Do higher end tuners pull in more stations
#4 the cool factor. When you show the tuner to your friends and tell them what you paid, your stock will go up. 
Cary vs Jadis vs Quad tube amps
I have no expereince with the Quad, but I have some with the Jadis and Cary. The Jadis used is a much better deal, and they are better made than the Cary gear. Cary seems to put their money where it is visible, but not where it would not be seen, ... 
Thoughts about these forums
I have probably been as guilty of this as most people, but I also have a gripe. When people ask for general information to improve their system and someone tells them to buy the same speaker, amp, cable, house, or ears that they have.This site is ... 
Hiff Eff. Full Range Fostex Driver question
I don't know anything about these speakers, help me a bit. This full range (that needs a sub?) speaker uses multiple drivers? There is no crossover? WHAT THE PIG? 
Speaker Terminology
The easiest guide for speakers and the rest of the system is Robert Harley's "The Complete Guide to Highend Audio." Every music lover who is also hooked on gear should have a friend with a copy of this, so they can borrow it! 
2 way vs 3 way / Monitors vs. Floorstanding
Crossovers are subtractive, in every sense. They remove signal from the speaker. Good speakers will suffer less from this, but simplicity in the signal path is of prime importance.Another issue that cannot be over stated is matching speaker size t...

Speaker distance and tow in?????/
Rockvirgo mentioned the most common rule for speaker to chair ratio. I have used this with good success. It's too bad you can't get the speakers farther out into the room. This would make a difference, at least, and probably an improvement.Toe in ... 
Wisconsin - Anyone interested?
Like many of you, I have wanted to be in an audio group my whole life. Up till now the petition has prevented this possibility. Since the statute of limitations expired about three years ago, this club is now a reality. I have had the opportunity ... 
In what ways is Mark Levinson better than Krell?
Why are there so many Krells and Levinsons for sale? 
Speltz Anti Cables
I'm using an anti-cable type product. It's the same wire without Paul's termination. I'm not sure about them yet, I have them between my Classe Omicron and a pair of borrowed Focus speakers, but they aren't doing anything bad! 
King of the Hill
Perfect sound is a complete red herring. I'm not sure great sound is even obtainable. I've writtten long, boring posts on whether live music is a good objective standard. IMO it is not, but that's for another fight.The only time a system will soun... 
Looking for the best pre amp
I don't have a clue how much you want to spend, but Aethetix makes unbelievably good stuff. They have a big range, but it's not cheap stuff. Tube pre-amps don't always match well with SS gear. Klyne makes a great SS pre-amp, but not in the league ... 
What is a small quality rear speaker that doesn't
Check out the Sony SSM3es. After you get over the Sony thing, they are great little speakers. 
What Happens When You Die?
Ttrhp, I'm not sure, but I don't think that's heaven?!? I think that's farther south.
