CES in Las Vegas worth the trip?
Last year was also my first show, and first trip to Vegas, and to say it was well worth it is a great understatement. Albert is correct ... it is more of a social event than a serious audition. Go and enjoy! 
A subwoofer for my NHT SuperZeros
I'd make two additional suggestions. For a sub, consider the Adire Rava. It uses the Shiva driver, and in its small sealed cabinet sounds wonderfully musical (crisp and articulate) but with impressive output, and will extend to 160 Hz. Those Zeros... 
Review: Denon DL-160 Cartridge
Hi guys,Just stumbled on this (looking for a Lehmann review, actually). I am happily occupying the entry-level area, with a P2/RB200/DL160 even running ProAcs (Studio 150)... this is scary ;-)Anyway, looking for an outboard phono stage, and while ... 
Electrician Coming Over What to Do?
Great and timely (for me) thread. While the discussion moved past it unnoticed, I just want to question Stehno's point no. 6 about experimenting with floating the grounds for sonic differences. I would not recomend lifting/floating/disconnecting g... 
Wiring Rogue 66 with receiver
Run from tape-out of Rogue into a Denon aux input, and set to direct mode. Or get 2-ch amp and connect to Rogue and your main L/R speakers, and run the Denon L/R preouts into the Rogue aux input. 
Recommendation for guitar duo CD
I'll second both of the late Chet Atkins' duets. Can't think of anything new off the top of my head, although some of Leo Kottke's 12-string work sounds like there must be four hands playing ;-) 
any audio buffs in SW VA?
Well, it is a bit of a drive, but there are several folks down here in the Raleigh area if you are interested. 
Opinion of budget phono preamps?
Hi guys,Wanted to thank you for your input, and let you know where I'm heading. Sorry to leave you hanging ... been mostly incommunicado for a while. I've decided to go the DIY standalone route. I'm going to look more closely at the Curcio, but wi... 
2 channel system?
I've no quarrel with starting with the source. I would caution against starting with amplifiers, at least until you have selected a style of speaker. Will you choose cones, planars, electrostatics ... monitors, full-range .... a subwoofer ...? The... 
500 to spend on int.amp,help me match with gear.
You might want to consider taking the pre-outs from the yamaha to an external amp. For 500 you could get a pretty nice 2-ch amp, then eventually add a similar quality preamp. If you are patient, you might find an Aragon 4004, McCormack DNA .5, Ant... 
Good web sites for buying vinyl "on-line" ?

Opinion of budget phono preamps?
Thanks for the replies, guys. Yes, I recall the 565 phono stage being complimented - know anything about the 555's? My gut feel was to shy away from the very low priced stand-alones like Rotel, NAD, Creek, etc, and you've confirmed that. The more ... 
Worth it to buy cheap, but no audition integrated
Linn Majik, Anthem, Jolida, SimAudio - all on this site right now around your price range. Also a Linn Classic you might consider. 
Looking for used cd or dvd player for my system
Steve,With the other equipment posted, I presume your budget would be substantial? And from the post title, it seems you are only interested in 2-ch performance? And are you interested in SACD or just redbook? 
Where does your user name come from?
I'm sorry, but you will have to figure that out for yourself ;-)
