Hooking everything up for the first time
Revnice-Do not do what you just stated! Looking at the Onkyo manual it appears that to use the Line Out of the receiver, your Emotiva amp would need a separate volume control. Like Sfar said you should be cautious of hooking up amps to Line Out ou... 
A website that has audible sample tracks?
iTunes allows you to preview songs, but only portions of the song. Are you looking to hear entire tracks? 
Shunyata ztron power vs cx cables...
If you guys want to burn in your power cables just buy one of the adapter cables Shunyata sells and hook it up to your refrigerator for 24/7 high current cable break-in. Or this for way less $:http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?c_id=102... 
Music Matters 7 - Seattle
I agree the Wilson room sounded great. But my favorite all things considered was the Transparent, Ayre, Vienna Acoustics room. I always seem to enjoy that room the most, a great selection of music and fun vibrant people. The Wisdom Audio room just... 
MA2275 Issue need some advice
Are you positive it is the Mac? Have you swapped ICs left to right at the source only? Or try another set of interconnects from source to amp. You may be looking at the wrong component for trouble. Good luck. 
Do you buy Insurance for Stereo Equipment?
Many of you may be wrong with your policies going with the idea that individual items add up to the enter whole. That just is not the case with most plans. My premium cost roughly 10-15% more even though I increased coverage by about 50% when insu... 
Do you buy Insurance for Stereo Equipment?
You need to "schedule" each item with your insurance company. I did this for each component that was worth more than my deductible. I assigned each item a replacement value, a value that in most cases was above retail(or what I paid) as I have som... 
Short runs of flexible power cord?
I use a block of wood as a stain relief on my source power cable (it's at the top of the rack). Just cut to fit so that the weight of the cable is on the block and not the IEC. This can leave a small indentation on the cable but a rubber etc. pad ... 
Panasonic Viera - ARCAM AVR200
Does your tv have a digital out and the Arcam have digital in? Or run the digital outputs from you devices to the Arcam for audio and leave HDMI handling video only. 
Wireless headphones for tv watching
Thank you for your input. I will throw these into the "considered" mix. They appear to be a model that has been around awhile, it seems that Sony and Sennheiser are recommended choices at this moment. 
Shunyata Diamondback PC with Wattgate connectors
I think the difference would be negligible as well. I would recommend using the funds required for buying Wattgates and instead buy the next level cable and sell your Diamondback. Eventually you'll probably want new cables and the money you "inves... 
Which Amp to Choose McIntosh MC7200 or MC275-V?
I have always found Bertllium Focals(except for the really high end models) to be on the bright side although to my ear the latest gen Beryllium models are sounding really good, not as edgy, according to my tastes of course. I have also felt that ... 
Does High End In Wall Speaker Wire Exist?
I vote Transparent Cable, great match for Wilson speakers. You run lengths of their in wall cable and then it terminates at a wall plate. From there you connect short lengths of speaker cables with the network boxes on that cable to the wall plate... 
Detaching Guarneri Homage columns from marble base
I would try standing on the bases with your feet having the column between your legs and gently roll your thigh into the the column. If the bond can be broken this should provide the lowest impact way of separating the two. I'm guessing the finish... 
Digital Rights Management and iTunes
Cwlondon- 1)not sure2)no, the cd you burned will not work on "any" player as you put it. It depends on the file type and wether the player can read burned dics 3)the files you re ripped aren't CD quality, they were not to begin with. When purchasi...
