Harmonic Tec vs Dh labs Q 10 vs TMC Gold reference
WHeer can I go to try these TCM cables? Any help would be great! 
Help/ opinions on my H/T setup??
Regarding your question, What is right is what sounds best to you. Just because two units come from the same company doesn't necessarily mean that they perform best together. Reliability, features, upgradeability & SOUND(especially) are import... 
Recommend a good value X-over w/stereo low end
I don't think any of those cross overs can touch the Outlaw ICBM. Not only does it have stereo sub capability but it provides X-over control for all 5.1 channels if you ever went HT. It was origionally created to provide "extensive" bass managemen... 
Audio Recession
Audio recessions are a good way to convince yourself that the system you have isn't all that bad after all. Instead of constantly looking for that new piece that makes your system perfect, a lack of funds all of a sudden forces you to spend a litt... 
Floor Resonance and Full Range Speaker Stands
Thanks for all of the responses. I live in an apartment in NYC so I guess suporting the floor is out unless my down stairs neighbor wouldn't mind the construction work. I was about to purchase a pair of Lovan full speaker stands and although I tho... 
Recommendations for a CD Recorder
I was in the same place as you Mc. I eventually went with the Denon 1500 dual deck CD burner. However, I sold it and am now in the process of purchasing a unit from Lansonic. Please go to there web-site at Lansonic.com. I guarantee you will be int... 
Which DTS Decoder???
If you want to hold on to your curent receiver than I would not invest much money into a DD/DTS decoder. I would look for a Technics SH500D decoder which does both DD/DTS and can be had new for about $200 - $300 and used for about $150-$200.

Some Fun? "B" Groups/Performers??
I agree Tube Groover about Sarah. However, I get what whatjd is trying to achieve so I'll give a little input. How about the Sylvers behind the Jackson 5. Here's the best, The Monkees behind the Beatles??? Boy what a reach!!!! 
Tape Loop and HT pro. loop - same thing?
Thanks Glenn. I'm looking at pre amps that have HT bypass switches so that I may integrate my 2-channel system into a HT system. I know about Rogue, Adcom & Sonic Frontiers having HT bypass but haven't been finding many more other than the one... 
Will Internet Distroy High End ?
It's not that bad for off line dealers. Infact, I know of a few mom & pop dealers in my area that do business with 3rd party on line distributers to get a share of the on line business. This way they only exist to the distributers and not the ... 
How much are you worth ?
I judge Value in Audio by asking myself 'Can I afford this piece and at the same time get the performance that is advertised? Is there a similar piece of gear but at a smaller price that can provide similar performance and build quality?Does the b... 
Best Pre-Amp w/Throughput for HT ?
Depending on how much you want to spend and if you want a tubed pre or solid state pre, I would consider at least listening to the SOnic Frontiers Line series or the Adcom GFP 750. They both have a HT bypass loop and work very well in 2-channel mo...

Welcome to the Wild Wild West Artemus. Anyway, Ginn what is it that you don't like about your system? Is it bright or lacking power? What about clarity? If you tell us what is it that your system doesn't do for you I'm sure lots of us will gladly ...
