Choice: Avantgarde Duo Omega or JBL K2 s9800
I have heard both speakers many times (though never in the same system - perhaps that disqualifies me). Both are excellent. They have different flavors. I agree with Triode in that when they are well set up, they don't have 'poorly integrated' bas... 
No phono input on Jadis but want to buy tunrtable
Mattzack, I am assuming you also need a cartridge to go with your TT. I would go for a Moving Magnet cartridge as it will eliminate the need for a pre-preamp.The phono stage will plug directly into an AUX input on your integrated. Personally, if y... 
You can't have too many apostrophe's
Commcat, I am not of the "if-you-make-one-mistake-then-the-paper-gets-a-failing-mark" school, but I am also not of the school which says that it's OK for those postgrads and PhDs to make common mistakes again and again when they are teaching my ch... 
You can't have too many apostrophe's
Weird. When it came out, it came out backwards, in caps (shouting), with an exclamation point at the end (beginning). Wonders never cease... 
You can't have too many apostrophe's
Doug,In MS Word, you wrote it backwards, and it looks like you used the greek alphabet to do so. I expect the Audiogon database did not recognize the input, so turned it into ASCII numbers with hexadecimal representation. BTW, you did not need to ... 
How did you discover audiogon?
I think I saw it through a reference to Audiogon on google when I was looking for information about speakers I was considering.

Albert, that reminds me of the premises created in the opening scenes of a great movie - Brazil. 
LP eccentricity, spindle hole center,The fix??????
Ken, what are you using as an arm on the 308? 
You can't have too many apostrophe's
Commcat, I now see where you are coming from. In that context, I don't disagree. And in that situation, it is indeed the lack of appropriate emphasis on or access to education which is not disappointing, but shocking. My point was that there is an... 
US only sales WHY???
Fpeel,I would agree with others that it comes down to what is agreed between buyer and seller. If the buyer wants to take that risk away from the seller, so be it. I have other issues with the practice but that's besides the point to the people wh...

Dasashiznit Ellery911!Rene, I have heard nothing but good things about that book. I am going to order it. 
You can't have too many apostrophe's
Paulfolbrecht, I am actually slightly pleased that we have yet to have someone posting who really means what I wrote. I too find it disappointing that standards of grammar usage are declining. What's worse for me, however, is that correct grammar ... 
You can't have too many apostrophe's
Paulfolbrecht, OK. So you are obviously better educated then the rest of us', and you're pointing out the apostrophe abuse only show's that your self-important. Your like those hedge fund's who tryed to bring down Crysler - alway's concerned about... 
Animated Movies
Elizabeth, great call on Tekkonkinkreeto (which for you non-Japanese speakers is a play on 'tekkin konkreeto' which is the pronunciation for "steel-reinforced concrete" in Japanese). I think the movie is masterly. I agree with above posters that t... 
Cars. What does the typical audiophile drive?
Such wisdom at such a young age...
