Vinyl Reason
Zaikesman,I only have 200 or so records. Many of these are also on CD. Hi-Rez or not,I made up my own mind about what I prefer.Vinly is a superior format to my ears. 
Vinyl Reason
CD'S are good for working out or cleaning house. LP's just hold my attention for a much longer period of time. I can play records for hours. I was never able to do that with CD's. When I got out of the Navy everyone had gone digital and I went alo...

Nick T is right on. 
VPI Scout ... move to Scoutmaster or even further
You need a new phono-pre. I would start there. Get your feet wet with some kind of tube phono pre.Tim 
EAD prepro: how's the analog passthru?
I have the 8800 non-pro and think it sounds very good. The only way to tell for sure is to play music. I think you will be happy.Tim 
Sunfire, Paradigm or Velodyne
Get one of the DD series subs from Velodyne. Everything else is outdated. You need to spend a little more money,but it sure is worth it.Tim 
best sub?
Velodyne Digital Drive Series Subwoofers. 
Why do intelligent people deny audio differences?
Great post! I love it. Does your brother have anything to say about speaker breakin? Book smarts mean nothing. My IQ is over 130. So what! Sometimes it takes 20 or 30 minutes of loud music to what the amp. is really doing. Maybe he is tone deaf.Tim 
do I have to match the db level on all speakers?
You need to balance the speakers. This is a must. The speaker distance to center listening position is also very important. If the reciever is not setup correctly,you have wasted to money you spent on it.Tim 
Tick on 30th anniversary Dark Side
My copy had quite a few pops and when I bought it. I then started using Paul Frumkins LP cleaning fluid. Just one more reason why I use Paul's formula. LP now sounds great.Tim 
Best HT subwoofer betwwen $2k-3k?
The Velodyne can not be beat. 
EAD lovers: tell me about the $10K TM Sig Classic
When did EAD go out of business? I just talked with Alastair Roxburgh a couple weeks ago. 
A somewhat unusual request for PrePro help
I have the Theatermaster8800(non-pro)and use the analog pass through for my VPI scout. The 2- channel performance of the 8800 is very good and the surround sound is about the best.Tim 
Best subwoofer for Quad 988?
DD-15 Will work with any speaker. 
Add another sub or go with F30's?
Sell the REL and buy the Velodyne DD-15 or DD-18. The on board digital room correction system will take away all the boominess. The new DD series subs from Velodyne are going to change the way all subs are made.
