| The Boss is the Bo$$ 500 million is a lot of money. I'd selling everything I own for 500 million and would not look back. If he sold for 1 million, he'd be a fool but at 500 million I can't see a down side. | |
| Advice for Amp to Drive Klipsch Forte IVs ...most tube pre’s have high gain so noise is an issue. I am running 12db attenuators which remedies this.... Nothing wrong with this. Although 6 db might be enough but as long as you can get the volume you need/want it's fine. | |

| Sound System on $10K Budget Pick your loudspeakers first then you'll know what monies you have left over for other stuff. Don't discount good cables, a 10 K system can definitely benefit using decent cables. | |
| Many CDs, no CD player (a question about ripping CDs) I don't know crap but you can make an exact disc copy in DOS. The music services use a different format some better than others. I still use CDs, nothing is better than the original source. |
