Klipschorn: Still relevant??
Sorry to raise everyone's blood pressure, but I just don't see anyone going to Klipsch. Maybe I'm just not around all the hoards of people dropping their exotic speakers for Klipschorn. Larry510, Thanks! I'm glad I still have the vigor and attitud... 
Klipschorn: Still relevant??
How many people are going to replace their speakers with Klipschorn? That's what I thought. 
Von Schweikert VRS/1 subwoofer - thoughts?
I'm a big VS fan also. But I'd also look at Rel subs. 
Don't Think I'll Buy This...
sounds like a caveman selling an amp. you buy now oohh 
Think I'm going to try tubes...
I've heard both Jolida 502B and ASL AQ1001DT. They are both great, but I liked the ASL better because it has the tube qualities, but also the good parts of solid state. You can put it in triode mode (less power) if you really want to see why peopl... 
Best bargain integrated amp?
ASL AQ1001DT for about $1,500 will give you a tube integrated that has the lush qualities of tubes, but will also give you a lot of the positive attributes of solid state. If you want solid state I agree with above Naim Nait 5i received great revi... 
Absolute Best CD Players Out There Under $12k ?
Connie, I agree. Only God is all knowing or mother earth or whatever floats your boat, but people clearly have a limited point of view. Cars and stereos are not apples to apples. And opinions are like $%#@holes, everyones got one.

Beginning the Analog Adventure
Judy426 is right. The extra money you spend on a RCM is for convenience. As long as it sucks, it's as good as the rest. Unless you get into the freaky expensive stuff. 
Cartridge Recommendation
I did the exact same thing as Dupzyk. I would use Dynavector unless you are willing to spend over $1k. The 10x5 is great. 
Absolute Best CD Players Out There Under $12k ?
Calanctus, You do realize there is almost no limit to how pricy these get, and pretty much every other audio component. As long as there are people that want to drop large sums of money, there will be companies that will make the product whether i... 
VPI Scoutmaster upgraded to a Super Scoutmaster?
I agree with jay_douglas_287@msn.com. I have the VPI Scout, and it is an awesome value, but as you get into a higher price range there are better alternatives I think. 
Yet another "battle of the formats"
Competition is good if someone wins. The problem with SACD-DVD-A is they both lost. I mean we got some good music, but nothing that will be standard. I assume the next gen for music anyway will not become standard either.

Why not just put a down payment on a house. Rent it out and as it gains equity buy a $50k CD player. Just a suggestion. 
Best SACD player under $1500?
there are a few. I have the Sony xa777es modded. I got it used for about $1,500. The SACD is great. The redbook is really good. As much as I hear people complaining that the redbook wasn't very good on this player. I keep comparing it to other pla...
