Where R U?????
I feel kinda dumb with this, it is like an audiophile personal ad, I have no local friends!! Searching for a SWF 18-35 must have seperates and any krell need not respond! But in all seriousness I would like to meet some more local audiophiles, and... 
OPINIONS Best FULL RANGE used speaker for SS
Planer speaker-Magnepan 1.6R or 3.5R usedDynamic speaker- Diva by Swans the best you can afford new the 6.1?? I think. Used perhaps a Spendor or something similar to. I have never been a fan of B&W though plenty of folks do like them, listen f... 
Skinny speakers and wretched excess
Avalon Acoustic Symbols, would be perfect for what your looking to do, finding them used may be a problem though, I have only seen 2 sets for sale used(in your price range at least). Cheers!Tim 
Tool to create professional IEC chassis cut-out...
Be very careful, I added IEC sockets on a pair of monoblocks I had, well they’re in there but a little unsightly. That being said I would recommend having it professionally done if at all possible, my screw up has inhibited the sale of my amps(for... 
Your Best Hobbies (other than Audio)
Well I enjoy cars(new), fun to drive/fast cars, currently have a 2001 VW GTI VR6 though not the fastest thing on the road, it holds its own(in particular for the money, super cheap!) and is built fairly well. I completely enjoy chasing women aroun... 
Are you Guys Rich or What!?
Well Buckingham my name is Tim and I would like if you would site me as a reference when using my quote.....J/K. What's up nice to hear from another younger audiophile(I am 20). I agree with planning/personal development(I invest about 5:1 what I ...

comparison of 508.24 VS.accuphase65,75,and emc-II
I have a Digital only system(for now any way!), and recently went through what you are, The accuphase DP-75v is a great player, the 65/65v/75 are not in the same league, not by any means. The electro is a super player for the money, if you are not... 
Need Detail/ Resolution with Impact and Weak Bass
The merlin is a super speaker, though may have too much bass if you are looking for a weak bass speaker it may not be for you. Though you could try NOT using the BAM(Bass Augmentation Module) and it may give you exactly what you are looking for, B... 
Subwoofer Cables
I have some special subwoofer cable that works very well, I don't have much and I can't get more! It is not flexible at all and a pain to use(very rigid), similar to romex-though much higher quality. It has 4 wires inside its sheath, which has a f... 
Rap music on high-end speakers
Tru- Sorry if I came across as offensive, I thought you were kidding. If you want highs in your eyes and bass in your face, go for some Klipsch speakers, and use your sub, that would give you the sound you are looking for-I think?? And the only re... 
Rap music on high-end speakers
Do you actually sit there and critically listen to rap music, for its "sonic charachter" or "musical content" if that is the case you should get your head examined, sure listen to what ever you want(I have a few Rap CD's). But listen to that stuff... 
Tube Pre into HT system?
I believe the some of the BAT tube pre's have a pass thru option, which allows you to use the BAT for stereo and your pre/processor for 5.1(or what ever you may be using). I also believe there are a few other's that allow the same use, though I am... 
Best MTV Unplugged?
Tony Bennett, I listen to that disc at least once a week, and now can watch it too on DVD. 
breaking in a dac
Geez you got it already! Why jury-rig anything? stay home and listen all day long, after a few days, perhaps you will notice a little improvement-if not then stay a few more days!
