Ever feel like we are going nowhere here?
I don't know what your griping about. Audiogon has this cool feature where you don't have to actually read everything... YOU CAN SKIP OVER IT. Nothing irks me more when someone writes "search the archives stupo." That's just going out your way to ... 
Loud and Live
Does anyone else think The Who Live at Leads has great imaging? My current favorite live rocker is Derick and the Dominoes Live at Filmore. 
Best next step to upgrade sound?
My recommendation is a tube dac and a mac (or a pc). 
power conditioners for digital
There is not enough room on my transformer for another dedicated line. You bring a point I would like to expand upon because I have a music serving computer at my two channel system also. I only have one dedicated line there also. It sounds like I... 
power conditioners for digital
I have one dedicated circuit. I have the following components at this room: AV reciever, satellite box, av computer, tube dac, plasma tv, an amp for outdoor speakers, and a dvd player.Except for the outdoor amp everything is digital. 
Hobbies other than Audiophiliac?
It's golf for me. I have a 5 handicap and a nephew on the PGA tour (Joe Ogilve). I grew up playing golf with my 6 older brothers who were all competent golfers. 
Gas or Charcoal
Trelja... Now that's a component with a quick burn in. Is that the equivalent to a cable cooker? 
Gas or Charcoal
OK, I guess I'm hybrid also. My weber has a gas lighter that I put a chimney thingy on top of to get it lit. And, although I don't have a turntable, I have lots of tubes to keep things real. 
Perreaux in North America
I had a problem with a Perreaux piece and found the customer service to be horrendous. I also thought the sonics was mid-fi at best. 
best used cd $500 - $700
A TRL modified Sony 595 if you can find one. 
Art Dudley's Audio Note AN-E SPe He Speakers
I am also considering the Audio Note speakers. I have a couple of questions for the AN intellegencia. What is the comporable less effecient speaker in the AN line to the E SPe HE's? What amp and pre would be a good ballanced match for the SPe HE?I... 
How much money on speaker cable?
I'll second and third reccomendations for Analysis Plus and DH Labs as good bang for the buck and appropriate for your system. 
Ringo Starr or Charlie Watts???
Charlie and Ringo?... yawn. How about Bonham or Moon? 
Suggestions for an affordable pre/pro
I would reccomend a Marantz or Denon 5.1 reciever. The cheap pre/pro route just isn't worth the hassle of additional power cords, interconnects, heat, space, hum, and etc. Use the surround amps in the reciever and supply your own 2 channell amp fo... 
Allison Moorer - Mochingbird
Muzikat... I heard Queens Interview on PBS radio when she was promoting her last album. It peaked my interest at the time but I forgot about it. Is she talented or what? Acting, comedy, hip hop, soul, talk show host. She can do anything and do it ...
