2 channel system, would a sub be friend or foe?
Thank you all for your input, my friend who was telling me I needed a sub brought his REL strata III up with him and we got to listening and he agreed I didn't need a sub- in fact we just got into the music so much we agreed we didn't want to wast... 
1 million dollar speaker made by Kharma
Well I hate to bring some reality into this thread BUT, there are only one pair of these in the world at this time- they are in Switzerland in a cave below the owners home- a 30'x60'x25' room/cave. I am told that these are incredible I have not ho... 
Best upgrade ever: cryo outlet for my refrigerator
I'll chime in on the cryoed outlet band wagon, with out a doubt the best dollar:performance ratio on an upgrade. At $240 retail it helped more then a little and wish I did it along time ago(I bought the jena labs outlets, others can be had for MUC... 
Opinions Bat VK500, Mccormack DNA 2, Levinson amps
I love my BAT VK-500 how ever I have panels and not point source drivers and have never heard it on a convential point source speaker. I find the levinson's to be unenvolving, and I hear nothing but great things from McCormack owners, if they will... 
Warm, Deep Stage, S.S Dual Mono Amps ?
Hey Pat! From what I know I don't think the older Rowland amps are dual mono's- for that matter I am not sure if the last series(model 8) was even a dual mono. I do think the gamut would work well with your speakers, you should also consider some ... 
Ready to Throw my Wadia 6i out the window. HELP
To me it sounds like you described a used audio aero capitole MKI or if your really lucky MKII. It does everything you want it to, and sounds- to me- leaps and bounds better then the wadia. You should consider the accuphase DP-75v as well, though ... 
Best of the Best Ofs
Tina Turner "simply the best"; Sade "Diamond Life"; The best of Ken Burns Jazz series; Madonna "The immaculate collection"; Elton John DCC gold and The Cars DCC gold are among a few of my favorite best of's. 
Quietest amplifier you have ever owned.
BAT-VK500 dead quiet, I can have me ears right in front(or behind) the panel and hear nothing, the most dead silent amp I have ever heard. 
Who is the Youngest Audiogoner??
Nguyennnd- Thank you very much for your very kind words. The story that is my life is very complicated and I simply could not put it all into one post but the short story is.... I graduated from high school when I was 16 and had a family emergency... 
It must be love, she got me a ??? for Christmas
One of my gf's got me a lump of coal to power the whole deal, I don't think she understands :) 
Who is the Youngest Audiogoner??
I am 21 and was 18-19 when I started posting here, the years do seem to fly and it doesn't appear to slow down! There are a bunch of us tar magots who posted all of our systems on the virtual system with in the same week- it was kind of cool to se...

Virtually lost, a minimalist cries out for "help."
Jayme- This may raise some conflict but these are my thoughts on the difference between accuphase and audio aero capitole mkII- The accuphase is the best sounding digital out there, it will not dissapoint and it will always be easy on the eyes. Th... 
Virtually lost, a minimalist cries out for "help."
Chuck- that's very interesting I tried a capitole MkI direct and through a cj art series I and it sounded VERY veiled through the art and much more resolving running direct, I suppose everyone has different synergy in there system. Moral of the st... 
Virtually lost, a minimalist cries out for "help."
I must agree with Linkster, as a previous owner of a DC-300 I also experienced none of this bit dropping others have complained about. The audio aero and accuphase sound night and day different how ever and you should listen to both. My only conce...
