New CJ preamp w/ remote that have old CJ sound?
Dopogue: thank you...Just reminding JeffJazz that if he buys a Premier 14 to have the seller scew those down for transit. My Premier did have problems as it took CJ 6 months and 3 trips back to the factory to fix my preamp, but even with new tubes... 
New CJ preamp w/ remote that have old CJ sound?
Downunder: I didn't have a problem with the clicks (even though it was like 3 times louder than my Placette Active), what I did have a problem with the Premier 14 was the fact that everytime you clicked the volume control the tubes would ring even... 
New CJ preamp w/ remote that have old CJ sound?
CJ Premier 14 is the last high end one with the original house sound and a remote (really noisy relays (mechanical not from the speakers) when adjusting volume 
Squeeze Box Love'n'hate
Regalmal: I also have problems with Slimserver and my squeezebox about from 2-1 years ago where flac would stutter either wired or wireless.... Slimserver and the firmware has really improved since than and been really stable for me over the last ...

Squeeze Box Love'n'hate
Sounds like your SB3 is wireless... fix your wireless network or go wired. There are settings to increase or decrease how much your system buffers (I prefer a longer first buffer to prevent drops...) Dump your 2.4ghz wireless phones and go 5.8ghz,... 
solution for a very bright room?
If you can't do a lot of treatments (at least put up some cornerbusters of a soffit system that incorporates treatments). Then make sure to setup a near field listening position. And look for a speaker like Wilson's where they are aimed directly a... 
ARC CA-50 vs. C.J. CAV50 any experience out there?
Get a ARC VSI55 which is way more transparent and a true giant killer with it's passive preamp.The CJ will be warm with sluggish bass, the ARC CA-50 will be little congested. The ARC VS55i will be amazing! 
Aimy Winehouse -- who knows her?
Siliab: thanks for confirming my thoughts.. my other friends laughed at that rating.. I had to buy the white stripes vinyl (oh yeah and both records were warped brand new ...retailers won't take them back either..) because the CD is so compressed ... 
Aimy Winehouse -- who knows her?
I can't believe that stereophile rated the sonics 4 out of 5... at best the CD is compressed to hell.. I love the music and her voice but the recording it bad!!!I'll have to wait for live cd or something and hope they didn't mess it up. 
childproofing rear speakers
Get yourself some of the largest Niles In-walls like I have and then you don't have cables or speakers in the room, plus the extra distance behind the couch adds to the steering dynamics of movies. 
I can't stop listening, the magic is back

What's your favorite audio codec?
FLAC but not for portable use... MP3 Lame converter for portable..What do you like better about the Rockbox versus the Ipod interface? 
VTL MB-450 with Maggies
I bought my Magnepan IIIa back in the day because I heard them on VTL300's. I think the extra power that the VTL provides over the ARC is the biggest benifit for you. Plus VTL's are easy on tubes compared to the ARC. Individually biased tubes on t...
