Favorite Concierto de Aranjuez Version?
Thanks much, I'll especially keep an eye out for the Marriner/Romeros version. 
Comcast HDTV???
Thanks for all the info. The installers dropped by EXACTLY on time. Kinda spooky. It is the Motorola unit. I hooked it up using their "Component Cable" which was actually a 75 ohm composite cable with a red and white set of audio cables. Ran cable... 
Comcast HDTV???
Fujindemon,Yes comcast is evil incarnate, unless compared to some of the other cable companies I've dealt with. The employees are pretty clueless. I tried an antenna with a roof mount, but I couldn't even get regular network TV. I'm out a in valle... 
Best cover tunes
All of Willie Nelson's Stardust Album. Besides, he was hilarious on the super bowl commercial for H&R Block.Also love Stevie Ray Vaughn's cover of Little Wing. 
Comcast HDTV???
Thanks for the input, When I'm up and running, I'll add a comment on percieved picture quality. On local comcast, there is no upcharge for HDTV, just a $18.95 ''Installation'', for dropping off the box. We get ABC, NBC, and PBS, CBS is still being... 
Who is your overall favorite guitarist?
By genre: Classical-Julian Bream, Jazz-Wes Montgomery, Rock- Stevie Ray VaughnBest concert I ever saw was Stevie Ray on his Couldn't Stand the weather tour. No opening act, 70 minutes including encore, but what a 70 minutes. Voodoo Chile into Thir... 
any new Quad 11/12L owners?
I bought a pair of 11L's about 6 month's ago, I compared them to Proac tablettes, and I liked them better. Replaced some Totem Rokk's, much cleaner midrange and highs. More dynamic than the dynaudio 42W's I use as HT surrounds. They are in my bedr... 
Ugliest speaker ever?
I hate the new Dynaudio Confidence line. It looks like a beautiful Dynaudio Cabinet stuck in a black corset. I loved the look of the old confidences.We need a "Least Improved Cosmetics", this one goes negative. 
How to integrate SONY TA-P9000ES to Home Theater
Pretty basic. Hook the outputs of the TAP9000 to the NT512. Hook the MC1 Outputs to the 5.1 Bypass Input of the TAP9000. Hook your Multichannel SACD or DVDA to Input1 or 2. The 5.1 bypass is very clean and that is how the system works with the pow... 
Comments on Clearaudio Aurum Beta S
I had a little hum on mine until I put the little plastic stick on film ''shim''on the cartridge and used the plastic screws that were included in the package. I'm using the RB300 Quint wired arm and a Gram Amp 2 SE. It is very quiet now. Groundin... 
Personal speaker evolution
1.Homemade speakers from a friend of my hippy sister 19762.JBL L110 from my brother in USAF 1980-present (An evil HT speaker, We don't need no steenking sub) Returning to my brother after refoaming the surrounds on the woofers.3. Wharfdale Delta 5... 
Real Stinkers
Anything after Eliminator by ZZ Top. They used to get funky, but MTV popularity killed them. 
"must have" accessories for TT and LP?
I love my Expressimo Lift and Heavy weight on my RB300.The Wallytractor was the easiest set up tool I've seen.Love the Hunt EDA brush for quick touch ups of clean vinyl.You need a good car for mad dashes to used vinyl sites. I prefer a Saab 93 Con... 
Dynaudio Contours or Monitor Audio for HT
Perkadin, What are you driving them with? How about cables? I'm always open to new ideas (under $500). I like the Nordost Solar Wind on the fronts and 2 Flat on the surrounds. I had Analysis Plus Oval 12 before, and it was a little laid back. Kimb... 
New Processor
Thanks for the input. I was hoping to audition today but an ice storm is keeping me in. I had a sitter lined up for the daughter and I was hoping to enjoy a self indulgent afternoon. Does anyone know why the Classe SSP30 is already on a MkII? That...
