Are we all destined to be "womenless" audiophiles?
I agree with Mt10425. Make sure you marry while your still an enthusiast because once you become a full blown audiophile it could be too late as all your extra money goes into this hobby and dating can be expensive. My wife use to be an active par... 
Clever Little Clock - high-end audio insanity?
Pabelson, are you sure the testimonials are legitimate? For $200.00 there most be a more verifiable tweak worth buying that will make a significant improvement to ones system. I fear by our very active debate on this thread will spark someones cur... 
Clever Little Clock - high-end audio insanity?
I agree somewhat with Charlie101 in that its up to the mfg to provide evidence that the CLC works or at least some rational explanation on how it works. Since that has not occured it is now up to the consumer if they are willing to part with at le...

Hi Audioari1, I think Zaikesman is stating that your request to keep a level of seriousness & maintain credibility has been somewhat undermined by your last statement of keeping wise-ass comments to a minimum. I'm not really sure myself if you... 
McCormack DNA-1 150watts...185watts?
Wow Eragot your post is right on! I remember reading that myself. You have to appreciate Steve McCormack's genius behind this amp & its ability to provide almost unlimited power into any load. Definately one of my favorite solid state amps!

Charlie101, I'm sure the clever little clock constantly monitors its time against the atomic clock, keeping it accurate within seconds of each year however only time will tell. Definately check out Wellfed's write-up on this superb product & c...

Audiofankj, yes you will find this product widely used by people that own beachfront property in Arizona that don't normally post a virtual system. Good luck!

Musicdoc, interesting post! Or maybe it emits a high frequency sound not audible to the human ear, repelling rodents & other pests thus creating a quieter listening enviroment.

It has no direct effect on the audio signal, yet it has a pronouced effect on the sound of digital & analog systems. What! How? Sounds like alot of double talk! Or maybe you can just buy one and solve the mystery for $199.00. 
hum from nearby high-tension wires?
Steverw, what recommended treatments have you tried? 
Does having an object inbetween the speakers bad?

Since this hobby is insane already, I would say anything that crosses that line is over the top! 
Klipsch speakers sound better than ever
I own the Klipsch CF-4s since 1990 and will never part with them! Everyone that has heard them thought they were excellent! 
options for 2.1 sound
Check out the B&K PT-3. It is a 2.1 remote controlled preamp, inexpensive on the used market and sounds very good! Has full range, high pass, and subwoofer outputs. Much better sounding than the Adcom. 
Cable Break-in....again?
Shadorne, you could be very well correct in regards to the subject of breaking in cabling. If I understand you correctly your suggesting that if there is anything breaking in at all it would be the components & not the cables. Since most quali...
