Is "Paypal "in legal trouble?
Well if they are in trouble they have enough funds to cover a LOT of legal fees(you know those lawyers are brutal ;) it seems rediculious what they get to do transactions sometimes- such is life!! ~Tim 
Any problems using biwire cbls on single post Spkr
I am sure it is will work, but it is less then perfect, why not just get the cables that are best suited for your system? ~Tim 
New vs Used CD Player
I wouldn't consider the Shanling in your price range, yes it looks neat but its sonics are claimed to be less then the Cary units- Talk to Bwhite about this he has all the details. I think if you want to run direct(from cdp to amp) then its a no b... 
Bryston B14 ST or BAT VK-500???
Out of those two choices I would prefer the BAT slightly more musical and nautral(ie closer to tube sound the Bryston) though you are loosing one amazing waranty with the BAT- in comparison to Bryston. Also worth looking into would be a more recen... 
Diana Krall - What is your favorite CD of hers?
Favorite-When I look in your eyes, perfect for setting the "mood" and great sonics to boot!Least favorite- The look of love, the best part of this disc is the cover art!! just not my thing and I don't think it does her catalog justice-IMO.~Tim 
What happened to Jonathan Scull?
Bamafan- That's funny I heard he went to Bose, I guess my source could be wrong- I dunno?? He gets canned more then Tuna!! lol couldn't resist. 
Tube amp in a hot weather: Does it require a fan?
uhhhhhhh????????? He's still alive in here folks!! In my experience I have found that with a front LCD projector going and a tube amp; central air is enough to maintain livable conditions. When it is just the amp temperature maintains with out a h... 
reasonably priced progressive scan dvd/cd player
I third the 9000es for the money it can not be beat. ~Tim 
Clash of the Titans
Albert- Your a friend so I'll tell you the way it is, all that stuff is junk. Get yourself some bose 901's and enjoy the music ;) Besides its not like you could hear the differences in that horrible room of yours :) ~Tim 
Which SS preamps will compete w/ tubes?
Well put Jond, I agree completely, it seems confusing now but it will be great sound when its in your home. I was skeptical about tubes at first and now I won't ever go back, I have never really experimented with tubes, just when they need replace... 
Amp recommendations for Merlin VSM / TSM
I am not a Merlin owner, I just enjoy hearing them at shows, etc.. I have heard them with the CAT JL2 which was great sound and a few Joule Electra OTL amps, some like Atma-sphere as well. So to my ears, tubes rule and OTL's are even better for Me... 
Anyone update your BAT VK60 to SE status?
Interesting subject, I was always planning on unloading my VK-60 and upgrading to a 75se just because I didn't think it would be worth it. But then again for $2500 you get new boards and tubes, and a much different sounding amp. I figured to get a... 
Anyone have their Audio Aero Capitole MKII yet?
Gerry-You have good company for the waiting game, which MANY of us are still playing. But you already know my contentions on that situation, may not be appropriate here ;) ~Tim 
Audio Magic Stealth it is
Warren-Thanks for the reco. I was thinking either or the hydra or Powerplant and couldn't make my mind up. For the price of these little guys its worth the risk, funny plugging PC's into a line conditioner that cost more then the conditioner itsel... 
Got Hip?
Mes-Like most Tragically Hip music, my play time for them is usually in the car, dunno why- just seems like good driving music. Currently have Road Apples in the changer, I wasn't aware they had a new one, I'll have to check it out. I must admit t...
