Mahavishnu Orchestra fans...?
Chazro...Thank you. I'll check some of this out for sure. Man mahavishnu/Corea in small clubs...whew, man! Pass the 40 mark myself and have some Weckyl cd's and Ponty. ? about the Cab2, Cab 4...is that the name of the band or Pasqua titles?? 
Do I need better center ch speaker-dialog unclear?
Make sure the spkr distances are set correctly and then do a channel balance on all spkrs using recvr test tone and spl meter (radio shack). Easiest way to set levels is to set channel levels to lowest setting (say -10 when range is -10 to +10), t... 
Mahavishnu Orchestra fans...?
Thanks for the response/info. Holdsworth I have listened to a bit though some time ago. Are there any newer bands that do the same type stuff? My collection has grown since I purchased a cd player back in early '82 or '83 along with a handful of l... 
Not "Christmas Jazz" - Jazz for Christmas
$500-$700 for a single vinyl album...too much eggnog I'm thinkin' :\ 
My new CDP does SACD too....
Kurt_Tank...that would be any children's audiobook...not sure if sacd format though :> 
My new CDP does SACD too....
Pink Floyd's Dark side of....Derik and Dominoes or Clapton...Diana Kralll...it's a real treat to listen to well mixed sacd particularly on a 5.1 system as I have. Totally envelops you. Real treat. 
My favorite Steely Dan song has to be...
Green Earrings or Your Gold Teeth...love'm all though. 
3.1 channel processor....is there such a thing?
Thumbs up to the new Emo...it should be impressive. 
Rain-X as CD Enhancement Treatment
I have used car wax on scratched dvd's (netflix) with success...remembering to wipe from center outwards. 
PrePro or Integrated Receiver 4 Family Ent Center
Check out the Emotiva pre-pro that is soon due for release/sale. Impressive to say the least. Price, features, quality will stomp other products that would cost double or even triple. Very tempting indeed. 
Best surround processor for $1500 or less
I'll spend my hard earned green on the Emotiva...price:features ratio is second to none plus 30 days free trial. 
Rega Planet or Apollo CD Player
I would spend more for the Apollo. Others to consider might be the Cambridge Azur's...highly rated and sound terrific...friend has the 740 and it is sweet from bottom to top. Great looking unit and in your price range if you consider prev owned. 
What's your profession? Age?
41...Elem Teacher...12k list...5k invested. Retail prices are a joke. 
My head hurts....
You should be asking, "Leopard or Vista?" or any Windows for that matter. The choice is obvious. 
One Fathom 113 or Two SVS PC-Ultra Subwoofers
Might be worth waiting for and auditioning the coming Emotiva subs...should be major for the money. Offers are a single powered and a double setup w/ outboard amp. Very state of art features as well.
