I too plan to attend over the weekend. Thanks for the link as I was not sure exactly it was held!!!. But I admit, i am little bit apprehensive about going there and listening to mega buck systems and for fear that I may look DOWN upon my system. T... 
Love it, or Hate it ? (wood trim)
I think I would make up new category-"Depends".On how it is done that is. Love the two side wood panels on my JOR looks great, but I wouldn't like it as a front panel. Hate the wooden knobs on Art Audio amps. Love the wood work on some of the PATH... 
Queen on American Idol
Yep Velo62, I too, was wondering about Prince's backup singers. What a highlight of the otherwise cheesy finale. I enjoyed his performance too. He acted like royalty too. Did his thing and no cheesy BS. On AI, Personally I liked Katherine, though.

Best "album" of 2006

listening to music in the car
Sbrtoy, agree on all counts. My system exists no more (Tired of repeated radiator leaks and donated the car) but the amps and sub woofer box practically rotting in my garage. I let the expesive head unit and dsp processor and component speakers go...

persoanlity and speaker preference

Cardas Golden Ref vs Acoustic Zen Silver ref vs KS
Audphile1, thx for the insight on AZ cables. I got a new turntable (La Luce w/ Helikon) and a phono stage (Clearaudio balanced ref). So I need great sounding phono cable and IC from phono to Pre amp. The plan is eventually to change all other cabl...
