One Song Before You Go...
Dire Straits"Brothers in Arms" 
Hall of Shame
hello I may disappoint some people out there but I was totally not impressed whatsoever with any Krell equiptment I ever heard, also Wilson is way overpriced and overrated 
SACD & Wadia Digital Volume Control
maybe a placette passive remote control preamp would sound better than the Wadia volume control anyway, 3 input placette is available. 
At what freq. does sound become non-directional?
I definitely agree with the first reply it's definitely directional you can hear where the bass is coming from. 
Best amp for ML Z Quests?
you might look at Rowland amplifiers I think a model 8 stereo amplifier would match really well it has very good bass control for the woofers and sounds close to tube amplifiers it the midrange and top end. 
SACD transport?
I believe DCS has released a SACD transport using a fire wire output. 
Five amps that you want to try at home?
Audio Valve top of the line triode mono'sLamm the entire lineAudio Research 600 and 300's 
?Best speakers for a 2000 sq.ft loft?
anything really huge Pipedreams, Genesis 1's or similar, that's alot of air to be moving your going to need alot of power also suggest VTL Wotan 1200 amplifiers. 
Top 5 cd recordings of all time?
hello about the mobile fidelity copy of Pink Floyd"the Wall"I am of the opinion that this recording has equalization to roll off the highs and boost the bass on a good system it doesn't sound good, the recordings from the"shine on"box set are much... 
Good choice for ic?
if you like the coincident interconnect why change it I understand their good quality and value ? 
Best speakers for 2000-USED
hello, stretch your budget $500 and get a used pair of Dunlavy 4 speakers you won't be disappointed they can play anything well including ZZ TOP LOUD !!! 
Theta DS Pro Gen V or newer?
Theta informed me of a 24/96 sampling digital chip upgrade available early 2002 no need for up sampling with external component. 
Tube amps that can hande 4 ohmsl
the Conrad Johnson premier 8 has no problem whatsoever with Dunlavy 5's 4 ohm load at 110 dbc spl. 
anyone use the bat vk-75?
I don't think the bat will drive the Avalon's well as they dip low in impedence and like current the bat don't have. 
TAS reviews Discovery and HT info?
thank you for answering
