If your going to run a dedicated line for your audio system,don't sell yourself short-run 2 dedicated(at least)Its only more wire and it will fit in the conduit. I ran 2 dedicated lines to my system,and its one of the best tweaks you can possibly ... 
amp for thiel cs1.6??
For about 500 bucks you can get a Forte 1A or the 4A. Class A circuitry. These amps are incredible. Then you have some loot left over for cables. BTW-These amps are 50 watts of class A,and thats a very conservative rating. 
Has anyone demo'd the Martin Logan Clarity?
I own a pair of clarity's. I also have the new sub(depth)and the ML center channel. For home theatre its an incredible setup. Actually I think its more impressive in 2 channel with the subwoofer. I have never heard a sub blend in with a pair of fr...

Why Doesn't Contemporary Jazz Get Any Respect?
I would like to retract my"old tired winey stale"comment.Music is all about the passion and emotional effect it has on us personally.I saw Warren Hill preform locally at a small intimate club.It was nothing short of a religous experience.Nobody ca...
