i want a dull, caramel colored cd player any ideas
I mentioned the problem may be elsewhere in your system, so let me elaborate on that, especially since you think the BAT may not be the final solution. I would first recommend that you replace your receptacle with an unplated unit like the Porter ... 
Seeking hot running amps
The hottest amp I've had was a Pass Aleph 5. You could not keep your hand on it very long type of hot. 
i want a dull, caramel colored cd player any ideas
Well, you mention the Cal Tempest in your other post, so why not use something you've already recommended?I suspect the problem is elsewhere, not at your CDP. 
When is the best time to buy equipment??
I did a one person survey, that person being me. I was just curious and this is what I came up with:Feb was by far the busiest month (30) while June was the least active (3). Jan and Oct were tied for next busiest w/14 ea. while April and July wer... 
Terminating Power cord.
I agree with Viridian and Jea48 about connecting the shield to the wall end (male) plug only but with this caveat: Only if the shield is braided so that you can comb it out and twist together in a tight wire. If the shield is a foil type wrap, jus... 
Looking for a Little Help...
You’re looking for speaker cable, yes?Don't be concerned about wattage in regards to speaker cable.What I would do is look through the ads and pick out a price you're comfortable with & then research it. Lots of info available in the archives ... 
Boring but still needed: which VHS VCR?
I have a Samsung VR8807 purchased in 1998 that still gets used a few times a week but it saw over 1k hrs during its first 5 yrs, as I only bought a DVD 3 yrs ago.Most of the hrs were put on by my kids. 
Dual duty and LOUD
Years ago I owned the older style Kappa 8's & was running them with the Adcom mono-blocks with a Cary preamp. Yes, they could rock out big time & I wound up with VR4 GenIII's powered with an Ayre V-1xe using an Atma-sphere preamp. Good qua... 
Audio Debt?
If it was part of my budget, then I would consider it, although I'd have to get a job first so I could pay the bill. 
Speaker recommendations in the $3,500-$4,000 range
In your price range, a used pair of VR4's that are upgraded at the factory (VR4 to Mod5) will be a tough act to beat. Even though the following list has some spkrs out of your price range, I want to mention them as a point of reference as some of ... 
Ayre V-5xe best tube pre-amp to match with?
I used an Atma-sphere MP3 with V-1xe & it was a very good combination. 
What should be the terms between buyer and seller
First you need to search the archives to get a few ideas on this. On the home page, go to "Discussion Forums", and then type in a target word in the blank space below "Search archives".Words like shipping, seller, buyer & transaction come to m... 
High end amp - my last step
I would like to suggest the new Ayre mono-blocks. Size will not be a problem.I only heard these at the CES but I have owned Ayre amps for the last 4 1/2 yrs. When you buy an Ayre product you also get fantastic product support.  
Do they make Speakers For Rap/Rock
Hmm, I was making a delivery at the back of Cherry Point MCAS and they were conducting jet engine tests with the engine off the jet & on a stand. That was the loudest damn thing I ever heard & I had 29 dB earplugs in.My system could play j... 
Best Amp Martin Logan Summit
Those are some finicky speakers. You are really going to have to audition to get the best fit. I had a listen to these at a friends house with $9k and $10k amps (and less expensive units) & they are difficult to get right.
