Anybody into Ben Harper?
Thanks for all for your input.Glad to see somone turned onto Ben Harper after reading here.I still like Will to Live a lot after extensive listening and I do like all his older albums too. I don't have his two newest, but the live cd sounds promis... 
Biggest bucks = Satifaction? Hmmmmm...
David99,So Stereophile is on the money...all audiophiles secretly wish to drive BMW's!As to what made the most profound changes to my system, I'd have to say my VansEvers PLC. Pretty cheap too, compared to other stuff bandied about. 
Monitor W. Subwoofer VS. Floorstander??
I've just done what you've asked about, that is, added a subwoofer to my monitors. It was (and probably still is ongoing) definitely a difficult task to integrate the two together. I bought a Monitor ASW 210 as a closeout deal, since they've got a... 
Skeptical no more
Elizabeth, how do you like them ZuCables? 
Which IC is more important?
What would the "BM" stand for, other than the obvious scatalogical reference?

Thanks for your comments Sean. I appreciate any constructive criticism. At least you didn't resort to juvenile antics to admonish. I would like to be a positive person here, and not one prone to hissyfits or negavitism. Always enjoy your input, an... 
Which IC is more important?
A couple of comments have implied that I'm trying to take short cuts to "audio nirvana" by putting up this post. I'd like to make it clear that I am not. I am trying different stuff on my own, in different places on my gear. It's been, and always ...

RGD, where's the rest of your post? ;-)I hope you believe that I'm sincerely sorry about how I felt about your first post. Thank you for sticking around. I'm learning to be more open minded.

Your apology accepted gratefully Leafs. I hope you accept mine.I counldn't agree with you more on the source. When I first put everything together, I started, like many I'm sure, with the speakers, cuz they're the sexiest thing to purchase in the ...

There isn't anything left to do but apologize. I did not intend to offend, but I obviously did. For that, I am sincerely saddened by what I have done and ask all for your forgiveness, especially RGD. I think sometimes I log onto this site too late...

While I appreciate the elegance of "short and sweet" pointers, I don't find them very useful as learning tools. I am relatively new to this hobby, but having perused through many posts here and elsewhere, I do feel I already have a grasp on basic ... 
How many would be surprised?
Aren't thin things more easily broken than thicker things? Sorry if this post is sorta ignorant of the way things work. I know my dealer had some speaker cable he was gonna let go cheap but some of the strands had broken at the strain point when i... 
Rudeness With 'net Sales
I guess I've been real fortunate. I'm relatively new to Audiogon and I've only had three transactions; one with a dealer (stewart at SOS) and two personal ones. All three were great to deal with; I sent money, they sent the items. Why can't they a...
