Burn In = Voodoo?
J_k, I had to answer my own question. Absolute Zero is the temperature at wich all molecular translational movement in a gas ceases. Now Helium has the lowest critical temparature -268 Degrees celsius, a point where a substance cannot exist in a l... 
Burn In = Voodoo?
J k thank-you for your insite and understanding of wire. The explanation you gave is the same one I've heard too, and it does indeed make sense to me. Trelja, thank-you for your comments on absolute zero. I tend to not need alot of the physics and... 
Where do you guys buy replacement tubes?
Kevin, what do you mean "the amp blows up"? I'm wondering if that isn't what happened to my sons amp. What would I look for? Thanks, J.D. 
Access/Use Restrictions-Listening Room
No restrictions, but our Music room is for music. It is a seperate room with french doors to close it off from the rest of the house. I listen, no talking of noise allowed! My 18 year old does his homework with the stereo on (if I'm not listening)... 
Burn In = Voodoo?
Great question. I hope someone has "the" answer, although I would bet most will be the same fuzzy science that seems to belong in the Audio field. I can see how anything moving, like speaker cones and phono cartrages might change over time, but th... 
How do you ship heavy oversized speakers
I sent my old Dunlavy speakers via a private freight company. Dunlavy sent all the packing to me along with a pallet to stap it to. My new Dunlavy speakers arrived the same way. 
Bedini II.....Again
I have found the Bedini II has great benifits on disks I play often. After five or so plays the sound seems to get muddy and has a loss of definition. I put it into the Bedini II and the clearity comes back. The highs are cleaner and very smooth, ... 
One step up from entry-level?
I understand, I re-voted to give you a net positive, thanks. (I must say you have truely impressed me, I will watch for more of your posts and place a whole new value on your opinion) J.D. 
Bi-wiring speakers
Excellant explaination Jostler3, I find it much easier to believe in your point when you state things like "I couldn't prove to you myself that biwiring doesn't work if my life depended on it. But I've read several explanations..." Thank-you for t... 
One step up from entry-level?
Jostler3, how could you give such poor advice. Ciruit City? The knowledge from a true audio store is worth the extra money if indeed you do end up spending more. There are a great number of products at entry level pricing that are well made using ... 
Bi-wiring speakers
Jostler3 I read through all your posts the past 30 days and found two very disturbing tendancies. First, rather than making your statements as opinion, they are more like a lecture. Like your view is the right one and that's that. The second is th... 
Attention: SONY SCD1 owners
I use the center foot and the rear two for my cone locations, the center one seams to help focus. I have no idea if that's a good or bad idea, and I never looked to see if it touched. Sorry, I own the same poorly written manual.

Sorry Chris, I miss understood. My fault. J.D. 
Coping in an Age of Uncertainty
Nice thread Kelly, I know you don't need my ideas on the topic of wich format, but let me tell you why I chose SACD. I watched for three years as the talk of a "new" format bounced around in Stereophile. I held off upgrading my digitial front end ...
