Speaker Cables for Sonus Faber Olympica III
After discussing Roberts speakers with Jond in my last post, I checked AG's listings just out of curiosity. There's a pair of Signature 3's listed for $750, and they look close to new. If anyone needs speakers, and is willing to take a chance on s... 
Dumb Head Phone Question
I don't get it. If there's no amp at all, then the jack is useless. Why put it there? 
Dumb Head Phone Question
"Also, I would welcome any comments regarding the head phone choice."Sennheiser is known for making headphones that are fairly laid back sounding. I haven't heard the B&W's, but if you look at their speakers, I would expect them to sound very ... 
Receiver HDMI problem
I never knew this was such a big problem. I assume you are talking about the audio portion of HDMI. I've been using HDMI, video only to TV's and computer monitors with no issues.

Jond,"I've become a fan or Robert Grost's Cerious Technologies cables."Have you ever heard his speakers? He used Corian instead of wood on the higher end models. They all sounded great, though. Its unfortunate he stopped making them.

I don't think the cable is too long. You can move your system closer to the projector and try shorter cables just to be sure. It sounds like a configuration problem to me.

Why do my ears ring with my new amplifier?
What's so good about northern fried chicken? You got a problem with the south? 
Which is better,AV pre/pro o direct analog out?
It sounds like a good idea. I don't know if it will be the right way to do it for everyone, but its worth consideration. 
Marantz PM 8003 v Rotel or NAD sperates
The first thing I would consider, is the companies you list, are all known for making integrateds. They do make separates, but I don't think they would a very big step up in terms of sound quality. I think the best thing you can do, is to go audit... 
Sleeper Vintage Tube Gear?
I think a vintage tube or SS preamp in the signal chain will impose too much of its sound on the recordings. I would bypass the preamp and go directly into a CD recorder. Its a much cleaner solution, and if you want to do any type of processing, i...

What's your source? Also, did you swap the tubes from the right and left channels to make sure there's no problem with your tubes themselves?I haven't seen this problem before, but maybe someone else can answer this. Could his bias be off?
