| How do you arrange the order of your records? Groups by nothing within. Jazz, rock, blues, classical, misc. | |
| When You Buy The Whole Album And Only Like One Song. "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida" by Iron Butterfly would surely qualify for "bought albums because of one track...only to find out that one track was the only one on the entire album that was listenable" | |
| How do I get the best soundstage? Speaker placement and room acoustics are primary factors affecting soundstage. | |
| Revel Concerta2 F36 and the like.... Looks like a nice assembly of well spoken of gear you’ve chosen. Keep up informed when completed. And post your system in 'virtual systems'. | |

| Least Expensive Power Conditioner/Surge Protector That Won't Worsen Sound I use a Panamax for my HT and they’re good and priced right. They even have one plug that is for high-current amps. I use an audiophile grade basic power strip for my music system. | |

| Hate fireplace in home theater room I have a fireplace on the side wall in our room. I like it there a lot and not a big fan of a tv above a fireplace or a pull down screen in front of one. On occasion we'll have the fireplace on at the same time as a movie. | |
| Class A or Class D solid-state amplifiers (modern designs) Saying which is better, class A or D is like asking which is better, tubes or solid state. There is no definitive answer. Great and mediocre in all class types. Part personal, part associated equipment, part environment, part 'your' ears also come... | |
| McIntosh -- good for show, not for sound, says dealer I don't understand why all the hate for those that love the McIntosh brand. It's like Ford vs. Chevy. Let folks enjoy what they like. | |
| Need help picking my first tube amp Chinese tube amps are good. Many mainstream manufactures like PrimaLuna are made in China. No worries. I'll look for a basic push-pull EL34 tube integrated that is hard wired because the circuit design is simple and repairs are as well down the ro... | |
| Cary Audio SLP-05 First Impression Yup, Cary products definitely have that 'wow!' factor Mr. Xcool. | |
