Best preamp for Audio Research VT100mkI
I second Dweller's opinion. The Audio Research LS 2B should work quite nicely. 
The Politicians Are Getting Involved - Stop Them
This goes back to the old, old saying. It rings truer today than when it was first uttered."No man's life, liberty, or property is safe while Congress is in session."I wish I knew who said it. But it sounds like something Will Rogers might have co... 
Whats the best power conditioner for RPTV?
Richard Gray Power Co. RGPC 400sHooked my 60 inch Sony up to it and saw noticeable improvement in picture quality. Highly recommended by Widescreen Review.If you look around on Audiogon, you should be able to find a good used one for around $450. 
How many of us have worked in audio stores?
An equally interesting question is how many of us would LIKE to work in a HiFi store. I know I would. Especially if I got paid in equipment. Maybe when I retire...

Should I buy headphones?
Living out in the hills of Tennessee, I can play my music just as loud as I darn well please. I don't have to worry about thin walls, irate neighbors, etc. The headphones do come in handy for those interminable periods of time when my power amp is... 
Where do you sit?
I have an old recliner that I have broke into just the right level of compliance. And we'll just leave it at that. :)

Hall of Shame
I really have to hand it to ya Mozart2000. You sure know how to stir up people's passions. :) I guess one person's snake oil is another person's magic bullet. Now, as a certain android once said, "Please continue the petty bickering. I find it fas... 
Recommendations Needed: Upgrading from ARC CD-1
I think the 3 previous posters nailed it. The CD-1 is a very good machine. I have an all Audio Research system, including a CD1 LS25MKII and VT100. I too, was ready to upgrade from the CD1, but decided to try a couple of tweaks first. 2 of the big... 
Fedex Weekly Damage Report
And here I thought it was only the knuckle dragging neanderthals at UPS that pulled shenanigans like this. I definitely feel your pain. I had a similar experience recently when trying to ship a Tice Power block. I would be interested to hear how g... 
Original Packaging, you gotta have it.
Sometimes you're just S.O.O.L. if the you buy the item used and it didn't come in the original packaging. That being the case, I went to MBE, had them box it up in bubble wrap, styrofoam, etc. but not double boxed. Sure enough, the unit was trashe... 
Wouldn't it be nice...
Didn't they do something like that for the Wakonda a few years ago? I'm sure if they thought there was a market for it, they might do it. Ivor? Are you listening? :o) 
Hall of Shame
What else? No highs, no lows, must be Bose.
