How much money do you want to waste?
Ok no more talk about philosophy. Fun while it lasted. But like all good things, it must come to an end. Why? Who knows. Just to answer some of your questions, Anton something, father of surrealism, coined the word surrealism, meaning super real, ...

1. rationalism isn't the intermediary step between objectivism and subjectivism. It is the root of both. Without rationalism, where are objective and subjective notions from?2. I have no idea what points you are making, and I read your post atleas... 
B&W Nautilus 803's versus 804's and 802's
I agree with BM. Get the 805 and a good sub. the 805 has more detail with a good sub, and it will have more bottom end as well comparing to 804 and 803. Only the 802 is better than the 805 in terms of higher resolution beyond the mid-bass range.Th... 
How much money do you want to waste?
Wow, really interesting we can try to pull Kant into the picture of audiophilia. This sort of begs the question of whether the enjoyment of music via hi-fi is a physical or metaphysical one: i think most true audiophiles such as yourself will agre... 
How much money do you want to waste?
Yes, it goes without saying that nothing can recreate "experience", and, as Zen would explain, any attempts to reconstruct retrospective phenomenon is further from reality: I think audiophiles have often experienced a temporal sense of accomplishm...

hmmm... the argurment I previously posted wasn't mine. It's Asa's arguement in simplified form.I never really attempted to reduce human technology from a linear progressism to a circular attachment. I rather think the two goes hand in hand. On the... 
Cheap tweaks...What would YOU reccomend?
I've done two cheap tweaks that dramatically improved my system lately.1) elevating my amp by placing a phone book beneath it. -There is a night and day difference in bass extension. The bass is flat before the presence of the phone book. After, t...

My experience with using a DVD as a transport
Hey Elizabeth, I had the exact same experience you did when I used the dvda10 as a cd player and not just as a transport. 
Need help with cable mess
Hey Gunbei, You've been quite helpful in aswering my queries in the past, so I will try my best to pay you back the favor.First of all, to answer your first question, I think it is best if the cables used throughout the system are homogenous, and,... 
Best Used Integated 1400 for B&W CDM1NT's
I owned a pair of CDM1s when they first came out. Instead of telling you what to do, I will tell you what not to do. I auditioned these speakers at a store that used Harman Kardon electronics. To me, they sounded more natural and musically truthfu... 
Anybody knows Virtual Dynamic cable?
Any prices available? 
How much money do you want to waste?
End the geekfest? Might as well shut down Audiogon right now: Cables are lots of fun because they are very mysterious, a cognitive black box... Since the first day I hooked up some $100 cables to my system oh so many years ago, I was simply amazed... 
Bear Labs compared to Say -Acoustic Zen Silver ???
How much do Bear Labs cables cost? 
B&W Nautilus 802 compared to 804
I think 801 and 802 are very different from the rest of the matrix line. Get the 802 if you can afford it. The sensitivity should be very similar to the 804. If I had to choose, I rather get an 805 than an 804.
