pure ipod dock
I would recommend approaching this company with caution. I purchased a Pure dock and when it didn't fully live up to my expectations, I contacted them to return it. They have proven to be the absolute worst company to deal with in this respect. It... 
Your Favorite, Most Outstanding Guitar Solo
Mary Friedman - Scenes (the entire album) 
Tuner question
small world. I borrowed another tuner and tomorrow I'll be able to isolate if it is my antenna or receiver that is having the problem. 
why aspect ratio is changing?
Don't worry, that is intended. On the case it says:1080p high definition 16x9 variable 2.4:1 and 1.78:1 (imax sequences). 
PS Audio DL III DAC with Arcam DV78? Should I?
I moved from a DV78 to a DV29 a year ago and am very pleased with the improvement in both audio and video. You can probably find a DV137 or DV29 (or maybe even a DV139) for great prices. 
Motley Crue New Studio Album, Opinions?
Thanks for reminding me, I'm going to get it today...I am a big fan of Nikki's solo album (SIXX AM) 
Blue-ray player with good 2ch sound?
Panasonic's new Blu Ray player comes out in the next 30 days, either that or the current model will do the trick. I have the same objectives as you and am trying to figure out if I add a dedicated CD player or a DAC when I do get the Blu Ray machine. 
Shearwaters vs Kestrel Hotrods
I have never owned Meadowlarks but have always wanted a pair. I auditioned both Shearwaters and Kestrels twice and felt that the Kestrels had a smoother presentation and I prefered them. I don't recall which gear was driving them but my perception... 
What do you think is the best sounding metal album
Megadeth - United Abominations. In fact, most of the Megadeth remasters are very good. 
finalists in the big speaker search
If soundstage is your thing then I think you'll find that Audio Physics are excellent. I used Sparks for a bunch of years and they excelled in that area. I also have a Naim/Arcam combo, although I use a Nait5 with a DV29. Yetis, do you still have ... 
Report on Harbeths vs. Vandersteens
Eweedhome, you make a very good point about the consistent reports on Harbeths. That was one thing that got me interested and when I finally heard C7s, I found the reports to be correct. I own C7s and they are great, but let me just say that if yo... 
DVD CD player vs seperates
I consolidated a Rega Planet and a Pioneer DVD player into an Arcam DV-78 and have been very happy with the results. I can't speak to your specific player but the Arcam is a nice unit and there is plenty of info on the web about it. 
Symphony 5th - best recording
Sorry for the vague post, yes, I meant Bethoven's 5th. The program that he saw is Little Einsteins...it's about 4 little kids in a rocket that travel around the globe. At the beginning of each show they introduce the music that they will be hearin... 
Audio Physics ...Bright or forward?
For me, a speaker needs to be love at first listen. That is how it was with my AP Spark IIIs. I wouldn't necessarily call them bright, but they are indeed detailed speakers. I listen to a lot of rock and heavy metal and these speakers really are u... 
what' your favorite movie to show off your sys. w/
Either the scene in 'Spiderman 1' where he fights the Goblin in the building fire or the scene in 'Heat' where they rob the bank and have the shootout in the streets.
