Take him first to the listening room at the Good Guys. Se what he likes and have them write out an estimate. Next, take him to no more than two high end shops and try to let the salesperson better the deal. Then, go back to the Good Guys and liste... 
The ideal listening room
My listening room could never be a vault. I like my music. but I won't create a room where it becomes so important that I would be almost afraid of inviting 'the others' into it at the risk of seeming....wierd.

At what level does analog beat digital?
Wow. I don't know if using dollars is a good way to compare the two. It kinda gets back to one's earlier years when a great...moment...happened. Some measure their moments by what they put into(paid for?) them...others by what they got from them. ...

It is a fitting end for such a monster. While I am happy they found him in a pit...it does seem appropriate....I still kinda wish they got him at an airport in Vienna. Then it would be off to Belgium and The World Court where many of the World's L...

Send music from computer to Receiver?

buzz/hum from tv
I suspect all will be okay and then when you hook-up the TV, the humm will return. Few of us have all that much good luck combining TV with stereo.Also, look to your television source, be it cable or Satellite. There is power coming into the syste... 
Stuck in a Rut
