No Adagio Jr. for sale?
More likely it's an indication that a lot more Adagios were sold than Jr's. 
How does one get off the merry-go-round?
Great post, Sailcappy. Thanks for sharing your cautionary tale and baring your soul. I can certainly relate to just about everything in your story.One part that really caught my attention was Lyric's refusal to bring in amp from other rooms in the... 
Audience Versus Running Springs Power Conditioners
Anyone heard one of the new Shunyata units, the Triton, Talos or Cyclops? 
How to get the impact of a live concert?
Live jazz in a good club can give you the impact Ecruz is talking about. Here in the Bay Area, the two Yoshi's clubs are fine-sounding rooms with excellent Meyer Sound systems. But even unamplified, the impact of a cymbal crash -- you can feel it ... 
Most "Musical" sounding speaker cable under $1000
...by none other than the founders of MacIntosh (that's right)... An old-school, engineering-driven company. Not sure that makes them an authority on the cable question. 
Where do you go after a Dynaudio C1 ?
Sounds like you found out why they called it Vapor Audio. Cheeky name! 
Most "Musical" sounding speaker cable under $1000
I would go with Acoustic Zen Satori. I find it to be unfailingly musical and a steal at its price. Plus, it should work well with your speakers. 
The finest Cable Elevators you ever auditioned?

What are you all talking about? 
Tivo Dumb.
Why would you get a TiVo if you don't want a DVR?Nevertheless, I don't believe you need a subscription to get all your channels -- that's a function of your cable provider. 
Tivo Dumb.
I don't really understand the comments above, but here's the deal: You should have to pay only a very modest monthly fee (on the order of $1 - $2) for the cable card from your cable provider. That card, which goes in the TiVo box, will allow you g... 
The best speaker you ever heard?
Somersetboy -- very enjoyable description. And interesting because the VXP 15Q is design and presumably sold for sound reinforcement applications. 
What is a high end stereo SUPPOSED to sound like?
Should it sound like live music? If so, then your initial impression of a system would count for a lot, I would think. When you attend an audio show and go into a room for the first time, does it sound like something approximating the real thing o... 
Think your speakers are positioned correctly?
Those of you with the patience and apparent discipline to spend months on this task, let me axe you this: What's your process? What kind of a change do you make, how long do you listen to it, what do you do next, etc.etc. I'm sure you know what I'...
