Analog Guys: Why Kimber?
It has to do with the alignment of the sun and the planet earth in conjuction with the gravitational pull shared with the moon.The same reason so many people drive Fords and Chevrolets and Toyota's and Honda's- they're affordable reliable represen... 
ute-friendly speakers?
What exactly is a "Ute"? I can't make a recommendation per se, how ever if you love the magnepan sound, a member over at MUG found a way to suspend his MMG's up and out of the way(and he says they still sound good). I realize there's a big differe... 
Shunyata King Cobra V1 verses V2
The king cobra's aren't a great value any more, most actually agree that the new Python out performs any king cobra. Its also said that the python gives you about 85% of the performance of the Anaconda. So unless your getting them for next to noth... 
Help to repair CAT JL1 monoamp?
Ken Stevens may be a little odd but he is very much on top of things, I would give him a little more time to get a hold of you- after all it is a holiday weekend. Or I agree with the idea of getting in touch with a dealer.Jtinn is a dealer and too... 
I am considering the Piega C-8 Limited or the P10.
You know you must be right Snook2 its impossible to think that we could possibly have different tastes... What was I thinking?!?!?! 
Accuphase A50V with Sonus Faber Amati
I have spoke with a gentleman who had used this combo- he seemed to like it. In fact he had two A-50v's bridged mono and preffered the sound of just one. I believe his moniker here at audiogon is Mfboss try to contact him his name is Mark. 
Musical Fidelity Tri-Vista Owners Questions???
Ask anyone who works at Stereophile I am sure they would know :-p 
I am considering the Piega C-8 Limited or the P10.
The P-10 was a great speaker but its no longer in production. I don't think buying a speaker that isn't made any more will get you off the merry-go-round. Some people seem to love this speaker some do not- they complain about coherency and a shril... 
CD players with volume control ?????
Do a search this is with out a doubt the most asked question at the 'gon. FWIW I prefer units that use analog volume controls, accuphase and wadia employ a digital volume control which is less favorable for a number of reasons. 
What's your profession? Age?
Jtinn- So your the one who recently purchased my boxed set ;) I appreciate it! It really contained all of the greats in my career. 
Most "Non-Digital" Sounding CDP
Check my post from 3-19 ;) 
Considering Wadia 860
What are you looking to spend? There are a lot of other digital sources out there that DO NOT use digital volume control and offer a greater ease to the presentation of the music; i.e. a lot more musicality. Answering your question about SE vs Bal... 
Did I make a mistake with my Nautilus 805?
Audiobugged- I am not trying to preach or judge anyone I was just shocked by your first few suggestions of how to handle this situation. Had you just said at the end of your post "of course I was kidding" but I don't think you were kidding. I am s... 
Did I make a mistake with my Nautilus 805?
Anyone who is an owner/manager of a retail store of any sort will understand my remarks. That sort of activity costs everyone(mostly the consumer) a lot of money not to mention being completely dishonest and lacking any sort of moral value. At lea... 
Did I make a mistake with my Nautilus 805?
Or un-loosen all the screws, call B&W, tell them they came that way, & send them in for repair? That comment sort of makes me question your values as well. Comments like that post make me ashamed to be part of such a group of audiophiles.
