Using Y-adapter to duplicate preamplifier outputs
Audioquest will also make up a y cable. Two lengths of IC, joined at one end to a common RCA and of course 2 RCAs at the other ends. . 
Question about Denon 2900 vs. 3910
The 3910 has digital video outs; the 2900 does not. I am sure there are other diffs. 
is it an upgrade or just fun?
Good question, Joe. I know for me, I enjoy trying different stuff out and I do not get too analytical about it. If there is a consensus that a certain piece may be a good fit with what I have, Audiogon makes it relatively easy and affordable to tr... 
About Lugnut -- Patrick Malone
Oh man, Pat. 2nd and 3rd sentence got me thinking that this would be one of those feel good pieces about the hard-working doc bringing some good news. Sweet dream, but a dream nonetheless. At least for now. I know you have developed a good relatio... 
About Lugnut -- Patrick Malone
Patrick- Good luck, my man. All of your friends and acquaintances here are thinking of you. Loony has said it all, but just one thought. If its time to put your ownf and your family's needs first, then that's what you should do. Even though most o... 
Where can one get obsolete Teac open reel parts?
Try ebay. 
How do I go backwards?
JD- I think that you should seriously consider a quality integrated (save cabling $), and an older but high quality digital front end. Very steep discount on older digital products. Another possibility would be a CDP w/a volume control and a power... 
Paradigm Studio v2 VS. Vandersteen 2Ce Signature ?
VERY different souding speakers. Much less forward, but IMO, more tonally balanced. Paradigms image great but, IMO are not nearly as musical as the Vandys. 
Shipping to out of USA - what's involved?
There is not much "hassle" on your end. With Fedex and UPS there is an additional form in which you have to state contents and value (for tarrif/tax purposes to receiver, not shipper). I've not had any problems with sales (and purchases) to (from)... 
Center channel question?
Chad- I believe that you are correct. Anything below that would be sent to the LFE channel (and the mains if you have selected "large" for speaker size. 
TriPlanar Tips
LOL. You guys crack me up. 
Panny plasma Vs Comcast HDTV, HELP
Try avsforum.com. But ask them to tone it down; those guys make us 'files look like "joe-bag-o-donut". 
Best int. amp for AKG K1000's-Cary, Manley, Creek?
I used a Cary 2A3i and currently own an Aspen Audio 833 and an Audiovalve RKV. If your taste runs toward rock or funk or R&B, go with the Audiovalve. If more classical/jazz/acoustic, go Cary. For compact size and low heat output, Audiovalve. F... 
mother passed away - pro recording help needed
Dennis- I am sorry for your loss. I am fortunate to have both of my parents still alive at 80 but my wife lost her father suddenly many years ago (also at 62). Her grief was overwhelming for some time, but you may be comforted by the fact that it ... 
Please recommend components for newbie with $1K
Used Vandersteen 2ci and Audio Refinement Complete would come in right around $1K and give a real taste of the high end. Not really heavy metal rockers, but perfect for blues, folk, bluegrass and most of the rockers you have listed are not hard-co...
