Open-Minded or Gullible?
I draw the line at the 1/4" by 1" bits of aluminum foil affixed to records, tapes, CDs, electronics, whatever. What a bunch of @#$%& 
Input impedence for Llano Trinity 300?
Thanks behnegar. 
Looking for 42in Plasma TV Please help
I've been looking at plasmas due to space limitations, but I have to admit that the RP HDTVs I saw yesterday knocked me out. And cost at best buy for a 50-60" 16:9 was about $2200-2400.00! So if you have the room, Pmkalby is on the money. 
Difference between polarity and phase w/sub
Polarity refers to your speaker connections. + to + and - to - is normal. Phase refers to the inward or outward movement of the diaphragm of the speaker in relationship to the speaker producing the original waveform. For a variety of technical rea... 
Aerial 10 T Owners Need Advice
Any thoughts on the 10T compared to VAndersteen 3Asigs? 
Requiescat in pace, that's all she wrote.
If you missed the VH-1 documentary on the making of his recently released albumn, keep your eyes out for it, it adds a tremendous emotional impact to the record itself. You can hear the breathiness in his voice from the cancer (on the record) but ...

Just a regular guy with questions
TT leads may not HAVE to be specific for phono, but with the very low level signals involved (esp. w/mc cart), using phono leads is recommended. Many tone arms come with a one piece lead from cart to RCA plugs, in part for this reason. 
Mosfet amps A true compromise betw. tubes and SS?
Think I will jump in with a thought on the Llano Trinity. I'm using mine with a BAT VK3i amp and Vandy 3ASigs. I have tried various tubes in the 12A?7 series and typically found the 12AT7s and AX7s to be a little forward in the upper vocal registe... 
alon II or Vandersteen 2ce how do they compare?
I've never heard the alons, but Chris and Bob are right on with respect to the Vandies. And you can always hear the impact of an upstream upgrade. 
Using one pair two sets of wires for each channel
Electrically, there will be no problem. Sonically, you will have to decide. 
HELP with speaker selection.
With a slight strech, you can get Vandersteen 3Asigs, which have been reported to mate well with your amp. 
help me get into gospel
Lots of great bluegrass style gospel out there. Try the Cox Family w/Allison Kraus. Cant remember the CD title. 
McCormack DNA-1 vs. B&K ST202 or 2140
Sean can tell you the technical details, but there is no question in my mind that the McCormack is the better sounding amp. 
DVD player used as a CD player good/bad
All good comments above. Receiver DAC is likely, but not always, inferior to player DAC. Bottom line is that not all DVD players make good CD players, but some are excellent. If you don't need progressive scan, then the older Sony DVPS-7000 series...
