Album Of The Year 2011
Beth Hart & Joe Bonamassa "Don't Explaim" 
Ashes. Snow. Love.
I was going to say something about the new Ryan Adams release but I was afraid you guys would think I went off the deep end. Call me crazy, but every time I play that CD it’s like I drift off in a haze. 
C7 - two prong Power Cord make a difference ?
I replaced the cord on my Comcast Cable Box with a cord manufactured by HiFi Tuning. I purchased that cord from The Cable Company. For $99.00, I think it's a no-brainer. 
Should I upgrade to the Theta casablanca III HD
Before you take the up-grade path, you might want to consider or at lease talk to Audiogon Member Dave_newman since he’s presently offering a Casablanca III with the HDMI Board and Supreme DACs… at what appears to be a sweet deal price.  
JL Audio
Sailcappy makes a good point about how a cable can take a sub from good to great. When I added the Synergistic Subwoofer 2 XLR cable to my system, it was as if my JL-F112 took singing lessons. 
Zen Adagios...outriggers?
George99sa... In the Speakers Threads, look under the "Best Treatment For Speaker Feet" thread for my answer on how to contact Sound-O-City.

Stanwal... as fate would have it, I received the following E-mail from the organization you refer to where-in you say "There was a really good looking outrigger base with spikes for a not totally unreasonable price but the web site has disappeared... 
OPPO 83SE AC Fuse
Ernday, thanks for your response. I'm buying a Theta Compli Blu to replace my Theta Compli. You make a good point because the OPPO 83 comes with a 2 prong IEC and the Compli Blu uses a 3 prong IEC. I guess I'll have to wait for it to arrive to ans... 
Most achingly-beautiful music
Cut 10 "Ain't No Way" by Beth Hart and Joe Bomanassa from their Don't Explain CD. 
Beth Hart & Joe Bonamassa-"Don't Explain"
This is one they should have done with a DVD. 
Are CD players dead
With the purchase price of downloaded music being close to the cost of buying a hard disk CD that was produced in a brick and mortar manufacturing facility, it should be no surprise to anyone why the music industry is pushing this IMO flawed media... 
Buying used or sight unseen speakers a bad idea?
Maybe I'm missing the point but isn't most everything sold on Audiogon "sight un-seen”? I live in the Chicago metropolitan area, point being “lots of people”, but whenever I have $$$ burning a hole in my pocket, I rarely find what I’m looking for ... 
RCA to XLR Adapter
Al... thanks. Last night I also found other threads that said not to do this. I do appreciate your answer. 
What started you on your audiophile journey .
I heard an AR 2A.
