Amplification Recommendations Please
looking at the used market I would seek out a Classe CAP-100 or CAP-150 
Looking for best CD or Dac under $15k new.
Linn UniDisk 1.1 - hands down 
please help a rookie
My most recent upgrade had the same budget as your start up (lucky you!!) ... I ended up with killer bang for the buck with the following used system;Classe CAP-150 integrated w/ phono stageHales Revelation 3 speakersCAL Icon II CD deck (carried o... 
Cable Hedge
For your long runs look to AudioQuest type 2 or 4. Cheap and still solid core geometry. Really meant for in wall installations, but way better than garden variety zip or monster cable.Havn't heard your mains, so I'll not put my foot in mouth with ... 
Your "Budget Cable" recommendations, please......
Kimber Hero ... I went from MIT Terminator 4s to hero between my MSB Link III and Classe CAP-150. There was so much more "there" there that it was startling at first. I've seen them around for about $100 / meter pair used ... and even in the mid 1... 
I have a 2 channel set up. What is the best way
There are several integrateds available that offer theatre throughput. Most are, at worst, a performance peer to the Mira. On the cheap, a Classe CAP100 can solve your stereo listening and when combined with an older processor and a three channel ... 
Help pick opening song for my film
Kahn!1 - great to see your words again.2 - in the five minutes I've had to think about it I keep coming back to Gabriel's 'In Your Eyes' ... out of budget I'm sure. I will be hanging with a bunch of my fellow musicians tonight and we'll brain stor... 
Problem with FedEx Ground Shipping?
In the past year and a half FedEx has bought several carriers and made them thier own. Among them was RPS, a ground service - now FedEx Ground. They've repainted the trucks, but in my area little else has changed ... same drivers etc. I've seen pa... 
Why is the turnover on maggies 1.6QR so much?
Jvia has it pretty cold. 1.6QRs were on on short list but suffered the same fate as the Martin Logans when my wife was brought in to veto anything that was too big or ugly for the room. I also suspect that to get the most from the speaker will req... 
High Quality Outlets Where to get them??
Skip the online deal - Home Depot, Lowes or any electrical supply house worth it's salt will have these items on the shelf. I bet even a True Vlue would order them in in a couple of days. Be sure though to check that each device has a prominent gr... 
15 amps or 20 amps outlet
Forgive me if you are aware of the diatribe I am about to deliver, hopefully someone will avoid a dangerous mistake by reading this.Unless the amp is fused and corded for more than 15A of draw there is no benefit in switching to the NEMA 5-20 conf... 
smoking/humming dynakit st 35
I concur with Albert - there is more than likely a short to ground on your new work. When replacing multi conductor terminations I always make a continuity map prior to starting work so I can be sure that I have not created any new paths in my wor... 
power cables? What can I expect?
You may be able to go one better ... if so inclined. If you have the skills, run a new dedicated circuit for your audio system. Stop sharing power with the vacuum cleaner, noisey dimmers or (heaven forbid) a computer with laser printer! If you can... 
Any audio gifts for Christmas?
My daughter was born on Friday morning and came home on Christmas eve ... her falling asleep to the music in my main room is the best gift I could have ever asked for. 
Audiophile Changer: Cool or Hopeless Compromise?
CW - I think that you're looking for a really big changer? Pioneer's Elite unit put out a big one (100+?) that I have heard good comments about ... I have always liked the Elite stuff that I've had the oppertunity to use.
