Sand or Lead shot
Due to its toxicity, I wouldn't mess around with raw lead.I've heard about coated lead or maybe it was brass shot. In any case, no sonic benifit is worth the risk of dealing with raw lead. 
Coincident Tech's Partial Eclipse vsRevel's F-30??
Coincident speaks can be had for SET and non SET alike. Just tell dealer which kind you want. If you're not using SET amp, I'd go with Thiel 1.6 and powered subwoofer. The sound is tops and leads more easily into multi-channel. I've heard the part... 
Oxidation and bare silver or silver coated wire???

What is upsampling?

Lionel Hampton one of the Best of ever has died
The CBS "Sunday Morning" show did a nice piece about Mr. Hampton this morning. The world is less interesting due to his passage. 
Using subs as speaker stands ?
My friend has the configuration you're considering and it works really, really well. FYI, his bass/base modules have two 12" woofers per cabinet in an isobarik array. I'm not certain they are the "Taylo" model but they are definitely Tyler. 
Are you going to buy the Rolling Stones SACDs?
Jschrimpf: Your'e right, I opened the package and there was a "certificate of authenticity" (isn't this getting a little to fancy?). My main system is boxed up (PLEASE see my auction) so can't vouch for sonics but sure sounds like new disk has gai...

Are you going to buy the Rolling Stones SACDs?
I just bought (what I think) is a current reissue but nowhere on the packaging does it say "DSD", "SACD", etc.It's in one of those cardboard type containers (not plastic jewel box). Should I open it or is this some kind of record company scam?Anyo... 
How long of a wait
Be sure to send it more than once and check-and-recheck the sendee's email address. The internet isn't rocket science but is IS fallible...

Thanks for the tip Schubby! 
Stereophile "confirms" Moncrieff's SACD comments ?
Bose and a six-pak -that'll do it.While were at it, let's burn all the computers too... 
HELP Federal Express broke it and WON'T PAY
What is needed is a new laminated, vacuum sealed covering for packages. This covering, applied by the shipping office, would reveal abuse which occurs in transit. When the package arrives, you could visually inspect it and refuse if the covering i... 
What will become of my beloved CDs?
The way things are going, the music biz will soon cut off any media that is bit-accesible. You and I are sitting on virtual master tapes! And as upsampling, etc. becomes more refined (and it will) your collection will only become more valuable (an... 
Thiel 3.6 vs. Dunlavy SC-IV/A
Put a pair of the new Thiel 1.6's on top of a pair of Velodyne 15" subwoofers before you make a decision (as much as I love the Dunlavys...).
