Music and politics
I agree with Cruz123. I get very, very tired of being hit over the head with some artists' political viewpoints. (And, why is it almost always the left leaning musicians who do this?) One other thing that I have found (IMHO, anyway), is that when ... 
Any U2 Fans Here?

Integrated amp for Eggleston Andra II
Hey Tvad,The Pass Labs XA-60.5 might work okay for a small room, but it would be hard pressed to drive the dual 12 inch woofers to full effect in a medium to large room. The Andra II is fairly inefficient @ 88 db (with 6 ohm minimum).I use the 200... 
Best Outer Sleeves for LPs

ARC Phono - Which one should I get? Ref or PH7
The PH-7 has many more features than the Reference, (and more easily accessed via its remote control), so I would go with that one. As long as you don't go with a really low output cartridge, you should be okay. 
Killing BluRay, new Oppo BR 83
I agree somewhat with your view that a good upconverting DVD player can come close to Bluray picture quality. I have both Bluray and HD-DVD players that both upconvert and it is difficult to tell the difference, unless one gets really close to the... 
MSRP policy-
I agree with you that the seller in question should show the correct MSRP. 
What do you think?
This has been brought up a few times before actually. And you are correct, that the seller should have asked your permission before using the picture.I assume that the seller does not have a digital camera, (or is just plain lazy), hence the reaso... 
ARC Phono - Which one should I get? Ref or PH7
What cartridge are you going to be using with this phono preamp? (Specifically, what is the output of said cartridge?) The ARC phono preamps tend to have a somewhat limited amount of gain, so if you are running a really low output MC cartridge, (s...
