Sleeper Debut Lps...70s classic rock
"Montrose" is one of my all time favorite albums. I believe Sammy Hagar was only about 17 years old when this album came out. Its one of the all time greats. 
ARCAM AVR600 Reliability Issues
Blues,I would expect the updates will solve your problem. Did you send it to an authorized Arcam repair center? I assume you bought it new, and it was under warranty. I guess I'm a bit confused as to how you are hooking it up with an amp, and pre ... 
Established Artists: Hidden Gems/Classic Rock
Interesting post "Phase"I totally agree. I was never a Billy Joel, Stevie Wonder, or Elton fan back in the day. Some of my favs now. There are just to many to list. I always play the obscure cuts at home, and when I'm out. Regardless of the perfor... 
Need advice on building an A/V system
Since you are all set for 2 channel, a receiver is the way I would go. There are plenty of good ones in your price range. I sell Sony, Yamaha, and Arcam. The Arcam being my favorite, and what I use at home. 
How to amplify 4 Main/Front Speakers
I use an Adcom GFS-3 on my second system. I usually select either my main, or deck speakers. You can play multiples at once. I do this from time to time when my house and yard are full of guests. Works fine. 
I am having BIG problems with my ARCAM AV-888
Did you buy it new? Authorized dealer? Contact them. Arcams service is great. If not, I can give you a list of authorized Arcam service centers in the U.S. Also, is it the 3d version? 
ARCAM AVR600 Reliability Issues
bluesnbike,I'm simply stating what my personal experience has been. There are many products I've sold over the years that have been much more troublesome. For one thing, none of the 600's I've ever had were the original firmware. I was not an Arca... 
Soothing the night....
The earplugs might work great. Many years ago when I worked a swing shift, I found that I could sleep any time of the day or night, if I wore earplugs. I didn't really even have to be tired. For some reason, depriving myself of sound, just makes m... 
DBX Soundfield V tweeter replacement
I would contact Madisound. 
Arcam P777 or Theta Intrepid
jwseitz,I guess I wouldn't go so far as to call them "stellar" Something would have to be pretty special for me to use a term like that. I will say the Arcam amp i'm using now is the best I've owned myself. I don't own the store. so I buy things I... 
Arcam P777 or Theta Intrepid
I'm glad someone jumped in about the 2 dimensional comment. I'm an Arcam dealer, so I didn't. My opinion is a full 180 from Bo's. I really like their gear. I actually use a P7 at home myself and love it. I've got all Arcam in my own main system no... 
What is a really good sounding low volume system??
the marriage isn't the problem, even if she's not really into hifi. The problem, for now, is the environment you will be living in. Headphones would be perfect, if you can do it. I've got a nice pair of stax, and even though I like them, I just do...

Sneaky new internet tax pushing through fast
I agree with Tim. (on everything) I will say that maybe if I looked at my check stub and didn't feel like what I pay in was absurd, I'd feel better about paying online tax. As it stands, if I never paid any online tax, I still pay more than my fai... 
Amp for PSB Stratus Gold
I remember them being a bit heavy in the bass. I had a friend that drove them with a Nakamichi P7. That would be way under your budget. I would expect a Pass or Threshold would do a good job too. Belles would be on my list also. IMO, something on ...
