Do You Remember Your First Music Purchase?
Beatles; Rubber SoulThe next one I remember is Led Zeppelin II. I am sure there was probably some inbetween these, but this is the one I remember. I remember purchasing Paul Revere and the Raiders with Cherokee People, but don't remember if it was... 
100th anniversary of Stereo
Hey Analogphil, I did appreciate this and I will post the link over at the DVD-Audibahn at Audio Asylum. This has been a concern of mine as well. 
DACs: Burmester vs. Meitner vs. dcs
Libor, a new DAC I think you should add to your audition list is the new Audio Synthesis DAX Discrete.Audio Synthesis DAX Discrete 
Active vs. Passive Step-Up Devices
I will be using Graham Engineering transformers and I have been told that they will fit. Jensen transformers and the Stevens & Billington TX-103 will fit as well, I'm told. My preamp chassis is about 6" high. 
Active vs. Passive Step-Up Devices
Ljgj, thanks for your response. I plan on having some step-up transformers installed inside of my preamp. I always like to be informed prior to making a decision. 
OTL amplifiers
re: SET OTL ampsSame goes for Atma-Sphere.Perhaps Twl is referring to single tube SET's. 
hifi as investment?
Do a search for "free audio" and see what you find, I am not sure what you will find, but the concept is out there. This opportunity has been around for quite awhile. Linn Kan II loudspeakers are a prime example of a product that has a large enoug...

The Best kept Secret in Speaker Cables please?
Check out the XLO Unlimited, or perhaps even the Limited. Prana Wire looks to be very interesting, but expensive. For much lower cost, people seem to really like Audience.I think your best bet is to find out what people have found successful with ... 
When did it all start?
I don't recall any particular epiphany that led to my love of good audio equipment, but I do recall my exposure to the Beatles "Love Me Do" as being a significant musical milestone as a young child (8 years old I think). I have an 8 year old son t... 
A most neutral and transparent power cord
Psychicanimal, what did the cryo treatment do for the the Absolute Power Cord? Where do you have your cords treated? 
A most neutral and transparent power cord
The Zcable Gold Lightning is a really good sounding cord in your requested price range. 
OTL amplifiers
Dfrigovt, I think you have received a lot of misinformation about OTL's that has confused the issues. Like Trelja, I can only speak about my experience in relation to Atma-Sphere M-60 amps. I have used my M-60's for over 3 years without one proble... 
Darryl and Darryl ask ... where would you start?
Darryl 1 is your wisest brother IME. I would advise you to really get a handle on what you hope to accomplish when all is said and done and then go from there. And I mean really figure out what kind of sound you want to end up with. Consider a sys...
