Any luck, any one??????? You know Jtinn after my pathetic efforts on New years eve I may be tempted to drive across the country for an audio loving gal, keep me posted ;) Well not yet but I would like to keep the possibility open! 
What's the Sonic Character of Accuphase Amps?
That's funny you mention that, I called an accuphase dealer and was asking about pre amps and I mentioned Lamm and he sort of trailed off mumbling in an undistinguishable language. Wasn’t sure what he meant but it was pretty funny, I figured it wo... 
speaker size/weight vs. power/performance
You could get a whole mess of Gallo nucleas micros, small and would work any where. I second the B&W 805's a super speaker for the money. For the record that was sarcasm in my first response, not that there is anything wrong with gallo's just ... 
Cryogenically treated cables
I had an opportunity to listen to a complete Jena Labs wired system(right down to the cryo treated hubble outlets) it was nice, not broke in yet so I am expecting the rough edges to smooth out. I am interested in how it is going to sound in a few ... 
DVD players with balanced audio outputs?
Don- I am actually using one of those abortion cables(RCA on one end and XLR on the other-though I am planning big time cable upgrades come spring) with OK results, not great though. I am going to audition everything I can get my claws on soon, an... 
DVD players with balanced audio outputs?
I was unaware that there were BAT, Wadia, Levinson, and Krell DVD players, I'll have to look into them. All kidding aside I think there is one out there, I am not sure who makes it but I recall looking for one myself a while back, I decided the be... 
Looking To Buy Wide Screen TV
yes I think I have heard that some place too, about flat being "inaccurate". Prior to the Wega was the Trinitron TV's which use similar design as Craigs Loewe, they use a cylindrical tube section instead of a round tube section, thus creating the ... 
Audio tip for aging male audiophiles
LOL, I hope you guys can appreciate why this muses me. One day, I'll have to remember this one! I just got off of Flinestone chewables, I have a few more years! 
speaker match with rogue audio
Merlin speakers would do good in that system, I was able to talk to Bobby from merlin for a long time one evening and we got talking about building a "budget system" and he said his speakers with Rogue is pretty amazing for the money. For a CD pla... 
Looking To Buy Wide Screen TV
I actually have a "pet" chunk of Anthracite coal which I like a lot, a great conversation starter. But I could always use another or perhaps a chunk of bituminous coal would be nice, I collect that sort of stuff! FWIW it is hard to locate Bitumino... 
Looking To Buy Wide Screen TV
To heck with the front projector, I just had an opportunity to spend some time with a Loewe Aconda, if I could go back I would consider getting one of them. Though not near the size of the front projector it was amazing, but then you have to deal ... 
Sony DVP S9000 ES vs. Sony DVP NS900V
I am doing exactly what you are doing, using the 9000es for 2 channel SACD and as a transport for everything else. I enjoy the unit a lot and am not sure if I will upgrade it any time soon. Though I am unable to compare it to the NS900V, seeing as... 
What to see at the CES show?
Halcro, I have never seen or heard them and would knock my brother out for the chance to. Isn't brotherly love something else. I would also pay attention to Avalon Acoustics multi channel set-up and everything Rockport. But as said for 3 years in ... 
Best thread poster for 2001?
Gosh that's a tough one, I agree with everyone listed so far and would also add Jtinn, Bob_Budnus, Angela100, Redkiwi(who has not been here much as of late) who are all super helpful. I could not narrow it down to less then 12 super individules wh...
