Which Solid-State Preamp under $7,000.00 New?
I have to go with Thomasheisig since I just bought the top of the line Klyne pre-amp. Just throw the Pass Labs away and buy a Klyne : ) 
B&K Sonata M200 vs Aragon paladiums - whats better
Sogood51 is right again. The Aragons are great little amps, and a very good deal for the money. If I were buying I'm not sure what I would do though, you are in the range of some very good stereo amps on the used market. The Pass Labs is a good op... 
odd binding posts won't fit spade or banana do i
Because naked cable is as unsightly as Janet Jackson's breast, and it will oxidize. Spades and bananas will not oxidize so the signal won't be degraded. 
Would you pay to rent my media/video room
I can go to a movie for about $10.00 for two hours. I have friends with nice big HTs where I can go for free. No attraction for me, I guess I'm too cheap.Remember people don't take care of things that don't belong to them. Have you ever rented a c... 
What is the standard for judging a systems sound?
It would still be fun to hear it! Are the CDs all gone? If not where could a person obtain one?I've been thought of as seedy by several people in my life.

Zaikesman I offer my condolences on your tube. I'm glad it wasn't anything more than that!Interesting test you ran with your new amp,and the CD-R. You are right, you know what your guitar sounds like and you know the voice of the singer. I would b...

Listening room in Attic or Living room???
Rives basic costs are less than the average componant cost sold on AudiogoN. They can get very expensive if they come to your house and act as a consultant while the building is taking place. Their basic package assumes you are doing the work. The... 
Listening room in Attic or Living room???
Rives is for real. They are very knowledgable people and have enough experience to justify their advice. I have spoken with them on the phone, but have not used them yet. I have a basement listening room now, but I'm planning an addition onto the ... 
Do You Remember Your First CD Player?
I waited for a while and bought a Magnavox CBD 650. I don't even remember what happened to it, but based on the junk most of us had at first it's amazing that they caught on at all. 
HDCDs from China?
China has a huge problem with pirated CDs and DVDs. The government cracks down on occasion, but there are far to many people who make copied CDs and DVDs and then pawn them off on anyone willing to pay the cut-rate prices for which they will sell ... 
What is the standard for judging a systems sound?
Zaikesman, consensus does have value, as do the opinions of everyone who reviews a piece of gear, as long as it is done with integrity. If you tell me the Mc Cormack amp sounds good I believe it does. Based on your comments I would tell someone el... 
What is the standard for judging a systems sound?
Zaikesman you are absoluely right about reviewers, both here are in publications using other gear as the standard. I don't think anyone's reference system is a valid comparison by which to measure new equipment. No one else knows what your, my, or...
