Good Sounding Speaker that Won't Attract Thieves?
Hooking up to a shotgun is too "iffy".Connect the string to your preamp's on-switch and have a P.J. Harvey CD ready in a player.That should drop the vermin dead in their tracks... 
Has anyone heard the new PS Audio Perfect Wave?
O.K., anyone heard the PS Audio with a Krell pure CAST system through Magico speakers?I think I'm getting buzzed... 
Static-like digital "pops" on CDs - can be what?
Right now I'm using the 5400ES with an HT receiver (using HDMI for two and multi-channel playback).It sounds good but can't touch what I got from a Rega Apollo with a BAT 300X-SE (through subbed Thiel 1.6).I won't say the Sony is deficient until I... 
Static-like digital "pops" on CDs - can be what?
Clicks and pops can be caused by a dirty disk (I remember attending a Sony introductory demonstration is San Diego when CDs first came out. A "click" clearly happened and the audience jumped all-over the MC who could not explain it).I have noticed...

Best Blu-ray/DVD player for under $800?
I'd warn you to listen to the player when it is playing a DTS HD-Master disk.My Pioneer Makes so much noise as to negate the higher quality sound.

SS Preamp Suggestions Please
I can vouch for the ARC LS-9.Can't understand why you want a SS pre.Tubes really pay off in the front end.A SS amp -now that makes sense... 
Audio Research VT100, MKii and MKiii
Nothing "wrong" with the MK-I. A very good amp.Owned the I & III. 
First Annual " Whaddya Get? for Xmas "
I got a new house with an isolated listening room.I was in a double-wide mobile home with inch thick walls.My hard-of-hearing Father (87 years young) would listen toBenny Hill DVDs on his TV while I was playing Mozart.Many gallons of fine vodka we... 
Guitarist for Janis Joplin's Big Brother band dies
Yes, he certainly rocked my (16 year old) world "back in the day".Listen to "Piece of my Heart" on the "Cheap Thrills" LP.Solid AxMan.RIP 
PS Audio Duet saves the day
Turns me off that you have to "send away" for a replacement part to restore functionality.I've been using an Adcom ACE515 for over 20 years and it's still going strong.I've heard the protection circuit trip many times (lightning, etc.) and it alwa... 
Speakers to pair with krell that rock
Consider larger Proacs.I had Response 3.5s (briefly) in my city rental dwelling.Gave them up, however, because they start to sing at louder volumes than I could manage.They really sounded great. 
Like Cain Ben's set up hollow sounding
I met Mr. Cain and listened to his single horn Bens at T.H.E. show in 'Vegas a few years ago. They were driven by 47 Labs integrated and CD player.The Bens indeed had a "hollow", woody sound which I found charming (listend to CSNY and other 60's r...
