Best outdoor antenna???
I was going to buy an APS-13 but ended up buying an MD-10FM antenna. The initial reason I did this was size and turning radius limitations on my roof. The MD-10FM is 142" and would be the biggest Yagi I could fit on my roof with the rotator. Howev...

Tuner Information Center...gospel?
I stand corrected Doug, you have always been one of the few willing to give advice without hesitation and I do appreciate it. Yes, I did wonder whether the reason I got so little response was unfamiliarity with the Rotel - but heck, these guys see... 
Tuner Information Center...gospel?
Although I hate to have to do so, I agree with Whatjd. I too noticed this overwhelming "vintage" bias to the point where you are ridiculed if you do not share that opinion. I am not saying that many of the older tuners did not have superior parts ... 
Anyone tried the new Kharma amps?
I have heard these only under show conditions on the Midi-Exquisites but, even then, they were quite good. Big sound from a very diminutive amp. These amps are VERY heavy for their size as well. They are NOT digital amps, are not "ice" amps and do... 
IC´s:Stealth Indra, Prana Cosmos or Kubala

Brian, I'm sorry, but putting a condom on that gorgeous work of art and engineering you have would be sacrilege. Kinda like seeing the Pope in a speedo! How goes it in Chicagoland? If you guys put together that Chicago audio fest you have been dis...

Gunbei, that was a riot! I never could figure out why SME can engineer with such amazing tolerances but can't afford to pay someone to at least make it look "reasonably" good! Oh well, it makes good music so I should shut my big trap and be gratef...

I think mine is the ugliest!!! Does that count? Maybe knida like a Pug - so ugly it's cute?I have an SME30. Looks like crap, sounds like a dream. 
Any New Music capture your fancy ?
Funny you should ask as I was thinking of asking the same question. Since I am in this hobby for the music, I am always ecstatic to find new music I like especially since it seems to happen less and less these days.The other day my buddy Kevin Tel... 
headphone help
AZjake,As always you will get many good suggestions limited only by our vast differences in personal tastes. That said, I have owned and reviewed many headphone/amp combos and the one I have KEPT (in fact I have TWO of this system- don't ask, I am...
