Monitor Shootout
S7horton - The best advice is - don't listen to anyone's advice. Listen to them all, and pick your favorite one. Support your local dealer - buy new! Buying new is way more fun anyway. When I make a long-term audio purchase, I don't want someone e... 
Runco Plasmas - How are they different?
Thanks for the replies!Absolutehd - I am certainly not surprised that all of the bigger electronics stores make poor choices with source, power, cables,etc. However, I am a very demo-focused person. In other words, if I can't go somewhere and see ...

Swamp - I read your post again and now see that mention of the K1K - I must have missed it... heh interestingSo You wouldn't recommend a relatively inexpensive low power amp? Maybe something like a Lamm ML2? Audio Note Ongaku?Ha! I think starting ... 
Can the Sennheiser HD650 do BIG SCALE classical???
Rob - Frankly I'm not that into Grados for comfort alone, they are just disqualified as I don't find them comfortable.I am looking into the K1Ks however. They look interesting. Given that I'd be willing to spend a grand or so on an amp for the sen...

Hi Pawlowski6132,Undoubtably, the VPI with the right cartridge, phono, and good records will sound much better than than the Cary. Of course you will need to do all the maintainence, and a vacuum record cleaner is a necessity. The CD vs vinyl deba...

Subwoofers
Mdomnick - I know you bought the ML Depth, and I hope you're happy with it of course. I didn't see this post until now, but still think I should relay my experience.While I'm sure the ML subs are good subs, I spent some time auditioning them and f...

Wilson Puppy 6 vs Wilson Puppy 7
You've apprently listened to both of them. Why don't you tell US which is the better speaker? I don't understand what the point of asking "which speaker is better?" among two speakers you've auditioned. All you will get is other peoples opinions, ...
