Spikes for Polk SDA SRS Speakers
Go to oregondv.com, and you'll find everything you need. Consider outriggers instead of just spikes. They make a big difference. 
No reforming of Led Zep apparently
Tpreaves...agree with you completely. They are leaving a legacy of some great, and some not so great music, and they all have years to go and other avenues to explore, as they choose. Meanwhile, even though there are plenty of songs for them to re... 
shindo pre-amp and power amp reliabilty
Lowens,How many years ago was that? 
Sorbothane pucks for verity audio parsifal encores
Instead of using that material, you might explore the Star Technologies Sistrum stands. They are amazingly effective in allowing your speakers to perform at their best-no hype. 
Wilson Audio- The rest of the story
Since you are so pleased with your dealer's service, you would probably do them a favor by mentioning their name. 
Favorite Pianists
Oscar Peterson; just brilliant, and he covered many styles and moods. The "Genius" word is used and often abused; but it is properly used in describing him. 
Music you HATE the most but once you LOVED it
First thing that comes to mind is the Cat Stevens album "Tea for the Tillerman". At the time when it came out, I thought that it was so great; now I think that it's incredibly trite. I think he was just pandering to a certain audience at the time,... 
Denon's 100th anniversary
Thanks Mofi, it does look very nice... 
Denon's 100th anniversary
Interesting...thanks. It's strange though that if you look at the integrated amplifier under "specifications", it lists features, but no specs, or even the power output. 
Proac response D2 or Harbeth for a Leben cs-600
Charles1dad,If it's a "cliche", maybe it is because many people feel that way. There are many ways of approaching anything, but it still seems to make more sense to choose the speaker you like best, and then the amp that brings out the best in tha... 
Proac response D2 or Harbeth for a Leben cs-600
There are so many inquiries along these lines, and I always find it interesting, and a little strange. Speakers determine the personality of the system so much that it almost seems like buying an amplifier and then looking for speakers to match it... 
Matching an amp to the Vandersteen 3a signatures
I want to second what Darkmoebius said. I was familiar with the 3a Sigs from hearing them at a shop several times with tube amps. One day a few years back, I went again and heard them with the Audio Research 100.2. That is an absolutely majic comb... 
Perhaps we should stick with midfi...
Like others have said, it could be a system mismatch. Why don't you post a couple of photos with your virtual systems ? Maybe it is your room set-up, and other members could help you with that. I have no personal experience, but from everything I ... 
Review: Marantz SA11-S2 vs. Marants Black Pearl SA-KI
Zear,It looks like the picture you posted of the inside of the SA11 is actually a picture of the inside of a Marantz integrated amplifier. 
Class A watts vs Class A/B watts
I have never heard the class A Accuphase amps, but a mid power class A/B amp reminded me of some Marantz amps I remember from years ago. It was smooth and musical, but lacked the solidity and sonic architecture of the Macs that I have used. Still,...
