portishead, goldfrapp, looking for more ......
Hooverphonic. Their first album is their best, but you may like the subsequent, less guitar oriented albums. They also did a great rendition of "shake the disease". I would also recommend Curve. Again, their first (three) albums are the best, but ... 
The new line of Sony DVD/SACD players
Oh, I wasn't talking about my system, but the system of the average Joe who frequents BestBuy-type establishments. Although I can see now how my post would be read that way, I was not referring to purchasing one myself. I just think that it is an ... 
To turn off or not to turn off
Your call. I wouldn't worry about failure, but some companies find that thier products prefer to stay on. Except for warm up time, I don't think it matters much. 
What time do you wear?
I have a couple fake Rolexes I got on the mean streets of Bangkok. They are pretty decent fakes, but of course the movement gives them away. One of them fooled a clerk at Best Buy, though, and he was like, "Whoa...cool watch!". I said, "Yeah, I kn... 
Oh, crap.
Today's events included a phone call to the dealer. I thought you gentlemen made a wise suggestion, so I was going to make an offer on his Spacedeck. Well, he was like, "Wow...you must have ESP, I just going to call you. Audiophile Systems called ... 
Rega Mira and B&W N805s?
I have not heard Rega electronics, but I know the 805s, like all B&Ws, like a bit of power. 
Oh, crap.
I would definately take the Spacedeck, if I could. The Spacedeck and Spacearm is quite a step up from mine ($2500 v. $1500), but he mentioned it as a HIS last resort. I believe he was sincere in his offer, but who knows were it would really wind u... 
Oh, crap.
Thank you very much, everyone. I faxed the letter tonight and also called to dispute the charge. The CC woman I talked to told me that it was a long shot if they could help me because it has been over 90 days. I thought of the small claims route, ... 
Speakers for the party system
I was impressed by JBL's Studio 38s. Musical and enjoyable. Not the best for sitting still between them, but with the good amount of bass, musicality of the mids, and non-glaring tweeter, I think they could do a party. 
good silver IC's to audition?
I have had success with Musicmetre. 
best budget integrated amp for rock n roll music?
The Mistral is a bad little man. A couple years ago I heard it with a CD12 driving a pair of $4500 Ruark 3-ways, and, man, great tone, very potent, and smooth. They never told me the price of it, but I would of died if they said, "$995". I bought ... 
Simply Vinyl...why the bum rap?
I concur :) 'Lost Highway' soudntrack sounds very good on Simply Vinyl. 
Best speakers for my system/taste/budget?
I heard the S38 the other day and was impressed. I have not liked JBL's past speakers, but the S38s are well balanced, pleasant sounding speakers with good bandwidth. I do not know how well they soundstage as they were placed in the top corner of ... 
Rega P3 / Music Hall MMF 5 or 7 Turntable decision
I would really try to get a used Rega 25 too. It craps all over the P3, a table which, in my opinion, is a step down from your cd rig. I have not heard any Music Hall players. 
Sound Absorbing Material
Two more are fiberglass and Sonex. audioadvisor carries sonex. You can use fiberglass to build your own.
