New transport
I have heard a lot of good things about the Pioneer DV-47 and I plan to purchase one myself. However, you should be aware that there are some other units with the same capabilities just now coming on the market in the same general (or slightly low... 
CD manufacturers anti trust case for price fixing
I would vote for requiring them to drop the price of cd's to no more than $9 per cd. But that'll never happen.One of my co-workers used to be controller for one of the Big 5. He made the mistake of pointing out how they could improve their record ... 
Velodyne F-Series for theater?
I have both the Velodyne F-1500 (HT) and the REL Storm (2 channel Stereo). While the 15" Velodyne can definitely rattle the windows, IMO, the REL is both faster and tauter. If you're making a change anyway, I'd recommend that you audition both if ... 
Vinyl distortion - What's the problem?
All the previous posts had good advice. The only thing I would add is to check the cable. Is it worn or in need of replacement? Is it attached securely? 
Can 2 preamps go to one amp?
Personally, I would be more than a little nervous about accidentally overloading the amp.Have you considered a setup where the signal for front left and right HT goes to its own particular input on the tube preamp? Some preamps even accomodate for... 
Auctions - why bid early?
One possible explanation is I think a lot of people like the fun of bidding on a "dream" item, like that Krell monster amp they could never afford. They can fantasize about getting it for a really cheap price. At least until reality kicks in. Thes... 
I wanna hear some "audio" jokes...and
How many audio snobs does it take to bias a set of 6922's?None. They're solid state guys - TUBES? we don't need no steenkin' tubes. 
Best Concert DVD
Thanks very much to all who posted. Many of these were already on my shopping list. I've since acquired some of them through eBay. Others, like Calle 54, I never would have thought of, but will now consider. Nice thing about it is that most of the... 
Best 5 Channel Amp
I have had my trusty Krell KAV 500 for more than 5 years now and wouldn't consider anything else. 
Has your system changed the music you listen to?
I don't know if it has anything to do with my stereo, but I have been listening to more C&W ever since I moved to Nashville. :o) 
Anyone else like to Listen in the Dark?
So glad to see I'm not the only one with this little eccentricity. I've always thought that turning out the lights turns your focus away from the visual towards the audio, and heightens the listening experience. That's why my listening room is set... 
Feedback question.
I would consider myself fortunate. At least they are leaving positive feedback. Rather than no feedback like a lot of people do. Or worse yet, negative feedback.People can and do get in a hurry. And make mistakes. I try to give everyone the benefi... 
For All You CCR Fans
Gerardff,Thank you for taking the time to respond. In deference to your claims, I decided to try to duplicate your results by comparing my "originals" to the new 180 gram reissues. I could not. IMHO, the 180 gram reissues were superior to the orig... 
Ideas for shipping vinyl??
I always recycle the boxes I get from Classic Records, Music Direct and Acoustic Sounds. 
Linn Linto vs Audio Research PH3
UpdateI have had a few days to compare the Audio Research PH3 with the the Linn Linto in my system. Extremephono, you hit the nail on the head. While both units are very fine examples of what is possible with vinyl playback today, the Linto, at le...
