| Newbies Biamp question. I've got to give all of you folks credit. We've got a great bunch of folks here who REALLY try hard to do their best ( and i like that ). Kudo's to all that "give a damn" and do what they can to help folks out. I'd like to add some comments to tho... | |

| The Lengths You ve Gone Through Lross, thanks for the laugh : ) We can always use a bit of levity at this joint, especially when we are talking about how obsessive we get about this hobby. Sean> | |
| Impulsive audio purchase Ghostrider is right on. A good deal comes along on something that i was interested in and WHAM, i'll take it. A perfect case in point: I have a Marantz Model 8 that i bought in the middle of last year. It's still sitting, collecting dust.As to Sar... | |
| Silver vs. Copper, Effect of length My experience ( so far ) tells me that you are better off with longer speaker cables and shorter interconnects. Besides my listening tests, there are also many technical reasons why this might work better. I don't know if you re-arranged your syst... | |
| Buying a used Pre-amp...Advice needed Not to belittle any of those that have already responded, but you will continue to get "generic" suggestions until you specify what features and sonics that your looking for. There are obviously different types of preamps available i.e. solid stat... | |

| SACD Dominates Recommended List I know more than a few people who have owned SACD players and ended up selling them. They did this after they raved about them and tried to get everyone else to buy one. As for me, i'll wait it out until they have a disc or two that i'd like to ow... | |
