Kill Bill Soundtrack
I agree, fantastic, fun movie, excellent soundtrack. A Tarantino classic. 
Universal Remote suggestions
Not to hijack the thread but can any of these remotes control specialized function, i.e. looking up programs on digital cable and stuff like that. I briefly had a Marantz but it couldn't learn those funcitons so I ditched it. If there is something... 
Good Amp/PreAmp combo for Alon IV
Alon's love tubes, get a good tube integrated ,there are many choices in your price range Audiomat Aperge is one that comes to mine, and enjoy. BTW what's your source? 
Meridian 508.24 or BAT VK 5i?
I would second John's response. In general I think that the preamp makes the greatest difference in any system and a tubed preamp is the way to go. Get the BAT, great sounding preamp and from what I hear a great company. Then, when funds permit, a... 
I need a live great recording
I fourth, or is it fifth the Bill Evans. I have the K2 remastered cd and it's fabulous. I would give a slight edge to Sunday over Waltz for Debbie but they're both great. Also many of the Dick's Pick's series of live Dead shows are outstanding if ... 
The Best Inexpensive Wines Available Now
Cutodian,Unfortunatley Ch. Musar is quite expensive in the States, retailing for about $40 a bottle. Excellent wine though I agree. For something a bit cheaper they have a second lable called Hochar Pere et Fils that's about $19 a deselection of t... 
Audio House
Slappy, all I can say is if you can get all your criteria for $250,000 you're doing quite well. Here is DC that same criteria would be more like 4-500,000. So I'm content to compromise on things and live with my stereo, my girlfriend, and her cat ... 
Mark. Levinson New Pre-amp
My apologies, I misread. However I still see reference to the No. 38 series, perhaps it will be in between 38 and 32. 
Mark. Levinson New Pre-amp
That is actually an update of a current product, the No. 32 Reference preamp. It sits above the No. 38 series, so I would imagine that would continue. 
Personal Preamp Evolution
Not much here,Bryston B-60 used as a preamp>Air Tight ATC-1 current referenceNext, who knows? 
Wanna know how noisy your AC is ?
Sean,Please count me in as well and thank you for your extreme altruism. I'm something of a techno-dope, so I'll need very detailed instructions. Also, if you're a wine drinker I'd love to send you a couple of good bottles by way of thanks, as I'm... 
Johnny Cash - Rest in Peace
Johnny Cash was probably the most identifiable voice of American music of the last 100 years. To lose him is a brutal blow, but fortunately he recorded an immense body of work that will live on forever. RIP Man In Black, you'll be sorely missed. 
Be careful what you wish for ...an upgrade that...
Samuelg,That's excellent news! Air Tight gear is fantastic and I think you'll be a happy owner until the upgrade bug hits again. Sometimes all you need is a little patience. 
Be careful what you wish for ...an upgrade that...
Hi,I'm very sorry to hear about your difficulties. I currently own the ATC-1 and used to own an ATM-1 power amp and think that they are fabulous sounding components. The first thing that springs to mind in your case is maybe borrowing more efficie... 
Aesthetix Rhea vs. Io Signature
The latest issue of Stereophile has a review of the Rhea in which the author takes quite a bit of time comparing it to the Io. I think it was written by Paul Bolin, check it out.
