What's your High End best buy/unknown components?
I agree with Jax2 regarding Klipsch. The new Klipschorns (redesigned this year) are AWESOME!! I would put them up against any speaker near their $7500. retail price. Most people think of Khorns as antiquated, outdated relics. I used to feel the sa... 
Klipsch love them or hate them.
I would put my 2002 Klipschorns (newly redesigned this year) against ANY other design anywhere near the price. I am completely amazed at how much more transparent these speakers are than earlier iterations. They produce some of the cleanest and mo... 
CD vs LP - Who cares when it's a crappy recording?
I would have to agree with the consensus that each format has its own merit, depending upon the quality of the recording. Having spent the past week or so really examining the differences between SACD, XRCD discs and vinyl, I have reached the conc... 
XRCD vs. SACD
Thanks for some insightful responses. All day today I have been auditioning my brand new Philips SACD 1000 player ($399.99 at Tweeter), comparing its sound on SACDs to my venerable $25,000. Jadis redbook cd rig. I must say that while the Jadis sho... 
Review: Piega C8 LTD Speaker
Bob:I had the opportunity to audition the P10 in my system for a month and LOVED them. They are one of the finest speakers I have ever heard- very natural sounding, yet detailed, and they have a tremendous bottom end. At 5-6k used they are a great... 
Anyone ever repaired a smashed dome tweeter?????
Unsound: Talk about your blown tweeters! 
Klipsch speakers
I just purchased the new Klipschorns (They were just redesigned in 2002) and feel they are better than any speaker near the $7500. retail price. I have had everything, including Maggies, Soundlabs, Thiels, Piegas, Cabasse, etc..., etc... and I am ... 
The Heat Is On
I had my wife cryogenically treated too. Now the sex is the same, but the dishes keep piling up! 
Customer service?
I also have had very fine service from Conrad-johnson. They really stand behind their products! 
Coolest looking speaker ever ?
Cabasse Atlantis! 
Can you help or do I have to get divorced?
Do what I did: Buy a pair of Cabasse Atlantis speakers. They are 8 ft. tall and look like Star Wars jet fighters with huge eyeballs protruding from the center. After having those in the family room, ANY other speaker has seemed small in comparison... 
Dell purchase
Dude, yer' gettin' a Dell! 
Any tricks to keep cats away from speaker grills?
Some people cryogenically treat their cables. Try it with the cat, and I guarantee you won't have the problem again. 
How do Klipschorns compare with modern designs?
Wonderful and insightful responses from all. Thank you for your great analyses. 
24/96 transport??
Tim:Thanks for the response. What puzzles me is why Levinson owners, for example, who use the 37 transport which, as I understand it, does NOT pass a 24/96 signal, would upgrade to the 24/96 Levinson DAC. Isn't it like pumping 93 octane gas into a...
