High End Audio and Your hearing as you get older
If ones hearing depreciates as such, then one more reason to get the good stuff now. I do feel and experience listening better if not hearing as well as I get older. Another aspect of better gear is the simple joy of owning better gear in look and... 
Integrated Amplifier for ERA D4/D5 Speakers
Cambridge Audio and NAD some used and some new worth being on your radar. 
Anyone heard the new Daber Audio Monitor 3?
You beat me out on the auction for the speakers. Thanks for posting your impressions. The plannar tweeter peeked my interest in the speakers. For the price I was willing to take the chance on these unknown speakers. What other speakers have you co... 
Maggie 1.7's?
Ditto above, they are truly wonderful speakers. Must have an amp that is not faint of heart, and space to let them soar. A must audition speaker in my book. 
Small Preamplifier choices?
Ditto on the Parasound Zpre2, great sound, headphone output and video connection. 
Sony xdr-f1hd, Tuner, Impresive great value
HD radio is better. This Sony has outdone my Cambridge, Teac and older Sony units. HD vs. HD it a the equal to the HD tuner in my MA 6600 which lists for eight times the cost. Only downside is the lack of retention of stations if it loses ac power...

Audiophile Addiction
That addiction I'm am finding is true. to combat it, I try to insure time with the family, and keep myself out of the man-cave and off of the computer, as much. Having the music is a great retreat and needed, but family should come first. Your kid... 
Vacuum Tube Chess Set
For the audiophile who thought he had everything. That is really cool. Tube dampers would help to keep your fingers insulated from the heat I suppose.:]Fun find.

mcintosh ma 6600 vs rega osiris vs nad m2
Have not had chance to audition the NAD or Rega. Own the MA 6600 and simply love it. Good hunting, and post your final choice. 
HD Tuner Updates for 2010
Have the Sony component tuner, great sounding unit and price can't be beat. The one drawback is lost of power to the unit will cause all the preset stations to be removed. Minor pain having to reset all the stations again. Would like too know if t... 
Which cost more: your system or your car?
My car, but I wish it was the other way around. Over the years, had I known better I would have not brought so many cars but rather more serious hifi gear. And oh yes, better saved for the kids college education.
