Love Audio Love Cars
Odd how many of us like cars and high end systems, maybe we just appreciate high perfomance stuff? The two hobbies are similar in that you need to keep things in perspective or you can go WAY overboard for that last inch of perfection. Slippery sl... 
Why the limit on warranty to subsequent purchasor?
I sent this email to a manufacturer:Gentleman,What difference does it make who owns the unit, the original purchaser or a second owner? If you offer a warranty on your product you should honour any repairs needed within the warranty period regardl... 
Why so few pictures posted in Virtual systems?
I have a digital camera that is 4 years old now, a Sony Mavica. It takes lousy pictures so why bother? It's entirely possible I just haven't learned all the ins and outs of the camera but I use it rarely. I'm an audiophile, not a shutter bug 
No Stairway and no Free bird.. please...
"Whippin' Post", a classic. Listen to Zappa's version on "Does Humour Belong in Music" and try to cover that if you can. Dweezil and Frank going at with awesome guitar solos. A few Tragically Hip tunes would be nice, "New Orleans is Sinkin'" is a ... 
No Stairway and no Free bird.. please...
If you like Rage as much as I do, it would be hard to narrow down the choice of tracks. How about "Calm like a Bomb", "Guerilla Radio", or "Sleep Now in the Fire"? If you haven't had a chance pick up Project Wyze's first release, do so asap. Quite... 
I'm trying Shanling SP-80 monoblocs at home...
Toby,Seems you've become quite attached to the Shanling stuff; can't say as I blame you, the 100 sure is a sweet player. I'll be curious to hear your thoughts on the amps as they break in, they certainly look great and if they're anything like the...

I own an Alexandria and a Delphi IV. The Alexandria is both visually appealing AND a very nice sounding turntable for the money. No, it's not a Delphi but in it's price range very very hard to beat. The fact it's in AD shouldn't diminish it's qual... 
Jeff gets goosebumps from a Shanling, thanks Toby
Model 100. It's the Redbook player with HDCD, the 200 is the SACD that evidently does a great job with SACD's but according to Toby is somewhat average with Redbook. My boss picked up a 200 on Friday, I'll be curious to hear his thoughts on it as ...

SAR and equiptments from infected countries?
Someone sneezes on a piece of metal, and you'll get sick several days later? Sounds like some sort of Star Trek episode to me...kind of like the time Captain Kirk did the nasty with a green alien "woman"

Speakers for NAD 3020 integrated. under $200?
I agree with Bill & Tom, the 302's are a nice speaker. Another to consider would be the Sound Dynamics either used or new at Audio Advisor. 
YBA Speakers, does anyone know anything about them
I had a pair, briefly. My dealer ordered them for a customer, the customer backed out, and my dealer had them gathering dust for the longest time. I picked them up cheap and listened to them for a while then sold them to a guy in California. They ...
