What's the oldest piece of gear in your system?
My '65 Klipschorns 
Overpowering Speakers
Tim - Not sure I've ever heard things explained quite like you did there, but if it makes sense to you and Audio381 I guess that'll work.Audio8381 - If you have a 300w amp, you're not sending 300 watts to the speakers unless you turn the volume up... 
Anyone got and album database for iPhone?
Learsfool - No, I did not use bar codes.You can scan bar codes, enter each title individually, put the CD into the drive and let MC read it, or import a list (as I did from Excel).Scanning or putting the CD into the drive should automatically impo... 
Did you hear that ALBUM?
I agree with Rcrerar. They even call them albums in iTunes.

The Hub: Just how bad is it in high end audio?
"09-09-10: PapermillFolks,I remain convinced, that if a person is given a choice, the will gravitate to quality, high end sound."I disagree. IMO, most people will gravitate to brands they know, ease of use, flashy bells and whistles every time. So... 
Decware - any substance here?
I built the Decware single ended amp kit (EL84s, ~ $350). I also built an Elekit SE kit (~$600) that uses 6L6s and a scratch build 2A3 single ended amp (~$800). The quality pretty much goes exactly as the cost goes, in my system to my ears. I will...

My CDP died recently and I compared 3 units - Primare CD21, Rega Apollo, Music Hall CD25.2The Primare was not a good match in my system. I actually owned it for a couple of years and it was fine, but when I changed my system and started looking at... 
Audiophile Addiction
My system is in my man cave for me to enjoy, and for anyone else who cares to listen. There's nothing wrong with me having a place to veg and get away from the world, and yes, even get away from my family once in a while. And since most of my list...

Adcom Vs Rotel
If I were in your situation (i.e.: couldn't afford what I really wanted or what any of the above posters suggested) I would probably keep my eye on a budget line like you mentioned. Rotel, Adcom, NAD, Parasound, etc. I would take my time and do my... 
Jolida 520a - What tubes go where?
Yes, Jolida are very helpful.Can you tell by the picture on the Jolida website? 
Why is 2 Channel better than multi-channel?
"08-10-10: Kr4No. I am acknowledging that decent MCH will take up more space and cost more than decent stereo. I was also saying that prejudice was the only other reason I can see. ;-)Kal"I guess I don't follow how MCH is better. If you compare 2 ...
