Glad its only color or are we? 
Movie Software make HT a Waste of Resources?
We can all take a beer and liten up. I argue Corporations and their proxy (National Government, e.g. Enron)keep us in a planned, constant state of litening up. Americans act on trivial knowledge (does anyone pay attention to the increasing trivial...

Actually much of the rest of planet already has joined the Amish compared to the US if you speak, Ellery911, from the perspective of not totally messing up the planet beyond what can be marginally sustainable(e.g., US Population has less than 5% o...

Movie Software make HT a Waste of Resources?
I had to respectfully laugh for quite a while upon reading the "summary" statement that our society is far from ideal offered as almost an excuse not to live an Examined Life vs the Unexamined Life (actually it is "Examined" by the media that tell...

Discretionary income is what is left over after what is necessary has been purchased. What seems relevant is what portion of your income and the rarest of things, time, goes into this diversion. So little time in this country is invested in unders... 
Home Theatre Software: Insulting?
LOL, I was only, tongue in cheek, trying to think of a boom boom recent movie on the fly that was a slight cut above Rambo. Dumbing down and fatting out (a national crisis to the Human Services Secretary) seem to go hand in hand. What you do not u... 
Best Long-Distance receiving Tuners
I had the Onkyo T-9090 (I don't think they ever made a T-9990) and T-9090 II. The F-93 was superior in long distance ability over the Onkyo all over the FM band. Yet the Onkyo was very good indeed for getting stations. I agree the Onkyo sounds ter... 
Best Long-Distance receiving Tuners
The F-93 is a very smooth sounding tuner for a Solid State but I would take the Fanfare over the F-93 for transparency and the Rotel RHT-10 over the Fanfare for transparency and an Aligned with NOS Telefunkens in McIntosh MR-67, MR-71,Fisher 200B,... 
Best Long-Distance receiving Tuners
Besides getting a very good FM antenna like the APS-13, strong rotor, Magnum Dynalab 205 Signal Slueth there is nothing out there for long distance like the Pioneer Elite F-93 for pulling in stations. I have had the FT1a, Etude, and tons of others... 
anyone familair with North 4.0 or Swans speakers?
I echo Blkadr's comments 100%! I am very happy with the M1's! Very fast, ultra clear, and smooth and airy at the same time. Exceptional combination for such a low cost, highly recommended especially for near field (6-8 ft) listening. 
modafferi mod for mcintosh tuner
Hard to say what is exactly wrong with your unit but have you tested all the tubes? I have had several MR-67s and MR-71s and a host of other tube tuners and have miracles happen with tube change to high quality NOS Tubes. 
Moster Cable HTS 5000 Owners
Part of this depends on your energy conscience and part on appreciation of always on for better sonics. I keep my DAC and preamp on because of the low energy usage and biggest bang for the buck. Other things I keep as switched since they seem to m... 
The Threshold E upgrade
To my knowledge the E-line upgrade only applied the SA series of amps. 
Best Mac tube FM tuner: MR67 or MR71??
I think the MR-67 sound is at least as good as the MR-71 given a good signal and far better bargain. The MR-78 has a dark, lifeless sound compared to the tubed MR-67 and MR-78 assuming you have good tubes in them (e.g., NOS gold pin Mullards or Te...
