av receiver help needed
Buy the HK. Unless you want to spend twice the money its hard to beat. My 2nd system has Overture 3s and a HK reciever. Its not up to the standard of my Krell and Snell set up. But it shouldnt be. 
What DAC should I buy?
I second the Theta Pro Basic IIIa. Thats what i use! 
Best used 2 channel preamp for 2500.00.
Another conrad johnson the PF-R its a great pre amp. The premier 14 is also a good one. Ive seen PF-R on here as cheap as $1100. I dont think you will get a better pre amp unless you want to spend some outrageous money! 
DVD-A, XRCD..... where do YOU get them online?
You can get DVD-A at Amazon.com also. 
What after the old CD player? CDP, SACD or DVD-a?
I figure sooner or later someone will make a player that will play them all. I have a DVD player that does DVD-A. I got it real cheap. The price of the disc is killing the format. They sound great. But i have a up scale Theta setup that sounds jus... 
Dedicated AC Line or Upgrade Equipment?
I have a Krell KSA 150. This is cheap and easy to do to give you a sample. Run one 20 amp line to your amp. You will hear a noticeable difference. Warning it will lead to more dec lines!!!!! 
Why SACD,DVD-A are already DEAD
If you think SACD is high res you need to get a new cd player! Its just another mass market gimmick. I do think DVD-A is high res but the gain is not worth the price of the disc! 
Opinion sought on rogue manufacturer...Help
You can also file a complant with the Better Busness in his hometown. They will send the forms by mail. If you cant get a fair result you need to let everyone know so we will not make the same mistake! 
transaction gone bad Any recourse for me? HELP
Never buy speakers without orginal boxes if you cant pick them up. Your clain with ups will be useless if the boxes did not have arrows and were not well marked this end up! The seller who shipped then should have done this! 
phillips TDA1541 chip
The high end phillips units used a select ver of this chip. The CD 880 and 990 i think used the gold crown ver 
Theta Data II good transport?
I have a data basic 2 which has been a great transport so far. I also have a Micromega stage one for a spare, as a transport the Theta is a better unit. FYI both units use Phillips transports as do many high end units! 
How long is too long to ship?
Thanks for replys. He said his bank thought it would clear by the 3rd if it did he would ship next day. I checked with the credit union and it did clear on the 3rd. Yesterday he sent a email saying he would check with his bank. He is about 12 days... 
Krell amps with Magneplanar speakers
I dont know who tireguy hangs with but in my two cents worth are as follows. The BAT is a fine amp but in my house it is not the most nutral amp ive heard its a matter of taste. I think the Krell KSA&KMA amps sound better than the FBP. The Rol... 
To plug in or not to plug in?
I use one that has its own line and the only thing plugged to it is the amp. I use another one for everything else. Like sean said try it both ways. 
The most important piece in a stereo system???
Only as good as the weakest link. The entire system including the room.
