ACI Sapphire II: review
Thanks Carl! I can tell you this is the first component, that i bought, based solely on the reviews! And i am not intended to do it again! My wife just started talking to me couple of days ago! Moving the furniture, back and forth, borowing my fri... 
Need some help choosing speakers.......
I would also audition Linn Tukan! They were made for "close-to-the-wall" placement, and i think their "speed" and "detail" would compliment your Pass aleph. Also, they are smallest of the all minimonitors! 
Best Integrated amp 'around' $1000???
If you are to choose Linn Majik, you would get very "laid-back" but detailed sound. Majik is very musical too, if matched with right components. It is upgradable, so you can use it solely as an amp, with separate pre-amp. Or it can be used also, a... 
Feelings on Napster?
If the money is THE ONLY, motivating factor, than i don't want that music!! Musician, writer...or any other REAL artist will make music, write...CREATE, regardless of their reward! They are creating, not to make You feel good! But for themselves! ... 
Best MC Cartridge $300.00 or less
Carl is THE MOST interesting person, on the Audiogon! He is informative and "passionate", and that is what differ's him from the most Audio-entusiasts! I would say that he brings the heated disscusions to the already boring subject of audio! Let's... 
Perentage system $$ for speakers
Ohlala, there is not such a thing, as "...their own way". There is only "right" and "wrong" way! I am sorry, but you chose the second choice, which is wrong one. And that is what you should be "baffled" about...! 
Perentage system $$ for speakers
I would have to agree, more with the 15-30% than, with the posts above. I believe that pre-amp, if separate, should be the component, to build your system around. 
Any, good portable CD players?
I think it is a BAD investment! Those "things" are cheaply built, and overpriced! And i don't think, their sound is even acceptable! I've checked few (Panasonic, Sony, Aiwa...and Optimus! And believe or not, Radio Shack's Optimus, felt "right" and... 
Best system for ROMANCE
I would suggest Manley Stingray integrated amp, Soliloquy 5.0 and Denon dcd-1650ar. All, less than 4K! 
Triangle Speakers...Anybody got opinions
...un-beatable, uneatable? 
Triangle Speakers...Anybody got opinions
I "owned" Tiangle Zephyr II, for about two days! I purchased them from "dealer demo" section for $745+shipp. They came damaged (cosmeticaly and "smashed" bindig post, but was usable)! I was very disapointed that i had to return them! Especialy aft... 
Feelings on Napster?
C'mon people!! "Thou shell not steal..." is ANOTHER lie, you've being told! You've been "riped-off" by your employer, your dentist, plumber, garage mechanic, insurance agent, lawyer...ex wife or girlfriend, every day of your life!! And you are wor...
