Sorry wirehead but Margo's coming to my house this weekend for a little private showing, er I mean show. 
Preamp shootout: Joule, CJ, BAT
Thanx Karlojay - is there a website with info on joule? Where can you get info on the company - just curious, might mate one with my Classe/Thiel combo. Great thread - I'm also a big Meridian fan, still using the 200 series trans and dac. 
Preamp shootout: Joule, CJ, BAT
Fascinating thread, how do you guys or gals think the Joule would mate with a Classe amp? I'm currently running CJ but about to upgrade, possibly to CJ17, but haven't heard in my system. Thanks. 
Cable Supenders - Anyone Try Vibrapods?
I've also tried and hear no difference - I don't think, how many of these tweaks are in our minds? 
Speaker Upgrade, Vandy 3a, Thiel 3.6 ect
Excellent repsonses above, I'll only add my 2 cents - these are phenomenal speakers which can support anxillary equipment costing many times more than you'll ever pay for 3.6's even new. My electronics are just past the line of acceptable for thes... 
Clapton tour
Thanks, I have also seen him alot and I was hoping for maybe something more in the vein of 24 Nights. Thanks again. 
Your 5 Fav Rock Concerts
Stones - Steel Wheels, Clapton - Journeyman, Stephen Stills, all electric in 1986 in a bar, Jethro Tull - 1976, tied for 5th Allman Brothers and Neil Young with Booker T and the MG's. All concerts were either front row or very close to front row w... 
Need feedback on Classe amps
Haven't heard the CAMs yet but the review was good, I have read threads where people think Classe is not dynamic but IMO that's a very general statement without considering the other components. I have a CA200 and it is plenty dynamic for me, I ha... 
Levinson 380S or Hovland 100?
Paul, I,m coming to Mass. this week on business, I'll come by and kick you - just kidding, I have heard both the BAT and CJ mentioned above and they are both excellent. I really like the CJ sound, it's pretty consistent throughout the line. The BA... 
John Dunlavy On "Cable Nonsense"
Hey Leafs - in your opinion, you spend more time on one-liners slamming MIT and your promotion of Coincident cables. Hmm, interesting. I borrowed Coincident speaker cables from a buddy here on audiogon and they didn't do it for me, IMO. Does't mea... 
Help me Tweek my System, for less
59burst, I've never had success plugging a power amp into a conditioner - it just seems to make it less dynamic and open, I've always gone directly into the wall. The other biggest tweak period is finding the perfect spot for you speakers, this ca... 
Opinions of MIT MH 750 speaker cable
The shotguns are excellent, smooth, cyrstal clarity and imaging that will be scary on some recordings, I've heard the analysis plus - not in the same league IMO. 
TV/DVD Setup Disc
Sean, I have a pioneer elite that I haven't calibrated yet, just using the avia disc myself. I get some occasional shadowing and posterization depending on the source, especially when the source is DVD. I think that is because it hasn't been calib...

Hey Garfish, seems like Albert might be a little uptight about his things, he'll probably spend most of his time sliding coasters under our cold beverages - see if you can loosen him up...Jerry
