?'s about quality of audiophile recordings
I don't know what to tell you...I did an A/B/C on my old system of the Rolling Stones "Sympathy for the Devil"...this was done with a neighbor that I borrowed the original disc (Hot Rocks I think). He is definitely NOT an audiophile and thinks wha... 
Helping a friend put together a sub-$1000 system
the vandersteen 1b/c's have a pretty small footprint, so I don't think that would be a real issue if they are going on the floor...if they are, don't forget...if you buy monitors you will also need stands...and then not only that, but most stands ...

Turning Stereo into Alarm Clock?
Nakamichi used to make an INCREDIBLE sounding alarm clock...I saw it years ago...but I'll bet they still have something. I think the alarm clock w/ cd option w/ long ic's to the main rig sounds like a winner to me.Ellery

Turning Stereo into Alarm Clock?
Man...that would be awesome...if you wnted to wake up gently you could have some windham hill set to play...and on the days when you absolutely had to get out of bed on time...then Pink Floyd's 'Time' on DSOTM would rattle your cage.

replace u jumper plugs
a more cost effective way is to order the tara labs missing link...it costs about 30-40 bucks...very fragile, but once it's on, you never take it off anyways. I did this with my bryston integrated and there was a difference...can't remember where ... 
Whats the krell sound?
I have only heard the krell 300il integrated and to be honest...I have to agree with the "bright" statements...however, I understand that the sonic difference between the integrateds and Krells "real" amps is night and day...as is the price.just m... 
A little assistance please on a SS Integrated Amp
I just received my Electrocompaniet ECI3 yesterday (bought ued so it is already broken in. It replaced a Bryston B-60 that I gave to my dad and although I have to admit that there are things that I like better about the ECI3 than the Bryston (warm...
