tube vs SS preamp
Schubert,Can you please explain what that means? I do not know much about tubes - honest. In a tubed preamp - how long do the tubes last? What is required for maintenance?Thanks! 
Top brand speakers
Metralla,That was really hilarious. We all should be using more "I".:-))))) 
Audio Sensibility vs. Signal Cable speaker cable
My entire system cabling is Signal Cables and I am pretty happy with them. I am not sure what price point in "high end" you are looking at, but there is another gentleman on this forum who uses Signal Cable with his Legacy Whispers or the like.Aud... 
Best car audio, Burmester? highly disapointed
Who listens to audio when you are in a Porsche?You listen to the car :-) 
Need a good Nerd Opinion - Biwire Best Value
Not an expert. But you should look into Signal Cable. They should be within your budget. 
Has anyone bought the OPPO 105 and has an opinion
A person in our neighborhood has purchased the Oppo 105 for video use (mostly). We are getting together at my place tomorrow night to see how it sounds in my passive system - RCA Vs XLR. We will be comparing the Oppo to my existing SACD player.

Thank You for the heads-up. 
Acoustic Room Treatment – any simple solutions?
I use GIK. You can start with two 2X4 on the first reflection points (1 on left and one on right) and another two in between the speakers. In my room, the 2X4 made a huge difference for sound staging and focus. The 244 from GIK will work fine for ...

Glad I read the complete thread.I am not a TV guy at all. My MAX TV time in a day is 15 mins of NEWS channel early morning as I have my breakfast. But lately wife/kids want me to watch at least one family movie a week on Friday night. Initially it... 
The best monitor under 1500
Since this is RV, why don't you go for the Pioneer SP-BS22-LR and save some?With experience I can say that if you keep them between 1-2 feet from the rear wall you will get pretty tight bass. Move them 4 feet from rear wall and the bass goes bye b... 
Which $500 Speaker Next?
George,I think you got me wrong. I am not doubting the Lightspeed. But from my personal experience I found out that more voltage can make a passive system sound better. I have a TVC in my system. I used to run RCA between this TVC and my amp (1V s...
