Rush Live in 2013 - Clockwork Angels
Not this tour, but I have seen them several times. It's always impressive. Shows like that are getting to be a thing of the past. I did see kiss 2 years ago, and they were as good as I remember them being 20+ years ago. Not really what I listen to... 
Downgrade Suprise?
I have things that would be considered a downgrade in systems at home. I think for what I've spent, they are surprisingly good. Are they better than my reference gear? No. It would be great to find something like that. At my price point, (modest c... 
Pioneer Elite BDP-33FD upgrade crashed my unit
I have not had it with pioneer, but have had issues with other things. It's not just bluray BTW. I have several things that are "due" for upgrades. If I'm not having problems, I don't do it. Sometime they work, sometimes not. In some cases, the re... 
Thiel 02 woofer replacement?
contact Madisound. They will have a replacement for you. 
When is it to hot to cut the grass?
Iso, I'm not sure if that was serious or not. It's either sad, or funny. Went through a nasty divorce once myself. My first wife wouldn't have known which side of the mower to stand on. As luck would have it, my father in law is a Deere salesman, ... 
When is it to hot to cut the grass?
I'll ask my wife. I'm not supposed to touch her new John Deere, and I don't! Sucks that I have to golf every night, but, it is what is. Gotta love those farm girls. BTW, its Africa hot in upper Michigan now too. (no offense ladies, my wife actuall... 
Emotiva XPA-5 vs. Parasound A51?
Zen,I agree with much of what you said. I'm basically saying he can demo the Emo, with no financial risk. That IS his chance to hear it. In my mind, I expect the Parasound to be a better amp. Is it nearly 3 times the price, with no warranty better... 
Emotiva XPA-5 vs. Parasound A51?
I've never used either one myself. In your case, it seems like a no brainer to try the Emotiva. If you like it, problem solved. If not, you send it back within 30 days. I typically wouldn't say something like this, but you really have little to lose. 
Can old equip work with today's technology
Assuming you have cable or satellite, you should be able to get audio from the receiver to your stereo. 
Wireless keyboard and mouse
I've been using a Logitech for several years. Inexpensive, works perfectly. 
Odd shaped Amps and preamps
I always thought the Manley stingray was a cool looking amp. Fatman also makes, or made an amp called the mothership that's impressive looking. 
Speaker suggestions??
I'm a ProAc fan. I also can't say enough good about them. I still use response 3's In my bedroom and love them. I won't say they are the best out there, but to me, they do everything right. I'd never give mine up. 
Dahlquist DQ-20 Fan club Rant
Wow, this is an old thread. I'm surprised I didn't chime in when it was new. As much as I like the DQ 20's. The DQM 9 is a much better speaker IMO. Yes, I've had both. I had the 9's first, and then wanted the 20's. I picked up a pair, and was disa... 
New tv?
I still use plasmas, and like them the best. I've got 2 LG's. A 60, and a 42. Both get a ton of use, and still work perfectly. Both are about 6-7 years old. The 60 was their top model when I bought it, and was about 6k retail then. You can get a b...
