Walker Audio Prelude LP Cleaning Solution
We're all crazy. I can't believe the amount of conversation we have and attention that we pay to cleaning records.....I'm guilty of it too. This is an insane hobby. All for the sake of good sound. I should have stopped with my first receiver and c... 
Are projector screens transparent to sound?

ARC CD7 vs ? ?
I had the ARC cd2 prior to the cd7.......no contest, cd7 was light years better. 
Pass Labs XA- ".5" ???
...the meters do move. I have a pair of Infinity Kappa 9 speakers....they dip to 1 ohm. When I turn it up and want to rock the house, they certainly make the meters on my x-600's move.

Can you imagine a world without vinyl?
I love vinyl too, but at this stage of my life, I just don't have the time that it takes to do all of the preparation it takes to just play and clean an LP on a prolonged consistent basis like I do cd's. I only keep a vinyl playback system around ... 
Anyone have any thoughts on Audio Research REF 1
I owned one a couple of years ago. It was an outstanding preamp. If you have a great FM tuner, you are in for a real treat with the Ref 1. I've bought the Ref2 Mk2 and the Ref3 since. But all of them were excellent in their own way in my opinion. 
Whats up with Carver/Sunfire?
Just went to the Sunfire site yesterday and found out that they no longer make 2 channel amps and preamps any more. They are pretty much saying that home theater is where it's at nowadays. I also saw on a Carver users group bulletin board that Sun... 
Any cartridges like Shure, but more exciting?
Omigosh! I had a Shure V15 type 3 about 25 years ago and it was really good sounding. I didn't think they would be available today. 
Feedback on Audiogon
Say what you want to, but I know that I used to have a nicer car, nicer clothes and a lot more discretionary income before I found Audiogon.....but, I wouldn't have it any other way. I love this place. 
Speaker disappearing act?
I disagree about big speakers not being able to disappear. I've owned some pretty large speakers...and when everything is right, they will vanish right in front of you with your eyes wide open. The sound is right on the "stage" in front of you wit... 
Long speaker wire runs
Regarding my purchase at Redco above, I paid about a dollar a foot and that included my choice of spades or banana plug terminations.
