| What's an Audiophool to do? After checking your system, have you considered the Bel Canto S-300 or the Ref 1000? You could get into these used and if they didn't do it for you, get out with little risk. | |
| Best Integrated Amplifier Made at the USA As the question states "for you," I will only chose from integrated amps I have owned. Bel Canto evo2i is at the top of my list. And I too have owned some good ones. The Bel Canto gets it right, as Dfrigovt said. | |

| Linn Classik, w/ two LK 140's - Active ? You should be able to use the pass thru on the LK-140. I'm pretty sure the pass thru isn't affected by the active card. You'll know when you listen. | |
| Hooverphonic anyone? If you want some good 3D sound listen to Laurie Anderson's "Life On A String." Beautiful music with wonderfully layered sound. Oh yeah, can't forget to recommend Sufjan Stevens, "Come On Feel The Illinoise." | |

| Dylan & Starbucks anyone? Dylan does not appear on the cd. It is a collection of what he listens to. Actually, I had a hard time getting through it the whole way. That's not unusual for a first time listen. Some of my favorite music is music that was difficult to listen to... | |

| Hooverphonic anyone? I have "The Magnificent Trees." It's the only one I own by them. Where does it fit in the lineup? Honestly, I've only listened to it twice so don't have much of an opinion. | |
