Best blues guitarist, Clapton or Green
Nobody can stand in the same room with Hendrix. Clapton is a very good knock off. Muddy Waters is up on the top of my list also. Long distance call live is just too much.Tim 
Where are you at on the curve?...
Enjoy the ride.Tim 
Equipment Break-in: Fact or Fiction
This is a fact. Have you ever looked at an older circuit board? The flow of electricity changes the board. I have installed many cameras that had perfect focus and have returned two weeks later to find them out of focus. Gremlins perhaps! The ques... 
Anyone compared the Sony 9000ES with the 999ES?
RLFGo look at avsforum.com. I read some of the posts today. The 999 does not seem to be a big jump in audio or video.Tim 
What is the worst colour of speaker finish to you?

Best Power Conditioner?
StehnoThe BP-2 Ultra is 15amp balanced power unit from Balanced Power Tech. This is the ultra low noise piltron transformer. Sorry if that was unclear. I agree that using one in an apartment complex would be impressive. It was quite easy to instal... 
Electronics don't matter, Part III
Sometimes it takes awhile hear the improvements made changes in equipment. When I upgraded my old Hafler xl600 to a Anthem amp.2 special edition the sytem sounded smother,more detailed,and the soundstage became deep and wide.Tim 
Best Power Conditioner?
Before conditioners,I start with dedicated outlets. 20amp. breaker to 10 gauge wire to 20amp. variac to BPT BP-2 ultra that is putting out 118v a/c on the old Fluke. Sounds nice to me. Really cleared up background noise on the 65" mitz.

EAD DVD-Master 8000
I would also like know if anyone has heard of owns this player. I talked with Ben from EAD today and you don't need a pre-amp. to run it. I could sell my TheatervisionP,B+K ref 30,and Tosh 9200. The DVD master8000pro lists for $5900.00. Sure would... 
CD v. SACD
NatalieI don't know what your smoking. Take a trip over to Tweakaudio.com and do some reading. Call Rick and tell him Sony sucks. This guy is well respected in the bussines of modifing high,low,and medium grade players. You have not a clue what yo... 
CD v. SACD
NatalieWhat are you talking about? The Sony ES line SACD players sound great.Tim 
Audiogoners Anonymous?
JsbailI'm at 13 years in the program and feel I am much better off waking up with a new amp. than what I used to wake up with. The look of disgust on my wife when I walk in the door with a large cardboard box has me chasing high end cables for a w... 
Speaker placement for Joseph Audio rm25si
That sounds like a better choice. If the speakers are in front of the cabinets,they should image quite well. Give it some time and move them around. Speaker setup makes for big changes in sound.Most important!Have fun.Tim 
Speaker placement for Joseph Audio rm25si
BnrlawThat would not be the best way to set up the rm25's. They are very nice speakers.Tim
