Brownsfan, another call for the Vegas line robbed Cleveland of a win.Amazes me how fans cling to the myth the NFL is above corruption.

You're no doubt correct Brownsfan, perhaps because I have so much neurosis myself is the reason I see more in the calm humility of Bruckner than in Mahler.

Must of been a great let-down going from Bruckner to Mahler.

Beau Arts trio is an automatic but for me ! 
Peculiar Hum Issue on Jolida JD9 Phono Preamp
Should pair it up with my Jolida amp which hums loud enough to be a spare air-raid alert. Junk. 
Problems with Mapleshade cables
Yes, exact same problems -a total PITA . 
Happy music...
Schubert's "Trout Quintet", thought to be the most popular piece of chamber music ever written. 
Best Amp For Maggies 1.6 Tube Or SS
SS unless you have 15K to spend on a big tube amp. 
MIT Terminator 4 Bi Wire?
T-2's were best but not up to todays levels, T-4 wasn't much even back in the day. 
Acoustic Zen Adagio vs Crecendo ?
Thanks Hasmarto, confirms my intuitive audiofool thoughts.

Brf and Mapman tell it like it is.Like everything in Audio its trial and error, which makes this hobby both fun and a PITA .Somewhat like women. 
Magnepan 3.6R

The best monitor under 1500
KEF 50 is a great rock speaker, but IMHO way too forward for Classical . 
Zu or Totem or ProAc?
Zu are rockers, others not so much. 
Remote volume control = unacceptable compromise?
I've yet to try one that could get exactly the volume I wanted. Too coarse a level for my use.IMHO every recording sounds its best at one volume only, after the first 20-30 thousand tries your brain and fingers get rather adept at finding same.
