Which integrated amp would you pick?
I know you directed this at georgelofi, but I had to chime in.  No one is advertising Parasound, just stating facts and opinions.  Just because you do not care for them does not mean they aren't any good..  Yes, there are a lot of integrateds, but... 
Speaker cable lengths doe it matter they are not equal???
I am running 2 different lengths of the same cable in my secondary system and I notice no difference from before I shortened one of the cables, to before they were shortened.  I have a 23 foot cable and an 8 foot cable.  No difference in sound. 
Which integrated amp would you pick?
Like yourself, I use my second system the most.  I am running a Parasound Halo Integrated, Golden Ear Triton 2 speakers, Sony HAPZ1ES Media Server, Cambridge Audio CXC CD Transport (for those round shiny silver things), a Magnum Dynalab MD90 Tuner... 
Goodbye paypal!
I have done 93 transactions here since 2008 and all involved PayPal.  I never, ever had a problem and they even alerted me to a scam by someone who was purchasing something from me.  I even have my personal checking linked to my PayPal debit card ... 
Audible Illusions M3B or L3
You should have spoken with GC Audio in Texas.  He probably had one in stock to sell.  It is definitely well worth the wait but at this point, I would demand my money back.  I posted a "want to buy" here and scored a 6 month old M3B in silver.  I ...

New Sony Firmware For HAPZ1ES Player
As far as I know, no it can't download Hi-Rez files off the net.  You must download to main computer and then transfer to the Sony via the wired or wireless Ethernet. 
Need to lay a portion of my high-end speakers cable under the floor ...
My  22 foot long speaker cables are under the floor and my system sounds just wonderful.  I have never had issues with any kind of noise.  Why go through the trouble of running a conduit?  Just lay em between the rafters and be done with it..  Jus...

Confused: Should I Upgrade Cables or Amp first?
Stuartk:  I have a Parasound Halo Integrated in my secondary system with Audio Art SC-5 speaker cables.  They are connected to Golden Ear Triton 2 speakers.  I listen to this system 90% of the time because it is in my home office.  It's a great ma... 
Speakers for Rock - up to 1kusd
Add a pair of Golden Ear Tritons to your mix.  They work well with everything and the powered woofers are great for rock.  I have a pair of Triton 1 in my main system and Triton 2 in my secondary system.  I listen to 96% rock and they are excellen... 
Confused: Should I Upgrade Cables or Amp first?
I have 22 foot runs of Groneberg Quattro Reference speaker cables that go under the floor in my main rig.  I have never experienced any problems with the sound in the 10 years they have been in the system.  I spoke to the cable manufacturer and wa...
