installing subwoofer to 2 channel system
For a two channel music system you don't need a home theater pre/pro at all.You could use a three a channel amp, but that isn't the way I would approach it. Most three channel amps are designed for three of the channels of a home theater system an... 
Mini Mac as audio server?
That's what the one terabyte Firewire drive is for! 
BAT preamp owners
Actually, of all the tube preamps I've tried the VK3i best delivered the attributes you're seeking. I was just searching for a preamp that created music with more hips. A belly dancer, as opposed to an aerobics instructor.

I used to own a VK3i as well. I agree with Jbello in that it sounded less tubey than other tube preamps I've owned. I think some of that can be attributed to the 6922 tubes. This is neither good nor bad, it just depends on what sonic character you...

About Lugnut -- Patrick Malone
Pat was solicited while still in his hospital bed after major surgery?! That's pretty slimey.I'm sure what pissed off Pat the most was that that Boise dealership's car didn't even have a Whipple Supercharger application for it.

I had to cancel my reservations Wednesday because work was too heavy. I'm hoping to hear some reports of the shows. 
An unusual problem that merits an unusual solution
This is interesting.I have a 6 1/2 year Marantz AV-550 that started exhibiting similar behavior, but in the LFE channel. When I change surround modes or mute the output, I get a pop in the LFE.I thought it might be the subwoofer amp, but the same ...
