Amplifiers:A Keeper for Life. Do you know of one ?
We usually last longer than most of the amps, I certainly do not want to carry one on my final journey if it is dead.Marco:What about your deal with God, have you concluded it? 
New speaker "break-in" music?
Eddaytona,The guy just wants to break in his speakers nothing more :) 
How good are the B&W 801...Series 2 Speakers ????
At one time many of the studios recording classical music used 801's as reference monitors. I heard them at a friends and thought they were one of the best speakers I ever heard. 
speaker cables for Paradigm and Musical Fidelity?
Make sure you get the wire which is at least 14 guage 
Why Don't More People Love Audio?
Eagleman,Good and to the point response. Your second point on analytical listening is so true. 
Favorite SACD's
Springbok10,Beethoven's 6th Symphony sound good even on a boombox so I am sure it must be sounding absolutely fantastic on the SACD. Must check it out.Thanks 
sacd,vinyl, and rebook....
A friend of mine who has the Wadia 850, Cary 2A3, VPI TNT Jr and Alon Adriana's has finally decided to buy the Grahams Turntable and some good arm to upgrade his vinyl gear, his budget is between $3,000-5,000. He heard the SACD and after that made... 
sacd,vinyl, and rebook....
I have in all these years progressed from Vinyl>Vinyl+Tape>CD>SACD and the funny thing is I keep going back to likes of Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Armstrong, Beethoven etc etc. They all sounded great back then and still sound great today. Aft...

I'm frustrated with people who don't ...
Garyk,My system is far from being termed as high-end but it is also not something you buy at the Best Buy. I have had similar experience when folks come over who have never heard anything better than a typical $500 rack system. They usually start ... 
Favorite SACD's
If you like female vocals try the album Yola by Irish artist Eleanor McEvoy, she is just brilliant! The recording is very good too. 
Good insturmental sax jazz recommindations
Someone mentioned Branford Marsalis, I agree and my favourite from him however is the album TRIO JEEPY. Great album to have in anyones collection. 
What I want to see in the next gen of SACD players
We are talking about next generation of SACD players but today I was on the Musical Fidelity site and was surprised that they have an SACD player the price of which is 4000 in UK money! That is certainly not cheap at all.Don't you guys think that ... 
The best budget sub's for the Maggie 1C's
I use to own MGIc long time ago, I believe their frequency range is 45-18000 Hz, If I were you I would only consider a REL subwoofer as REL's are very good match to the maggies. You do not have to spend a lot on REL STrata III if your budget does ... 
What I want to see in the next gen of SACD players
Tom,Since your sub is passive I doubt it has any high level input, right? If so, I cannot think of any way that you can utilise it. Which sub do you have? Does your sub not have a dedicated amp to drive it?Sorry for the question but I am unable to...
