Earliest "MOST WANTED" gear
As a teen I had what would was probably the best system amongst my friends: Harman Kardon 330A receiver, BIC turntable and Tech Hifi store brand speakers. A few years later, when I was out on my own I remember salivating over the Large Advent loud...

Google is your friend for this one. Check audiokarma.net for several threads concerning AU-717 protect mode issues. 
Should I finish my basement
Brf brings up another valid point. Years ago I had my system in a semi-finished basement. The sound was never my issue. But the ugly walls and ceiling drove me nuts. If you're sure that won't bother you, then just get the sound right and enjoy. 
good diy preamp
+1 for Mingles recommendation. 
Speaker Cable for Meadowlark Kestrel 2
Do you agree that the Kestrel 2's leave you in no doubt of whats going on upstream?SchubertI never really thought about the Kestrel 2s in that vein, but now that you mention it. I took a look at the pic I linked above and noted it was shortly afte... 
Speaker Cable for Meadowlark Kestrel 2
Those Kestrel 2s are definitely lookers. Hard to imagine cables more different than the DNM Reson and the Analysis Plus Oval 12. I preferred solid core cables with my Kestrel 2s. It won't help much as they are no longer in production but Music Met...

Review Stillpoints Ultra SS speakers/subwoofers
I see in the pics you have them on hardwood floors. How do you think they would do on carpet? 
perfect placement for your speakers
Your link did not work for me.My question is just how far apart are the speakers? Have you tried closing the distance maybe 6 inches at a time? 
Law of Accelerating Returns
Where have I seen the biggest difference in sound at this point? The pressings.WhartWhart nailed it. And if you take a look at his system, it makes even more sense. 
Learning from him
sGood thing Audiogon has a front page popup introducing us to their better, safer system. I know I feel much safer with a credit card on file despite the fact that they can't keep spam off their forum. ;)KgturnerHaha! I love a good laugh in the mo... 
I just picked up a classic Sansui G-9000 stereo.
Get a good step-down transformer.PtssWouldn't that be a step-up transformer?If you're lucky, there may be a voltage selector switch on the back panel. If not, you might remove the cover and look inside for a voltage selector switch. 
Resolution Audio- great customer service
I talked to Steve just a couple days ago concerning my RA Opus 21. He was extremely helpful. I have a long history with Resolution Audio which has always been positive. Here's a quote from a thread I posted in back on 06: "A few months ago I purch...
