Novice Bi-wire confusion
I agree with Telja idea; I am think of doing it myself with my den/home office system. It really depends on what speakers and what system we are talking about. If you have a pair of say B&W CDM Series with equivalent electronics, and your budg... 
Budget system recommendations
If you are interested in the Cambridge CD Players the best deal on-line is at Northampton Audio / Spearit Sound (just add .com to either name, no spaces). Free shipping. The D300SE is $289 and the D500SE is $389. These are new. I highly recommend ... 
Is there no end?
Nordost Interconnects tend to be warm and forward. 
Help on integrated amp?
Also listen to the Audio Refinement Complete (made by YBA). 
Where to buy parts??
Go to WWW.MOUSER.COM for Mouser Electronics. Large selection of you name it. 
LP playback is lacking - any ideas?
Are you using power conditioning? Dirty power can muddy sound. 
Budget system recommendations
For a $1200 budget get an integrated amp, not separates. Cambridge Audio A3i (or A500) Integrated Amp, Cambridge Audio D500 CD Player, B&W DM602 Speakers. Actually this could be done for under $1000, plus you need to spend $200 to $300 or so f... 
Separate Components
Let's see. For a brand new Preamp cheap, the best deal is the Cambridge Audio C500 $259. For $59 more you can add a decent phono stage to it. I would pair it with a better amp than Cambridge's P500. The rest you could go with used.(?) A Conrad Joh... 
Best Tuner under 500?
Yes, the law was changed because of lobbying from the Satellite TV companies and others. I suppose the HOA could still object if your antenna is too large. 
Novice Bi-wire confusion
Using a single wire and jumpers is not Bi-Wiring. For BiWiring the wires are separate all the way from the amp to the speaker posts. For the most part whether you buy BiWire cables or two pairs of single wires it does not matter much. Some integra...

Good bang for the buck to drive the mains for music is a Bryston 3BST. Lots in great shape available used. 
LP playback is lacking - any ideas?
Not familiar with that specific model, but can you put on better interconnect cables?? 
I am stunned
Thanks, I accomplished something for once. My point on voices is meant to be absurd. All of our voices are produced by exact same material; the same human flesh. But they all sound different. So why is it absurd to some that some of us think cable... 
I am stunned
If you don't mind a double run instead of Bi-Wire cables, I guess you could buy the better single cable and save up for a second pair later to double run. But, then some find a difference between double runs and Bi-Wire cables, which makes this ho... 
I am stunned
Chstob: I am just commenting on the controversy of all cables with the same specs should all sound the same, and those who hear a difference are just imagining they are. Same controversy with Digital Cables. It is just 1's and 0's going to a compu...
