Have CD Recorders changed your listening habits?
I got one for Xmas 20000 and have used it twice. They take too much time (especially off the computer, that sucks), i'd rather have a real copy with an insert, and i don't find copying moral. I also am not a 'best of..' guy, so i have not found a ... 
Has anyone had trouble with stereophile magazine?
My girlfriend renewed my sub without my knowledge, and the Jan-March issues failed to show. I haven't bothered to email or anything. They aren't worth any hassle to me. I like reading the magazines to see what is coming out/going on, but Stereophi... 
stacking speakers?
I overlooked Sean's good point. I assumed the monitors would be removed when not in use. Resonance is more likely to be a greater problem for music than HT in your situation. 
stacking speakers?
Have you not tried it yet? You're probably in the best position in determining the implications.The only real possible problem i can see would be a compromised tonal balance due to the height of the placement and placement relative to the walls, b... 
Speaker Stand Height - Effect on Presentation
I am sure the quality of the tweeter and other speaker factors come in, but raising a speaker up and down changes the tonal balance. If the tweeters are on too high or low of a plain relative to your ears, the highs will be attenuated. Four inches... 
need help - Cd players
Better suggestions can be given if you would post what is in your current system and any sonic errors it commits. All I can add is that the Rotel is better built than the AMC and NAD & is more reliable than the NAD.

Paradigm Mini Monitors vs. B&W ?
I don't think there is much comparison. B&W is more open & less distorted. Relative to the 600s (and others) the minis lump all the sounds together and reluctantly spew them out. It may be a bit more subtle than that, but it's true. Beside... 
Am I the only one who thinks B&W is mid-fi?
Is the consensous among the 'mid-fi' camp that the Nautilus line sounds worse than the Matrix, that other manufacturers that are now making better speakers, or that B&W was never particularly good? 
Can I start some trouble?
Compared to less costly cables? In most legitimate situations, no. Quality comes at a premium. There are certainly instances, however, where a more costly cable is less probable of being 'better' (as in better i am refering to 'more of nothing'.) ... 
MC cartridge that best mates with RB300 arm....
If you go DV-20x, get the high output. Getting the LO is pointless with the P3/300, and a bit risky, sonically. Personally i'd get the 10x4, and possibly put the rest towards a Heavyweight or save it to partially pay for a TT or wire upgrade. Good... 
Am I the only one who thinks B&W is mid-fi?
I am intersted in knowing what Mikez finds better than B&W at the vaious price points. I have owned the speakers in the lower B&W ranges. I bought them after comparing them to true mid-fis like Paradigm and Klipsch. I can see why someone m... 
Newbie Pre-Amp choices ?
Another question is, what other components make up your system?PS- I see this as another expensive hobby ;)That's for damn sure. A stereo is like mugger. Welcome to the 'gon. 
Best Audio AND Video stores in Dallas/FW?
Audio Concepts at Preston and Forest and audioconceptsonline.com They are relatively new to HT ( a couple years or so), so they still lean towards stereo.I have found this store to be the best in Dallas.If you go to Stereo East, you will see Hillc... 
BEST Speakers for the BANG around 2K
