Sony Lost
Elevick: Thanks for the update... 
The end of LP collecting????
God forbid the little guys (like me) who have spent themselves into ruin in this hobby should actually MAKE MONEY on something they've purchased! 
New Records noisy
"For example my new 4-sided 45 r.p.m. copy of Dave Brubeck's "Time Out" from Classic is noisy on side 1, then dead silent on sides 3-4."Sounds like a press operator forgot to slap on some mold release prior to pressing?A sticky record stamper woul... 
What cd-player should go with Proac 2.5, VT-100?
I used to run a Levinson 39 directly into my VT-100 Mk-I.It was a solid player but don't really remember much "magic" coming out of my Audio Artistry Dvoraks.Can't blame the 39 altogether as the AA's weren't the best match with the ARC (they reall... 
Watch out for your Paypal Account
I'd say it's time to start castrating these worms... 
WOW,, way to go Alice
'Cmon, Alice has always been a toung-in-cheek concept.At least he's not as hypocritical as the "golf course republicans" who own this country and pretend they give a damn about he little guy.Also saw the "Killer" tour show at the Chicago Amphithea... 
Meditative Music for Quiet Concentration
Mmmmm. Sounds like you need some "Elevations" by New Ager Don Harris. "The Dreams of Children" by Shadowfax is another that keeps the pulse going but stays out of the way. 
open headphones AND speakers = Wow
Tisk! Children may be viewing! 
Thoughts on Plasma, LCD, DLP and which way to go
I've been following these technologies and wouldn't spend big money (for me, 3-5K) on anything but 1080p DLP with HDMI input (on-board HD tuner and cable-card ready a definite plus). 
Maybe speakers of the dreams ?
Hello Marco!No, I haven't heard the VividAudio speakers (maybe at this year's Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas -my home town).I have heard the three dimensional soundscape, however.I've only heard it once through Dunleavy SC-IV Mk-II speaker... 
Solid state or tube what to do??
Having used ARC tubes since 1990 (CL-60, VT-100 Mk-I, VT100 Mk-III) and Almarro A205A SE integrated until recently, I find myself using the super-nice Parasound A23 (SS, 180 w/ch @ 4 ohms) to drive my Thiel 1.6's.The Parasound amp is so sweet I ha... 
Thiel 7.2 vs Wilson Sophia
Have heard both and the difference IMO a matter of scale.That is, the wonderful Wilson's will suffice in a smaller room whereas the mighty Thiels will thrive in Bill Gates's great room.Quality of sound won't be an issue with either (given proper c... 
The most emotional amp out there?
It may have been self-hypnosis, stress or whatever but the BEL 1001 Mk-V's (on loan) thru my old Audio Artistry Dvoraks is THE best sound ever heard in my home. 
What's your favorite lyric from a song?

The Chieftains - which CDs have the best sound?
Just listened to Chieftains "The Celtic Harp" the other day. Sound is very good.Also try "Invocation" by group Anuna.The Scottish folk group "Ossian" has produced half-a-dozen (or more) albums which I've been listening to almost 20 years with grea...
