How to merge my 2 Channel and HT Systems?
i tried a merge and it failed miserably. i still keep them in the same room/rack but also keep them separate/independant of each other.....all the way down to the power supply. MUCH better results for me.merging the two will be one big compromise ... 
Is preamp remote volume a deal breaker for you?
sure is. no remote....no deal! 
Bidat vs Perfect Wave vs Weiss and others
no doubt Vhiner...i agree 100%. when i took my pwt/pwd to a friends house last year, my psa I2S-AC12 sounded a bit harsh with his krell amps. he had a $25 monster hdmi laying around that we tried and it sounded better. hdmi is no different then an... 
Amy Winehouse.RIP
nothing ruins a party quicker then a religious zealot. they are right and anyone who doesn't "believe" as they do is wrong. we watch horrible things being done daily in the name of god. we ask ourselves...how?, why? would someone carry out such ac... 
worse entertainer or performer of all time??
my girlfriend put on some Celine Dion last week. after removing the pencil i forcefully imbedded into my eye....i told her we needed to start seeing other people. the eye is healing nicely and haven't talked to her since. 
Bidat vs Perfect Wave vs Weiss and others
i'll just reiterate how vital the hdmi connection is for the pwt/pwd combo. i will agree with Audiofun that without the hdmi, the combo is just "good". the "right" hdmi cable is a must if one expects the psa gear to compete with these big dogs imh... 
Which High Res releases are worth buying?

RE: Ethernet Cable /Patch Cable ...Any Difference?
ok...got around to doing some a/b comparisons with the ethernet lines( CAT5 vs CAT6). i noticed no difference in sound quality what so ever...which is what i expected. would have been shocked if it did improve the sound. maybe folks with a better ...

Amp for Revel Ultima Studio 2s
another vote for Levinson. just tried my 432 with the salon 2's and it sounded wonderful. would have to guess the studio 2's would sound great to. see my previous post on this topic at http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?aamps&1309277569&a... 
RE: Ethernet Cable /Patch Cable ...Any Difference?
Ben: we're both wondering the same thing here. that same thread @ PSA's site got me thinking as well. just ordered two new patch cables late last night to see for myself. went with the Belden 10GX CAT6 patch cables. very good/top of the line cable... 
What speakers have best bass for hip hop, and rock
Musicophile: good thing about a sub is you can turn it down and make "a lot of bass" go away. i've never liked subs much myself. they always sounded/felt like too much. it seems subs have changed alot since i formed my opinions on them many years ... 
What speakers have best bass for hip hop, and rock
ditto on getting a good sub imho. 
CD/lossless versus iTunes & Amazon downloads
yes...huge difference imho. Mezmo points out the trail pretty accurately. all i can add is to cut your loses now and stop paying for the crappy downloads immediately. you'll kick yourself LESS down the road =) 
Am I in the minority?
i like both for different reasons. the convenience of computer audio can not be matched. i've rediscovered my cd collection since getting my pc based system up and running. tunes i haven't heard in years are now getting regular play time. playlist...
