I am stunned
I agree many people look too much at the specs. Lets take that logic in a differenct direction. Now take the human voice. It also produces sound by way of vibrating vocal cords. Your typical decent tenor who sings as the cantor at your favorite pl... 
Weird Thing after I lift my ground.
I guess I agree also. There are a couple digital power conditioners on the market that include a ground tester with the unit, because the conditioner won't work if the ground is not OK. 
Best Tuner under 500?
PS: The Onkyo Integra T4017 and T4087 have a variable output knob (volume), so I guess you could skip the preamp and run it right to the power amp like many do with their CD Players. 
Best Tuner under 500?
For solid state and digital tuning, if you look around you will be able to find a mid 1980's Onkyo Integra Tuner models T4015 & T4017. These two have unbelieveably good reception and sound. They can be had for $50 usually. More money, but with... 
Bob Dylan, have an opinion?
I love his simple poetic works with maybe just guitar. What I own is all on LP.Actually, regarding the mentioned Andrea Bocelli. I can imagine singing like Andrea Bocelli. Notice that he always sings miked. Can you say KARAOKE ?? 
Best Repair center for Pioneer LD player
You must be in Southern Virginia? I like a place in Baltimore if you are in Northern Virginia. Repost if North and I will look it up. (Can't remember name). 
Phase Inversion on CJ equipment
On Phase inverted Compact Disks, I've read that reversing the speaker wires won't help you. Something else in the signal path needs to be changed. The Rotel RCD-990 CD player has a phase inverting switch on the remote. I've also read that phase in... 
Phase Inversion on CJ equipment
Hang on; some CJ preamps do not require you to invert the phase to have your system be "phase correct". On my CJ (solid state) preamp, only the moving coil phono stage is inverted, which can be corrected by reversing the wires on the tonearm going... 
Vote for the best center speaker here
Oh, I have a totally different system for music. I don't like to compromise there. 
Vote for the best center speaker here
No center? I want one for HT, but not music. If you want one, the best for the money spent is also the cheapest; the B&W CC-3 ($180 list). Sounds a lot better than their CC-6 ($350). You would have to spend at least $550 for the CDM center to ... 
Shipping amps upside down?
I get a laugh (cry) everytime I visit my local FedEx Truck Depot to drop off a package. In the lobby there is a photo of one of their large sorting centers, probably the national hub in Memphis. I guess it's there as a way to show off their operat... 
DVD Audio vs SACD?
Who can tell, but DVD-A could still win out in the end. There millions of DVD players being sold and millions more will be sold in the next year or two. Most of these are 24bit/96mhz. As with all things electronic, DVD-A technology will be standar... 
Best speakers for classical music 2k ?
In London or anywhere in the UK, go to Richer Sounds. They have several locations in London alone. The owner Julian Richer is a major player in Cambridge Audio. The Cambridge Audio D500SE is a very nice CD player for classical, and is cheaper Rich... 
Zu Cable Julian-vs-DH Labs Q-10
The Julian is a brand new product. You will have trouble finding someone with a pair let a lone compare it with the Q-10. I picked up a pair of Julian. Have not tried them yet. 
best interconnect for less than 100???
If you want something more well known, the Nordost Solar Wind is a nice cable, used under $100 or about $110 or so new.
