Placing bookshelf speakers on a bookshelf
As close to the edge as possible and use brass cones or black diamond racing cones to help isolate the speaker from its own vibration. 
Tell the Truth
I wish it was a perfect world Bob, cause your philosophy would be applied to life not just Audiogon.com. 
Terminology?
Actually the Medulla Oblongata controls many of the bodies automated processes as well as translates nerve messages from the spinal cord to the brain.Resident Biology/computer geek.m-

Medulla Oblongada makes alligators onery, not their sharp teeth as one might have you believe.Name that crappy movie;) 
General opinion about ADCOM amplifiers
I had a cold solder joint in my Anthem Amp 2 and had to send it in for repair. A friend let me borrow his Adcom (don't know model but will post it when I get home) and so I can directly compare the two. The Anthem was hands down better; bottom end... 
Sony SCD-C555ES problem with multi-channel
Ouch. That last part makes my nervous about my future 555 purchase. The disc itself could be defective...try buying a new one at a different store and see if it plays. Since you stated other multichannel SACDs play, I don't see how it would be the... 
what is a good sound stage suppose to sound like?
There are some sites that do give very detailed specs as to speaker postitioning and distance...even has a mathmatical equation. I was addicted to achieving that 'perfect equation' but then found all room interactions are different and no equation...

paradigm studio 100V2 with Mcintosh tubes
I initially heard the Studio 100s with a Mac amp (sorry, don't know the model, but it was SS) and it just didn't have enough juice to run them. I thought they sounded horrible. Not to say Mac and Paradigm won't work well together, but the 100s nee... 
8 Time Grammy Award Winner? For Real?
Buscis:I agree with your last statement whole heartedly, but I guess I am more cynical than others here (except pbb, he appears to be lost forever in cynacism) in the way that the grammys have been a joke for as long as I can remember...of all thi... 
8 Time Grammy Award Winner? For Real?
I guess I can understand where your coming from in terms of not original material, but how can you possibly knock Nora's talent, ESPECIALLY in a world of Christina, Britney, M&M...etc? 
PC to DAC to PreAmp
I broke down and bought the Extigy, and am very happy with it's sound and also some of it's features. I can understand why one would say the Audigy 2 was only a slight improvement over the Audigy, but then again concider your going from 24/96 DACs... 
PC to DAC to PreAmp
Thanks for the info Prpixel. I'll check out the M-Audio. As far as the jitter goes, does that not directly relate to the quality of the fiber being used, not to mention the source? I have a Monarcy DIP I planed on using, but the statement fiber ca...
