out by Sony because they lost the Patent ... 
Buzz/hum from Spectron Musician II amplifier.
If it's a transformer hum, you need to check your voltage. My voltage ramps up to 129volts and made my balanced conditioners transformer humm. It doesn't sound like a ground issue.. Also sometimes in shipping the transformer mount loosens up insid... 
Which sub - JL Audio Fathom or Velodyne DD?
Keep in mind the output of the F113 is similar to the D18. I would recommend two F113 which you can slave together, and they do come with room correction but not the pretty way via TV.Buy the JLAudio and you will not be disappointed.. I almost wou... 
Anyone send back Magnepan MMG's?
I loved my MMG's which I bought used and I owned SMGa's before and it took me about 3 months to loosen them up.... before they opened up or they sound congested... get a break in CD or some Techo and and crank it when you leave the house with the ... 
Tube amp for Magnepan 3.5 with autoformers.
You only need autoformers if your amps can't support a solid 4ohm load that Magnepans require. 
Macintosh vs Pass labs
No one has mentioned it; but what preamp do you have? You really need to try Pass X1 preamp or something at that level before changing your amp out.. I find the preamp can provide one of the largest flavoring or clarity controls.. If you haven't h... 
Review: Placette (no name as yet) balanced Interconnect
Thanks for the review, Guy is an amazing manufacture that really makes value available and provides unmatched service. I loved his passive preamp but I also even more so loved his Active preamp... (I loved that volume precision! and clearity) 
Wilson Audio fuse box
Wilson doesn't use Fuses because they degrade sound quality. The drivers are however protected and customizable with replaceable resisters in the head unit. If you remove the panel behind the head unit with allen wrenches you will find two binding... 
Whats the best record cleaning fluid?
Crem: Sounds like Buggtussel Vinyl-Zyme solution that attacks molds with an enzymes... hope it makes it to market and is cheaper! Anyone try SimplyGreen followed by some steaming? 
Paradigm Signature Servo vs JL-Audio F112
Bob: I would normally totally agree with you but I have owned two of the big velodyne at the same time with the JLaudio and my Wilson Watch dog... the differences in the same system were rather large over both the 15" and 18" velodyne as far as mo... 
Paradigm Signature Servo vs JL-Audio F112
Bob reynolds: Sorry but I disagree, if you can't feel the hit the JLAudio F113 produces you must be passed out... it's not subtle the difference...

Need some advice on the best two way Subwoofer
You need a tight fast subwoofer that will need to be able to be crossoved over at 40-60hz to get it to match well. Vandersteen subs with the sensing cables or Rel (a bit overpriced) maybe a JLAudio F112 might be fast enough (give it a listen). You... 
Paradigm Signature Servo vs JL-Audio F112
JL-Audio F112 .... No QUESTION it will blow you away!The size is so amazingly small for a sub my F113 was so even smaller than my Velodyne DD15 and it hit harder too.JL Audio knows subwoofers for movies..they re-invented the mobile subwoofer years...
