Monitor Speaker Vote "Face Off"...
Prological:Biggish room, weakish equipment (but it's good enough for now, given your plans). I know them solely by reputation, but people I know know what they're talking about highly recommend NewForm Research R630. Brand spankin' new they're at ... 
Psychological audio, proceed slowly
Trolling, JD? I'm disappointed.chas 
Monitor Speaker Vote "Face Off"...
Please please please AUDITION whatever gets the most votes, and at least the second place vote getter, before you buy! It's much better to KNOW you love what your buying than to wonder if what your hearing is what you're supposed to be hearing. Th... 
Buying a used Pre-amp...Advice needed
Old reliable Conrad Johnsons are fairly easy to find in your price range. If it's just a tide you over kinda thing it should suffice.chas 
really small speakers less than 500
You might want to give the Boston Acoustics line a listen. The CR series might work for you, and they're about as small as it gets (short of the Bose cubes, but they do sound a whole lot better!) And the Paradigm Atoms are pretty decent for their ... 
Stereophile lists? Where can I find them
Stereophile's website currently has the 2000 list posted, but no others that I could find. Easiest thing would probably be to go to the library and look at the back issues.chas 
Best Speaker for Audio Analogue Puccini
I really like my SR-17s, and preferred them over the ProAcs. I didn't/haven't heard the Tylers. Also compared the Silverlines with Spendors, Sonus Faber, Paradigm Studios and Phase Techs, and bought the Silverlines, largely on a price vs performan...

Buying "Sound Unheard"
Late with my response again. Arrrrgh, where does the time fly? Well, anyway, my suggestion is to get your primary system up and happy making with only auditioned gear, then play with unheard/unseen gear on a piece by piece basis. I auditioned a go... 
Attention Scientists, Engineers and Na-s
Hey folks, chill a little, here, please. In just 37 posts what could have been a really useful discussion broke down to the standard "You don't want to hear what I'm saying, so I won't talk to you anymore, and further more (fill in the insult of y... 
SACD Dominates Recommended List
Oh you goofs!! Stereopile has to boost SACD so the format will catch on so everyone will have to buy one because its THE new format AND we'll have to replace our music libraries with SACDs. I personally give the format 5 to 6 years, by which time ... 
Survey-What is your most used source?
50/50, cd and tt. Cds for all the music I don't have on 78s - as you can imagine, that's alot of music!chas 
should vinyl be put on auction at audigo
Vinyl generally survives mailing pretty well, provided you pack half way decently. I once received over 1000 78 rpm records via US post, they were poorly packed (standing on edge, no sleeves, some 75-80 per box, just "padded" with newspaper balls)... 
FLUANCE Speakers. Look like BW 802
Hey, you'se guys don't buy your speakers based on what they look like? Shocked, I say I'm shocked by that information!chas 
Amp Suggestions please...
Hey - if being Class A floats your boat, sail on, my man. But read the TAS review at the Marsh site before suggesting the Marsh can't carry the load - the reviewer used Harbeth Monitor 40s for his review - nominal 4 ohm, 85 db sensitive - and neve...
