Can you help a computer "idiot" ?
How can one EASILY transfer the entire contents of their "inbox" when using Outlook Express over to a floppy or CD ? Please bare in mind that i AM a computer idiot. If you are going to offer advice, please be prepared to hold my hand all the way t... 
Dirt on my stylus.....what to do?
Rwd: Any thoughts on the "ole #9" yet ? Sean> 
How does the Phase Linear 400 compare?
Thanks for the follow-up James. Just goes to show how much things have changes since then, both in audio and the economy. While JGH thought that $100 was enough to separate one item from another in terms of the price category of a component, we wo... 
Class A and B differences?
Have you been leaving the Pass amp fired up 24 / 7 ? If not, try doing that and see what you think of it. Give it three days of "steady AC burn" before really giving it a good listen. Things may settle even more after that point, but they will be ... 
Buying speaker and amps from Canada to the US.Tax?
I know that anything being shipped from Canada into the US via UPS will end up getting you some type of customs brokerage fee tacked onto it. I do not know if this is directly related to declared value or not. All i know is that it raised the pric... 
Power amp recommendations for 1000 and under
Unsound: I am not familiar with Coda products other than knowing that some former Threshold employees now work there. I have wanted to check out some of their power amps, just never had the opportunity to.As to some of the Threshold products being... 
How does the Phase Linear 400 compare?
James: Thanks for posting that. Where in the world did you ever find that ? Do you still have the original magazine or was it on the net somewhere ? I guess if you take things in perspective, J. Gordon Holt made some of the same comments that i di... 
Great Imaging Speakers Working against a wall?
Some speakers will image quite well up against a wall. That is, IF they are designed for such a situation and you have NOTHING in between them. This means no racks, tv's, etc... that protrude beyond or close to the front plane of the speaker. In o... 
Power amp recommendations for 1000 and under
Krazeeyk: I "passed judgment" on your end goals by looking at the equipment that you mentioned as being on your list of things to check out. If you look at them individually, you might better understand why i said what i did.Rega Planet: This play... 
"Concealed Damage" and FedEx Claims
I think that Fed Ex is slowly trying to revamp the company ( aka "disaster" ) that they had purchased. The problem is that they took over a company that had its' head up its' ass and had tried to continue operating it in the same fashion. As time ... 
Power amp recommendations for 1000 and under
Judging by the equipment that you listed, it would appear that you are striving for a system that is somewhat on the warm and smooth side rather than the ruthlessly revealing / ultra- detailed side. If that is the case, i would personally pick up ... 
Perfect sound forever ? Not even when new...
I just returned and picked up another copy of the QOTSA cd that was defective. This disc does the same thing. Since Best Buy had this disc on a nation-wide special last week, i'm thinking that the manufacturer probably cranked out TONS of discs as...

Asa: Your summary of the scientific / religious / emotional artifacts brought into this thread and others is quite interesting. Thanks for chiming in with your point of view. Sean>

Getting married, and I need to redo system.. ?'s..
Forget the "audiophile" thing and start discussing the money situation. Money is the root of most divorces, so figure out who is going to be responsible for what and then keep your finances separate. If you have joint expenses, then share those an...
