AR SP-5 or Threshold Sl-10
WOW! I havent' heard about the SP5 in quite awhile. I owned the SP5 for almost 20 years. I matched it with a Bryston 4B and was very happy. (remember, I did not have the ears I have now, nor the audio savoir faire..) I paid $600, brand spanking ne... 
RCA vs XLR which would say is the BEST?????
I second Tim's post. 
How many AudiogoNers are amateur chefs?
I live where I can go from cold sesame noodles in Chinatown to LeBernadin in a flash. But every once in awhile, give me a good tube steak with all the fixings or a Cheesburger, cheeseburger; and I'm in heaven. Also, if you don't leave in or near (... 
Is $18,000 enough for a high end HT?
$18k does not = high end, in HT. It may, get you some respect. I only know this from reading, but Wvick seems to know the deal. peace, warren 
How many AudiogoNers are amateur chefs?
It's all in the stock. The basic staple of great cooking: brown stock. BTW, if you chop your onions and have juice on your cutting board; you blew it. Read The Making of a Chef. peace, warren 
Best Power Cord for the Audio Magic Stealth
I do have a dedicated line for my AM Digital. I, still, have dedicated garbage to deal with. It's great without the AM and better with. I don't believe (I know many disagree) killer power cords are necessary with the Audio Magic power conditioners... 
Best Power Cord for the Audio Magic Stealth
Kana, still angry? I know you've had a poor experience with the "Magic" box, but, hey, the magic works for me, and others. Remember, it's very dependent on your electic and its' mystical properties. I use the Lat International power cords, btw, an... 
Digital Display Worry?
That is a valid worry, assuming your digital readout is not LED. If left on continuously, it will, one day down the long road, burn out one of those little lights. I have an Audio Aero Prima. If I do not shut off the display it will remain on inde... 
Ive got me the Digital Nasties
I own the Audio Magic Mini Digital. With a couple of good power cords, (I use Lat International. inexpensive, but combined with the Stealth--Nirvana) your cdp will go where it's never gone before. peace, warren 
I can't find a box to ship my speakers,,,,,,,,,,,,
Call Klipsch with your problem. 
Audio Magic vs PS audio
I own the Audio Magic Matrix, now, but I use to own the Stealth. My comparison was not ideal, considering the electronics etc., but I decided on the Stealth. I love it, and wouldn't be without my Stealth. As I have said in earlier posts, I had to ... 
Best stands for Proac Response 2
Blu tak is not a coupler. Quite the contrary. It will act as glue would to hold your speakers to the stands. If that's what you think coupling is, forgeddabout it. The path from speaker to Earth must (if you want to couple) be free of ANY absorbin... 
Stand question: Lovan vs. VTI
Don't know about either. Throw this into your search. Sistrum, found at audiopoints.com. Speak to Robert. You can thank me later. If you're looking cheap/inexpensive: like Gilda Ratner of Saturday Night Live, use to say, "never mind." peace, warren 
Best stands for Proac Response 2
Stands are a significant extention of your speakers. Read my review on the Sistrum Mini Monitor Platfrom support system. Hopefully it'll explain the difference between isolating(decoupling) and coupling. I'm a coupler. Sand, lead, blu-tak, any abs... 
Power conditioners
This is a thread that draws, as a rule, a plethora of conditioner raps: pro and con, and then, which one to buy, if you want to go that route. I own the Audio Magic Matrix for my analog end and the Stealth Mini Digital for my front end. I can't be...
