Caps on a Powered Sub
Orpheus,Thanks for trying to help but I have to tell you I am very technically challenged on parts and where they go. Are you saying add them to the existing crossover in the powered sub (below) and then attach a cap to the speaker wire on the boo... 
Caps on a Powered Sub

Are there any albums you consider perfect?
Here's another, the Tchaikovsky 5th on the Everest re-issue with Sargent conducting. Not only does the performance sound great but so does the LP. In fact most of the the Everest series is worth getting as well.Other standouts from the series:Sarg... 
Starting Over
If you want a really good 1 box solution around that price you can't beat the new Bel Canto e.One C5i DAC Intefrated Amp. This thing is amazing if you are starting out or want a 1 box solution. 2 spdif and 2 toslink inputs at 24/192, usb input @ 2...

Delbert McClinton Live comes pretty darn close for me. 
What's your favorite lyric from a song?
For me it has to be the line from "I Wish I Were In Love Again" by Rodgers and Hart.When love conceals it soon reveals,The faint aroma of performing seals,The double-crossing of a pair of heels,I wish I were in love again.Whenever I hear the doubl... 
Your ONE all time favorite love song?
After 33 years of marriage it still hasn't changed. The simple but heartfelt lyrics and the equally simple melody of Jim Croce's "Time in a Bottle" is a beautiful ode.OK, I HAVE to add one more for obvious reasons. "The Way You Look Tonight" is si... 
McIntosh MC240 w/ Emotiva XP3 - Recommended
One thing that has not been discussed is that you cannot directly compare dollar for dollar retail prices with factory direct. Equipment comes from a factory, then goes to a distributor and maybe even a wholesaler and then to a retailer, who then ...

Great MONO recordings
Well, my favorite mono opera LP has to be the 1935 performance of the 1st act of Die Walkure on Angel's Great Recording series. How's this for voices: Lotte Lehmann, Emanuel List, Lauritz Melchior, Alfred Jerger, Ella Flesch Conductor: Bruno Walte... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
I am coming upon this thread late, but the simplest answer is so you don't need an additional SUT and extra set of cables with all their variables. 
New favorite VINYL Album?
Sorry but Somethin' Else with Adderly, Miles & Co. is my new favorite and simply one of the greatest jazz albums of all time!! The stars lined up and this is definitely one of the LP's in the heavenly record rack if you catch my drift. 
Direct Drive turntables
Well I have to put in my 2 cents for my DD table. A Kenwood KD-600, with an SME III tonearm and a VDH MM1 cartridge. Still going strong after some 20 years. I did replace the cartridge (had an Adcom MM) but nothing else. Sounds great with my older... 
Converting DVI to HDMI is it worth doing or just b
This is related to the above post and please forgive me if it sounds stupid. I have a pre/pro with DVI. It also came with an accessory box for DVI to HDMI. Now if my TV is not an HD model, then the box is irrelevant, I assume, and I should just us...
