Audio Research CA-50 seek user experience
I have a Ca-50 that I keep as a "back-up" when I upgraded to a LS 16 & vt 100. I think it holds up very well sonically to the seperates combo. Only lacks finesse at frequency extremes, low bass not as authorative & highs not as spacious or... 
The "look" of DLP vs. LCD
Might look at projectorcentral.com for views on this issue. I prefer DLP, but sounds like LCD is making some progress to get back in the race. I also think LCD's image quality fades over several years use (at least with the business data projector... 
PS Audio's new "Gain Cell" Amplifiers . . .
Sounds like the "analog module" of 1970's Audio Research fame. More "perfect" amplification? Seems like many of the module type circuits had an opamp inside they didn't want you to see. 
PC for R.A.B.O.S powered subs for better bass

Nora Jones new CD -- Copy Protection -- YIKES
I couldn't make a copy on my work machine (MS XP), but it went o.k. at home using win98 ???? 
I Just Don't Get Video
There a number of DLP projectors(4:3,XGA) in the $2k to 4k (street price) that incorporate "some" faroudja processing (if not present in the dvd player) & will get you "80%" of the way towards the "best", another $1 to 2k for a screen & so... 
Any subs that calibrate for the room?
Infinity intermezzo 1.2 has one band of eq to tame the rooms most offensive peak. Possibly discontinued & seeing for around half price @ 1k or less these days 
I cannot switch off a Jadis Defy 7. Help
The power switch may be activating a "relay" which is then the actual power controller ??? My arc vt100 had the same issue & I cleaned the contacts on the relay (not sealed)& amp went back to behaving normally when power switch used. Clean... 
Infinity Prelude MTS
I have the same speakers w ARC cdt-1/dac3/ls16/vt100 electronics & pleased with the results. once you've seen the wire inside the speaker & x-over design I doubt you'll be picky with speaker cables. I agree on fiddling with placement &... 
How to stop upgrading and aviod going bankrupt????
Stop reading hi-end magazines & e-zines. They are like pouring gasoline on a fire for us addicts...Oh, & I must stop checking "new today" on audiogon. 
Ground loop isolator question ?
I've had some hum issues in my audio/video system that was related to a ground loop between electrical ground & the cable TV ground. Anytime I disconnected the cable TV the hum went away. Used a jensen inline transformer on the cable & it ... 
Any Infinity Intermezzo 4.1T Owners ?
I like the preludes (had the prelude composition previously)very neutral,smooth & efficient. Using with ARC tube equip. 
Any Infinity Intermezzo 4.1T Owners ?
I have the prelude MTS & would expect the 4.1 to perform similarly. Only difference appears to be the use of a single 6 1/2" driver for the 85-300 range rather than 4 4 1/2" drivers for similar range in the prelude. Cabinet in 4.1 is cast alum... 
Auditioned Infinity MTS. Disappointed. Questions..
I'm using the MTS with an arc vt100mk1 & am far from "disappointed" Spearit sound has "refurbs" if the $$$ are too high @ retail
