female needs expert advice
You'll get all kinds of speaker wire recommendations, I like Transparent with Classe amps myself. I have an older Classe amp, and to set it to bridged mode you flick a toggle switch inside the amp. Once you've done that only one output works on th... 
What is stopping the ultimate?
I'd like to be able to plug my turntable directly into Sean's perfect speakers 
How do i level speaker stands.
Otto, most speaker stands have female threads that accept the male spikes. Why not find some longer male bolts that will fit in the female threads of the stand, and then grind them down to the various heights you need to end up with level stands? ... 
Need help for wife acceptance
I'm in the same boat, my amp is in the basement directly under the speakers. The set up is like this: I drilled a hole in the floor behind my rack where my preamp and source components live and dropped my 30' long Goertz Micropurl balanced interco... 
Is there an AutoGon on the 'net?
I'm more interested in parts for my cars rather than buying a car. I have a 1989 Toyota Supra Turbo and a 2001 Acura 3.2 CL-Type S. I'm interested in after-market exhausts, wheels, performance improvements, trim kits, etc..I already did the stereo... 
ARC preamp compatible with Classe amps?
Classe amps are terrific values, I've owned several over the years. I used a pair of DR-8's with an ARC SP9 MkII and with a SP14 with good results. If you haven't bought the preamp yet, a better choice would be a BAT. 
Dylan on Drugs ?
RL, the fuss about Dylan: he is one of the greatest songwriters ever, but really shouldn't attempt to play/sing his compositions. Like Leonard Cohen, Bob has no musical talent and should restrict his musical performances to the shower. I saw Dylan...

Preamp Showdown: BAT or Sonic Frontiers?
I've been through a ton of high end gear over the last 25 years, especially preamps. My BAT VK-30 blew me away when I inserted it into my system, the BAT stuff is the best gear I've owned yet. How would I describe the BAT VK30...smooth, very light... 
"Downsizing" to a maybe better CDP?
The Cambridge 500, Rega Planet, and Audio Refinement Complete are well thought of in your price range. There's a great selection of quality CDP's if you stretch your budget some. Your finances are none of my business, but a $700 CDP probably won't... 
Do you drink when you listen?
Pass to the left folks...I find this thread VERY amusing, here I thought you guys listened to long haired music in the sweet spot. The idea of quality audio is to try to re-create a live event. I attend plenty of live rock shows and the air qualit... 
Got a melody running around in your head?
"Silent Lucidity" Queensryche. Awesome tune 
Songs & Artists NEVER HEARD on the RADIO?
The Tragically Hip get airplay in Canada, but nothing in the U.S. Bizarre 
Music room is above FR. Need to dampen sound.
A less intrusive approach is to install the thickest underpadding and carpet you can find on the floor of the listening room. Probably not as effective as Rph's suggestion and some thumping from the bass drivers will still be heard or felt. In my ...
