Dunlavy SC IIs
I started with the Dunlavy III's. The advice above is right on, if you like the Dunlavy sound and the II's impressed you you'll be in heaven with the III's. P.S. welcome to Dunlavy! 
Soundstage - Too much?
I believe it has to be aural illusion. All we are hearing is the reproduction of the sound in the studio or hall. We hear what the microphones hear, right? That's why on the Copland disk my music room sounds 100' wide. I'm reproducion the sound of... 
Soundstage - Too much?
Copland 100 on Reference Rec. "Fanfare for the common man" the entire hall is there, front, sides and around. I think alot of the RR recordings extend the stage. 
Snake oil and tweaks that work!
It was just a misunderstanding Retroguy. It sounded so outlandish and I jumped. I'm sorry, it's not my normal reaction. I've had it with some of the people on this site and I figured.... I figured wrong, no hard feelings I hope. I've enjoyed your ... 
Class Action Suit against UPS?
I use US Postal Service "priority mail" for cables and small items. It's a quarter of the cost, almost always air-freight and no problems. It takes three to four days, but with my coin hobbie on eBay I've yet to lose a package in about 600 deliver... 
Soundstage - Too much?
I don't think you can have too wide or too deep of a soundstage as long as you don't give up imaging. My soundstage is simmilar to Cornfedboy, well beyond the side walls and very deep, on some recordings (Dr. Johnson - RR sound test) the back wall... 
Buidling a Classical Library - MUST HAVES!
I would like to take a second to thank all the postings for the great information. I've already ordered a few from the above list. I'd like in particular to thank Sugarbrie who has been most helpful here and in a email. Thanks again!

Your right, and they too were very disapointing to me. Thank-you for reminding me!

Oh, sorry Retro. The Absolute Zero was the tip. Let's say really cold, liquid oxygen cold huh? 
Review: Blind Faith 24BIT Reissue & Second Disk
The deluxe set has a nicely written anthology of Blind Faith and they spent some time discussing the American tour. They were often overwelmed by the venues and the crowds and the equipment they owned was not at all capable of getting above the di... 
Snake oil and tweaks that work!
I have to say it's a bit disapointing that it's not possible for people who want to make fun of an honest question to stay away! Most of us want real advise, not clever ridicule. What suppoedly happened to your disc frozen to absolute zero (not ye... 
Power Conditioners
I have heard from a couple dealers that the new Shunyata Research Hydra is "THE" conditioner! Has anyone used it yet? 
High on Thier List, But Low on Yours
B&W 801, Wilson speakers (for the money) Levinson Digitial and pre-amps, Audio Research, Wadia, and Meridian speakers. (sorry to those who love these, they just didn't work for me) 
Are you Guys Rich or What!?
Honey, can you get the maid - I need a grape. Ah, that's the life, rich and sassy. NO! I'm far from rich, just an addict. I traded in the drugs of the '60s for musical nervana. I drive a ten year old car with 180,000 and it runs great. My clients ... 
SACD player is not that great.
I'm assuming you tried this but when I got my SACD I ended up with a slightly different speaker location. I have no idea why, with the new speaker location the whole thing changed. I then went and put the old player back in and it's imaging was aw...
