$250-$400 CD player recommendations?
I highly recommend the Phillips 963SA ($424 delivered) for CD playback. The 192 oversampling is switchable and really sounds great. Some here have said it lacks a little low end definition but if you want that I would get an original Planet ($350 ...

The fuse one had me laughing for weeks. 
Equipment found at the dump
My father and brother-in-law brought me 14 milk crates of great mint albums when the towns they did business in had "dump day" in 1995. Just like the equipment that grows in my garage though, I've only played about a crate. They said about ten hou... 
The Sound of Tubes Going Bad?
I have to say this. In the future, Do Not Turn Off Your Equipment. EVER. Everything lasts soooooo much longer. The components and it's internal parts (as in resistors, capacitors, ... and yes, even Tubes) all last forever if you don't have the con...

Tweeter height - how to compensate?
Sean and Kck - I can't believe sound "drops down". Why would it be effected by gravity? (Did I spell that the right way)? I'll have to verify this when I get home. 
The finest technically recorded album. LP or CD

What componant degrades the signal least/most?
Your speakers will always cause the most loss of clarity. It's unavoidable. They interact with everything in the room.Your amplifier will always cause the least loss of clarity. Unless you have a really bad amp.

Maxwell Smart and Miles Davis?
Miles always had a strange sense of humour. 
I just puked

Fleetwood Mac - Say You Will- Your Thoughts?
Weiserb, I also "missed" Tusk because I hated them in high school. Ten years later, loved them as an audio nut. I still think Lindsey's one of the top five guitarist's ever. And I do wish Christine had participated. Even though, this album is a 9/...
