Thoughts on Plasma, LCD, DLP and which way to go
Yep, I second the JVC recommendation - my buddy just got a 62" JVC (for approx. $2500) and the picture is fantastic. Hard to beat that bang-for-the-buck.-RW- 
need info on phono pre......... CHEAP
It's hard to say what a "high investment" is, some folks think $1,000 is cheap. However, I'm guessing you'd like to spend a whole lot less than that. Many sing the praises of the Gram Slee Gram Amp 2, and Gram Amp 2 SE. I snagged mine (Gram Amp 2)... 
Best speakers 2,500 can buy.
The Gallos are the best speakers I've ever heard for anywhere near their price. And, their small footprint is an added bonus...One thing, though, it would behoove you to audition the speakers in your listening environment - then you'll know for su... 
Paradigm Upgrades Please Help
The 3805 will most definitely drive the 100s to quite satisfactory levels. If you get the 100s, a sub becomes redundant, they go low enough for most anyone. Then, snag some Studio 20s for the rears and you'll be jammin' like a big dog.I have a pai... 
Lowdown on Sonic Impact Class T amp
I snagged one of these for $19 + $4 shipping. Does a great job of driving my small Infinitys using my Rio Karma MP3 player. I load it all onto my wife's garden cart, roll it out back and lay out on my chaise catching rays and groovin' to the tunes... 
Will Dakiom Stabilisers work for pass X2.5/350?
Why on earth would you mess with Nelson's products by inserting some highly dubious snake-oil based tweak. If Nelson thought they would improve the sound, he woulda designed 'em himself.-RW- 
I know I have lost my mind and have gone insane
Did you just lift the cables, or did you disconnect them first, lift them, and then re-connect? If so, there's your answer...-RW- 
very small speakers suitable for wll mounting
The original ADS 200/300/400 series are very good speakers and meet your criteria. Polk also makes some nice, small, wall-mountable speakers that don't cost a small fortune. IMHO, LS3/5 are not suitable for this application...-RW- 
Cheap volume for large room
Klipschorns will fill that room, and do it with a 10 watt amp! Approx. $2k for a nice used pair...-RW- 
CD...then the SACD...all over again
So, be patient and save the $15 - it's not like they're gonna stop pressing the CDs anytime soon...-RW- 
Which Home Theater speakers for under $28,000.
I have a friend who has a killer custom home theater setup in his townhouse basement. The L/R front speakers he is using are Revels, Ultima Salons as I recall. The subwoofer is also a Revel Ultima Sub 30. The center is also a Revel Voice I believe... 
Best vintage receivers for FM?
I'm quite surprised no one has mentioned Tandberg - the 2075 and 2080 had some of the finest tuner sections ever to grace a receiver. And their phono and power sections were considered excellent, too. Try to find one with a nicely kept rosewood ca... 
My woofer won't stop barking...
Thanks for all the responses, folks, they are greatly appreciated. Since I'm a cheap bastid, I will commence to un-plugging the cable tonite and see what that brings.I am also wondering if not using a subwoofer-specific RCA cable could be part of ... 
My woofer won't stop barking...
>> Try using the main outs with a "y" cable if neccesary. <<Okay, I'll check tonite to see if I have a spare Main Out to do this.>> You aren't using the processor xover and the sub xover at the same time are you? <<I'm not ... 
PC .wav player/indexer?
Looks to me like EAC will do the tagging - at least Title, Album, Artist, Year, and Genre...-RW-
