Power problems
Yep, time to add some dedicated power. The sooner the better! 
Audio Research ls 16 vs. Audio research ls 16II
I find that upgrading at the factory is not as cost effective as buying the product in the used market. I've owned the LS16-MKII and it was sweet. I ran it into my Martin Logans via a VT100-MKIII Amp. No complaints with this pre-amp. Just keep in ... 
I'm so confused....
If you stick with the boombox you'll save a lot of money. If you jump into high end you'll here the music.Much like the ring of power, once you slip it on it's very hard to take off.Can you tell what movie I watched last night? 
I would like advice for a beginner.
You know I remember when I first got into this hobby a few years ago. My "dink" system was a Sony TAE-9000 pre, Sony DVD player, Adcom 5 channel amp,Infinity speakers and a Velodyne 100 watt sub-woofer. Everything was sale or demo items, I think I... 
The Shortest Time you kept a new piece for ??
Phillips SACD 1000 - Lasted about an hour in my system. It was brand new so I was able to dump it in about five minutes here at the gon. 
Should I be concerned about overpowering my spkrs
Just don't crank it up all the way and you'll be fine. 
Why do people selling on E Bay "USE" Audiogon?
I have to say that transactions here at Audiogon are a lot more professional and I like the people better (Easier to work with). At E-bay it's like being at a third world flea market. But if the product I want pops up there and the price is right ... 
15 pin RGB video connection
This has been an incredible thread and I just want to thank everyone who participated :^) 
15 pin RGB video connection
Watched Gangs of New york last night. Unbelievable picture quality. I think I may have to tweak the Plasma a bit more to get it perfect but it's definetly sweet! 
15 pin RGB video connection
I made the connection with a VGA computer monitor cable. WOW! Now I can see what all the hoopla is about. The progressive scan feature on the Carmen-II has taken my H/T to a new level. The improvment in video detail is very noticable. I think Thet... 
Shipping company for speakers- any good or bad one
I had good luck with Bax on a big pair going clear across the country. 
Integrated for my Aerial 7B's ?
I'm using a Theta Casa-BlancaII with a 5 channel Dreadnaught to drive a pair of LR5's, CC3B and I just ordered the SR3's for the rear. I have one SW-12 now and should have my second one in another week or so. I'm expecting great things out of this... 
Suggestions for HT recieiver with Pre-outs.
If it were me I wouldn't trip on pre-outs. Why buy an Integrated piece if your going to by-pass the amp? Either be happy with a good integrated amp or bite the bullet and buy seperates.Let's face it we've all been there and most of us made the jum... 
What is everyone using for dedicated AC lines???
Thanks KT88, I'll paypal you $20.00 right away :^). I've been wanting to come over and here those new speakers by the way.Sean - The first 200amp main is just a breaker at the meter nothing else. 
What is everyone using for dedicated AC lines???
Wow this thread is taking off, here's my take.I just bought a "new" old house (with a view of course) :^)I currently have a 100-amp service. I'm going to change that to 200 amps real soon.Then I'm going to take out the existing sub panel (Approx 5...
