Are You Content With Your System?
YES YES YES! It sounds better every time I listen to it. 
Hi-end DVD/CD Machine vs. Hi-end CD Player/Transpo
That is true. The faroudja does not have DTS. Although DTS is superior to Dolby Digital I felt the faroudja played Dolby Digital better then other players played DTS. If DTS is important then the faroudja is not for you. 
Is it my imagination?
If its an item you want at the price you want what does it really matter? If its to much leave it for someone else. Is it really any different from buying something yourself and then selling it when you want to upgrade?If the person is being fraud... 
Hi-end DVD/CD Machine vs. Hi-end CD Player/Transpo
I use a Faroudja DVD player. The sound portion of it was designed and built by EAD. The sound quality is incredible.For CD I use a Classe Dac 1 and a Classe CDT transport with a Genesis digital lens. On its own the Classe is noticeble better but I... 
Anybody have a technical definition for "Jitter"??
I think something like 50 percent of the information stored on a cd is a security system to stop people from copying mass cd's. Supposidly you can copy one cd to one cd but not one cd to a hundred cd's. All of this extra info creates a lot of prob... 
Would you sleep better at night if.....
I have all Classe equipment and under the advice of Robert at Classe Audio I switched to balanced interconnects. The difference is very significant but Im mot sure its $2500 worth of change. If you are going to upgrade the level of the cables I wo...

Replace Velodyne HGS-18s with Revel B-15s?
In the meantime try putting those Velodynes on 6 inch stands. Even if you just make a box for them it will make a huge diffrence. It cleans the bass up quite a bit. 
Monitors vs Full Range
I agree you need real low base and monitors lack that. Thats why you had a couple of Rels and have the best of both worlds. The mid base in some would suprise you and my rels go to 18hz (I think). It also allows the speaker encolsures to be more c... 
Driving SF Extrema with one BAT VK-60 ?
When I auditioned my Extremas I heard them on two amps. A ca 300 and a Sonic Frontiers equvilant tube amp. I found the tube amp a little mushy with the Extremas. There are of course a hundred other reasons why that may be but I am curios what kind... 
CLASSE - Great amps or highly flawed?
Give a CA 400 a listen 
Do you drink when you listen?
Pot excites the part of the brain that controls senses. Thats why you hear and see more. That is also why you get burnt out when you over do it. Those parts of the brain get worn out. I think it also removes the desentisization you get from experi... 
Do you drink when you listen?
A beer or two but as mentioned above there is nothing like good smoke. It enhances the music better then any component can. 
Any good audio book suggestions ???
My favorite is the Master handbook of acoustics mentioned above but I also got my hands on an old tweeter training manual and I have to admit the information it had was suprisingly indepth. Now if the salesman would just actually read it....
