Classical1 and Budrew, I live in San Ramon. I've seen all these concerts and known people that have gone, but I got down there. The bay area is great for music. San Jose jazz festival, etc. 
What CD players have volume control

tube amp will drive von schweikert VR4-jr?
Does the VK60 have a 4ohm and 8ohm option for output, because the mid/highs are 4ohm, and the bass is 8ohms? I ask because my tube amp has an option for both, and it made a world of difference matching the 4 ohms. I would like to with a bat eventu... 
Richard Green room tune?
I'm sort of kidding. Sort of because you do have the same grammer, but I didn't really think you were. Are you? ;)

C5150, Hi Michael!

Fishwater, What isn't a PITA in hi-fi. just kidding, I know what you mean. The manual actually says that an outboard crossover isn't necessary becuase there is one internally for both sections. It also mentions good results for a 100-200 wpc SS fo...

Well, I can't blame you for ordering it. I love my Cary 308T (better than the 303/200 which has better detail). I gotta have the tubes to make me happy and keep it musical rather than analytical. But Cary has done a wonderful job on all CD players... 
Best value table/arm/cart combo?
I third the VPI and would laugh at or ignore anyway who calls it entry level. It's one of the most popular in its price range for a reason. I use mine with the Dyna karat (mkII something). It's great and if you HAVE to spend $3k there are plenty o...

The difference is huge. Wine all starts with grapes, and then gets processed. Audio components have a lot more to do with materials that go into the product, engineering, and usually the heavier the better (shipping costs). Too much of a stretch t... 
Backwall wall behind my back treatment.
Is there enough room for diffusion? It seems that you need some room for diffusion to take place. 
iPod nano caution: incredibly delicate finish
I've heard a lot about the screens being unreadable after getting scratched. Oh well, stick with the original. I mean how small do you need it. 
Richard Green room tune?
I've made a diy version and it works. So, I would assume the real ones do too. Eighth Nerve does the same thing, and they've said that they haven't had a single return. For the difference that it made for me, I believe it.I'm kind of worried about...
