When showing your system to others, what do you do
Ferrari-Im confused about your post. Are you joking saying dollars spent is the way to determine a good system or do you feel thats how it should be measured? When i invite a person over to expereince my system im not trying to wow them with what ... 
When showing your system to others, what do you do
Thanks guys for all the suggestions. I, like most of you dont mention prices cause we always get the look. the look like im crazy for spending what i did and yet they say they wouldnt mind having it in their home. So have any of you converted anyo...

What pre to use with Vons and Bryston 2B-SST?
I havent had the chance to listen to a BAT amp yet but will hopefully soon. Im sure that once i hear one i will be drooling. Im really impressed with BATs sonics. As of now though i am beyond satisified with what i hear, plus adding a BAT amp woul... 
What pre to use with Vons and Bryston 2B-SST?
Well i cant comment on either of those pres but when i was using the PS Audio PCA2 pre the sound was like you described. Dry and uninvolving were words i used often to describe what i was hearing. Im totally in love with my BAT right now, it just ... 
What pre to use with Vons and Bryston 2B-SST?
I feel the BAT and the Bryston have incredible synergy, the Bryston really came in to its own with that pre. I couldnt be happier...period. 
What pre to use with Vons and Bryston 2B-SST?
Well i decided on a stand alone pre amp after all. I went with the BAT Vk-3iX w/ remote and couldnt be happier. The addition of this piece has brought my music to another level. This piece has been the most and i dont use this term loosesely here ... 
Von scheikert VR4jr what are you using ?
Jgiacalo- what spikes are you using? I have a pair of Vr2s and would like to replace the spikes. I was looking at some Mapleshade ones but being able to rake the speaker back is a must. Are yours height adjustable? 
Inexpensive preamps look too good to be true?
My dealer made a good point about these "cheap" brands, where will they be in five years?" Meaning if you keep this piece of gear for a while and require service and they are no longer in business your screwed. Then you end up buying another piece... 
Volume and Bass levels at LA HE Show
I had a simlilar experience with some Sunfire gear at a high end shop. My thinking was that they didnt think i knew anything about hifi, therefore the louder the better. My brother and myself walked out saying "well that was a waste." It wasnt jus... 
Cable Synergy
i have older PS Audio pcs and one newer one and i recommend getting the newer ones with the softer jacket. They are easier to route and look nicer as well. Just my opinion. 
PsAudio P-3-- or UPC 200
I agree with the above posts. I had a P300 in my system for a couple of days and do miss that peice of gear. Being able to tweak the frequency yeilded even better gains than just pluggin it in, even with just plugging it in though it sounded great... 
Best music store online or off?
dont buy from Music Direct. i have had nothing but issues with those guys when ordering vinyl. Either the record was too warped to play or they shipped the wrong one etc. etc. Customer service wasnt that great either. I am currently waiting to exc...

Any Tool fans out there.
snipes-i understand your reasoning about Emotive. The show was Tool on May 2nd at the Paramount in Seattle. I think it holds about 2400 people. The show was awesome, my friend and myself had great seats, we could see the whole stage without any pr...
