What is the definition of SACD -noobQ-
I agree with Jond.What you can do when you get a new dvd player is find one that plays multiple formats. Sonys tend to play sacd, but not dvd-audio, while denon's and pioneer elites usually will play both formats. Also make sure the player will ha... 
Need help in picking a good preamp/processor
Anthem avm-2 or 20 depending on budget. Will sound better, have better displays and be more flexible than the act 3 (in my opinion). 
Help: How to connect my stuff?
1-You really should strive to have the same amplification to all 3 front speakers (just like having matching fronts) to get2-Having dual volume controls involved is a pain. The volumes will never match, period.3-Don't underestimate the toshiba. If...

Great advice. Thanks Viridian and Stefan1.FYI Sota Jewel table, Jelco arm, Goldring Cart. 
Speaker hook up question.
Hmmm, I was always told to go lower to avoid damaging the amp? I never use the taps whose impedance is higher than my speakers.

Since this thread is started: Is there any harm in tracking at a lower weight (1 gram)? Thanks. 
Consolidation of systems - need advice
I tried it and wasn't happy. The center channel, right and left truly need to be balanced with the same amps and speakers to have a good soundstage. If you are trying to downsize, I would assume that you want a 5 channel amp. The proceed and jolid... 
McIntosh 1900 with Klipschorns? ASAP if Possible
K Horns are amazing speakers if you have enough room. Figure that if they can fill a small concert hall, then a 12 x 15 room is wayyy too small. I can't imaging using them in a room less than 20 x 30 or more. I agree with Bigjoe that the mac just ... 
speaker with high WAF
My wife actually was amazed with my Soliloquy's finish. She said it looked at good as our piano (little steinway if you're curious). 
Jolida JD100 on the way
Personally, I'm not into 5751's. I like telefunken and mullard 12ax7's better. For new tubes, find some golden dragons(great value). Anything will be better than the stock tubes in there now! I don't know why, but Jolida likes to start with the ch... 
pls recommend some "entry level" tube amp options?
Don't consider anything with less than 40wpc in my opinion. Your speakers are not very efficient and will sound aweful on a low power amp (stay away from 2A3, 6BQ5, 7189, 300B and more). Most entry level/lower priced amps don't have much power is ... 
Trying to decide b/t 5 used speakers w/ Rotel Amp
How loud do you like it? The Thiels are power hogs while the monitors are much easier to drive? 
Fisher Tube Amp Center Channel question
Looks like you have a 3 channel amp/receiver. I've seen them on other brands. You probably have 6 output tubes also. I would still probably use the r/l channels into a powered sub with a nice crossover. It won't hurt anything to try the center rca... 
Fisher Tube Amp Center Channel question
If my memory serves me correctly, this center channel is not a line level out and was designed for a center channel for a big console(these are screw terminals and not RCA's, correct?). You would be better off using the right and left out to the s... 
Modwright Mods Sony or Denon
There's not many DVD/A discs out there anyway. My Denon seems to "choke" on some of the titles. Surprisingly, if you do want dvd/a's, I found that Mediaplay has the best selection and prices-wow was I surprised.By the way, does he mod the denon 22...
