Package Lost in US Customs
No it means US customs is a mess. I ordered HCQ from the UK. When it got stuck in customs a couple weeks the shipper sent me another order at no charge. The second shipment was delivered the day the first one cleared customs. Three shipments of fO... 
How Do You Live The Audiophile Life
The quality of the question you ask, determines the quality of the answer you receive. Quality question, Quality answers...Bingo!Also, do you hang around and act interested, or post some spur of the moment random thoughts and bail? 
Re wire a Graham arm wand
Ahhh! I had one of those. Graham 2.2. There is someone who can re-wire. Graham. But it will almost certainly be cheaper and better to just by another one. 
Mirage Speakers?
What I make of it is HT. You couldn't pay me to take a receiver with surround. 
Too good a post to waste
If your audio memory is so short cdorval1 I pity you when your wife calls and you fail to recognize her voice on the phone. Maybe try asking her to talk in small samples see how far you get. 
Why no Virtual System pics??
911 guys are never "under the hood working on their cars." The hood is in front where the trunk is. Under the hood is luggage.   Its not a car, its a Porsche.   One does not work on a 911. One details, polishes, tunes, modifies, and maintains.   M... 
Unbelievable
Dare I mention Ted Denney invented some UEF sound control paint? Rather than being made by Synergistic the technology is to be sold under license. Just sayin'....

TV RCA out into Rogue Line In should work. Make sure its TV RCA out and Rogue Line In. If its connected right and no signal then check your TV menu and manual to make sure RCA line out is selected.  If none of that works then yes there is a simple...

Just so you guys know, the whole thing of OFC, five nine's purity, connectors, braids, and all that jazz, is nothing more than a variation on wire is wire. The original claim was all that matters is the gauge. Now instead of gauge you're saying it...

So he doesn't deny it. Interesting. 
Have you ever used a separate speaker selector unit to audition speakers? Would you?
Yes, one possibility here is that I'm just stupid. But another is that you tend to rush through experiences or don't pay enough attention to realize they are complex. To a gourmand, all food can be gobbled up quickly. But I've read other comme... 
Ambient temp increase with tube amp
You might try having the tubes cryogenically treated. That will cool them way down. 
How do you share the sweet spot?
Right you are, Oz. It is a physical impossibility. The sweet spot is after called the sweet spot, not pleasant zone, okay area, better than being in the other room, etc. That said, never underestimate the audiophile. With enough time and money it ...

Mike, you do know he has no system, is no audiophile, and only comes here to mock and troll. You do know that, right? 
Ambient temp increase with tube amp
If it gets too hot I recommend a Vornado. Get the big full room one, as the big one can be run on low and yet be placed far enough away you can't hear it. Pointed towards your legs it will cool you down without rustling air by your ears. I've been...
