Digital Rights Management and iTunes
All the more reason to buy physical media. I buy CDs then rip them for use on my music server and iPhone. I can then make a million copies if I want, rip them at whatever rate I want and whatever format. The cost savings is negligible compared to ...

Jedinite24-thanks for the response. I'm using a downward firing with passive radiator right now and just received my SubDude, i will add my input after i get a feel for the new addition. Kkm-i agree with you that the build quality is cheesy. My fr... 
Which line conditioner is best for my situation?
I have used passive PS Audio and Monster Cable conditioners and recently tried out (hope to purchase soon) a Shunyata Hydra. The Hydra easily bested the previous products I have tried. I would throw a shunyata conditioner in with your options as w... 
Why no heated gear?
To clarify IMO a "warmed up" component is when it sounds best, not that it is warm to the touch etc. As we all know those are very different when it comes to the sound of said component. I want to expedite the time it takes from off to sounding li... 
Why no heated gear?
Thank you everyone for the input.I'm with you Herman, that some sort of heating would have a positive effect on the warm up process. I completely agree with all the posters that warm up is the only way to get the gear to sound it's best, my intent... 
Why no heated gear?
4est-Standby modes are great, I was thinking of something that allows a person to keep the gear off for longer periods of time to either keep hours off their tubes or to save electricity if you have SS gear. Cyclonicman-my pre also has a warm up c... 
McIntosh MC303 vs MC402 with 501's?
I would be worried about the voicing diffence between the yamaha and the mcintosh. Keep an eye on videogon as well for 303s

Does it make a difference if the sub is downward or forward firing to get the best results? 
VS VR2's and new amps
What do you think your missing? You said the Vons are back but now you are thinking about new speakers. Something isn't pleasing your ear. Is it the speakers, the amp or something else? I had a Bryston amp before my Mcintosh MC275, it made me stop... 
Current Inexpensive sub that can get it done cheap
Ballan- the new rel g-series are going to start between $3500-4000 for the G1. The following g-series will be released sequentially in about 9-12 month increments. Not the "cheapest" of subs. Defcon3-I have a Rel T2 that I am pretty happy with, it... 
Cars R OK, but what kind of motorcycle do you have
1980 BMW R100T with an S fairing. Not the fastest or best stopping bike in the world but I love the simplicity. Being able to remove the exhaust, head, cylinder and detach the wrist pin in under 45 minutes with little more than a couple of sockets... 
REL Gibraltar subwoofer
Update: The first G1s are to arrive in late July. Priced around 4k and should sound like a stentor/studio. Can't wait to hear it. 
REL Gibraltar subwoofer
Word around the campfire is that they won't be available until August. They were supposedly to have started shipping this month or July, I haven't heard why there has been a delay. If I am remebering right I believe the G1 will be released first t... 
Milty Zerostat - Questions
I don't feel I'm using the gun imporoperly by pointing it at the object when pulling and releasing the trigger. If the gun was designed to only release positive ions then why does it release negative ions when the trigger is relaxed? I agree with ... 
Milty Zerostat - Questions
The way i use mine is as follows...from about 3" away from LP or disc i slowly pull the trigger as i move the gun back from the object to about 12". At that point i have timed it so that i have completed pulling the trigger as i reach the 12 inche...
