A blasphemy....I know....
some of you are confusing the mixing of pigments to produce color, and spectra of light. They are not the same thing and do not work the same way. Mix all the colors on your palette, you get a dark, dirty gray. All the colors in the spectra combin... 
Is it OK to place speakers behind me ?
you have achieved "background" music, literally.

love my ARC LS7.. but need remote, suggestions?
Mrkoven, if there was a difference, I did not hear it. I've had mine for 10 years or so. NOS tubes certainly make a difference. btw, you sometimes see LS-15's on Agon for $1200, if you can stand to wait. Dob, don't the Joules tend to be more "tube... 
try an entry level Lyra to hear house sound?
Thanks, Jonathan! I called Needle Doctor to order a Delos and try it, but am waiting to hear back on when they would have one to ship. Wanted a Fosgometer, too - might as well set it up properly - but wait-listed on that too, est. 3-4 weeks.audio ...

Tube Preamp, Amp or Int for holographic imaging?
switching to a tube phone pre might well move you in the direction you seek, and a tube amp (and preamp) would also probably help. IME, the EAR 834P sounds pleasant, but turns everything to mud, and more or less requires expensive NOS tubes to sou... 
Amp Power Conditioner or not?
Even though they helped in various ways, I gave up on the isolation transformers I was using; hum was too loud in my small room. 
Comparing ARC, Lamm and Modwright Preamps
Rrulack, I had the impression it had dual volume controls, one for each channel, and no remote. In other words, not only do you have to get up, getting the volume right requires diddling with two separate controls. A purist approach, but not for e... 
azimuth adjust with Origin Live Encounter
which version Encounter? 
My ears of tin are over 50
An absurd thing to say. 
Fleetwood Mac
Best band ever? You can not be serious. loomisjohnson above id'd their best stuff. You might like the Buckingham/Nicks album those two made before joining. 
Comparing ARC, Lamm and Modwright Preamps
Don't the Lamm's controls, which maximize inconvenience, place it in a different category? 
What is your favorite guitar solo of all time?
Stevie Ray Vaughan - all of them. 
bent stylus questions
thanks for the cogent responses. I don't think it is damaging records at this point, but will replace it as soon as finances permit.
