Optimal connectivity for watching TV and 2 channel audio
Ditch the sound bar. Run the audio into the integrated. Done. 
The “They are here” vs “You are there” sound topic
- which type of speakers fall in one or the other category in your opinion?- what type of sources, amplifiers or even cables fall in one or the other category in your opinion? Unless it’s mostly about the room in your opinions.Its all there. Read ... 
The “They are here” vs “You are there” sound topic
They are what they are. They are here is easier to achieve. They are here is sounds so good and clear its like they are here in your room. But you still know your room is there. They are here was the near impossible to attain goal for quite some t... 
Synergistic PHT... any other PHT heads here?
Okay so being budget minded first off tweaks like these are way more cost effective than component upgrades. Then trying to squeeze the most out of the tweaks... ECT and all the HFT versions are really very comparable. Also it really doesn't matte... 
Please suggest a few really good classical recordings
For the Firebird, that Dorati recording is about as good as I have heard of the piece. My suggestion was based purely on it being on your list and being a Hot Stamper. Now that rcprince chimed in let me expand on that.   If you really are keen o...

What did you get after the McCormack DNA1? Aronov LS-960I integrated. Had all the bass control, midrange beauty and top end extension of the McCormack, but minus the thin sheen of mosfet mist. It really was close and taught me early on just how sh... 
Home Theater Done Right: Millercarbon's System
Yeah. As if its not amazing enough how well this stuff works, its maybe even more amazing how such tiny movements tweak the sound so noticeably. I never was able to get anything even close to too bright or hard with any of them, but was able to tw... 
New Omega E Mat from Perfect Path Technologies
That's a transformative stash of stuff you got there. E-cards are awesome anywhere near a transformer. Some you can even slide the E-card in between the iron and the windings. Did that on my step-down transformer, awesome. My Dayton sub amps are s...

Your first system and your journey...
pre cd so turntables and most of the Japanese speakers looked good but were not that great sonically. Yeah, none of us really had any idea what great sound was until the CD came along and showed us all how its done. 
To integrate or not...
Tube integrateds are hard to beat. Where you say you can't change interconnects, what I see instead is not having to spend a lot on a good interconnect, without which separates simply cannot compete. Oh and power cord, cones, shelf, fuse. Having t... 
New Breaker Box-Should I upgrade?
Seriously??! Add a panel??!   Add a freaking panel?!!?!Keep all the unnecessary lines, even after Michael Fremer explained precisely why that is a bad idea, and then add to that even more unnecessary connections. Add a whole new panel for which th... 
Best bass in Earth! Bass that just smells right...
There is no stereo information at the lowest frequencies. Even if there is, there isn’t. I’m not gonna get into a technical spat over timing either. None of that matters. The simple fact is human beings cannot even hear low frequencies at less tha... 
Jazz for aficionados
There is nothing that irritates me more than guys in the "Analog" forum. When these "newbies" buy a record player and wonder why their records don’t sound so hot, those guys act like they don’t know what’s wrong, when they know full well that if y... 
Just Curious - About using a AV Receiver as main unit
This was just a thought experiment I can’t imagine they are all crap Well then thanks for letting us know this is all in your mind. Would have been nice to know before wasting our time. But whatever.If you do at some point decide to quit just mak...
