How important is HDMI?
My experience tells me that componet provides the exact same picture quality. The only advantage that I can see is that HDMI provides audio and video. If you are using component and have a digital cable or are running two L/R channels as audio you... 
Jeff Healey Rest In Peace
Well he will now be performing at the Road House in the sky. He is in good company. 
Herbie Hancock on the Grammys
Awesome performance 
audio research sells out good or bad ?
I guess the one yardstick that should be used here to measure the future of ARC is: What has happened at Sonus Faber since they were bought out. Are they now produced in China? I really don't think that the new owners won't try to fix what isn't b... 
How did we get into this crazy hobby?
Simply put MUSIC MUSIC MUSIC!! After that it is like any other passion, be it racing, you want the best car you can afford and tweek it as budget allows. With audio it just seems that we are forever chasing that dream of system that sounds as good...

Best LP cleaner fluid for fingerprints
I think the LeArtDuson (spell check) has been the best that I have used so far. 
Warner and Blu ray?
Looks like the DVD-HD format is a few steps closer to the grave. Warner was the only one that was supporting both.The local dealer tells me that they sell BR on a 20:1 against HD DVD.I am just waiting for Denon to release their player before I jump. 
McIntosh MT-10 Turntable -- thoughts/expectations
I spoke with a my dealer that saw it at CEDIA. He is a turntable specialist, in that he seems to know more about TT's than anyone I have met in all my years of this hobby.He had nothing good to say about it, which I take with a grain or two of sal... 
Report from Rocky Mountain AudioFest
Show got off to a good start found some good used LP's and got in some listening time. Although I didn't get to every room I hope to return Sunday. The system that I think was most impressive was the Audio Alternative room with the Vanderstein 5a'... 
Do true audiophiles own Mcintosh gear
Obviously McIntosh must be doing something right. They have been in business since 1949 and they seem to hold a pretty good resale value. I have had several pieces and can say I will probably buy more. I know that there is better out there at the ... 
How do YOU set VTF on your Rega arm??
I had the Michel on my P25 and it worked great. I had had the EZ Riser and changed it out and glad I did. 
is RMAF worth a trip
Just bought my ticket for the fourth year. I always come away with knowledge I didn't go there with. I don't know of any other show that you can see just about everything made. I would say yeah make the trip plan 4 days and spend one in the mounta... 
Do true audiophiles own Mcintosh gear
I think taking away the lights, meters and glass panels would cause Mc to lose some of it's attraction. But the quality and sound would remain. It's a package that sells and changing it could cause many to look elsewhere. 
Do true audiophiles own Mcintosh gear
I have owned a number of Mc peices for the past 12 or so years. I can't say I am an audiophile per se, but I do lovemusic. I love to hear it at it's best in reproduction for the limits of MY budget. I belive that my system sounds as goos as it can...
