Ten Percent Distortion?
Why would you think that? Even "audiophools" do not know how to read and interpret specifications. How would a Best Buy shopper know anything more than "watts"? 
Revel Salons - Do they really sound like this?
When you have better gear, you get better results. You have much better gear and the results speak for themselves. Trust your ears. They've gotten you this far. Much further than hype and reviews will get you. 
Is this rude?
Shalom Slaufer. My comments pertaining to Eddaytona's Talmud reference were meant to clarify that those laws only apply if a Jew is dealing with another Jew. If a Jew is dealing with goyim, there are different protocols that are allowed. This is i... 
Is this rude?
That last one from Eddaytona was a real doozy. Maybe he should quote some other passages from the Talmud pertaining to what is considered to be acceptable treatment of Goyim. That would be a lot more enlightening for most of the readers here. 
Pros and Cons of Side Firing Woofers
Look in archives with a search for a thread called "Side Firing Bass Designs - pro's & con's?". Pretty well covered the subject. 
Good match for Quad 405

Goertz interconnect between turntable and pre-amp?
Avoid their interconnects at this position in your system. Depending on model, probably too high in capacitance to compensate for elsewhere. 
is it me or sacd.
Don't buy Alice In Chains on SACD. Sounds like your tweeters are broke. 
Suspended Basis vs Nonsuspended Teres
You are trying to recover microscopic vibrations from within a groove. How many more micro and macro vibrations do you want coming up to the platter from the floor and rack? 
A serious blow to Canadian audiophiles, must read
Since when does audiophile = dope smoker? 
Pre-Amp for Parasound JC-1
The JC-1's do not have compatibility problems. It is the junk that other manufacturers are producing and charging high end prices for that create problems. Some manufacturers have no quality control. Would you rather the JC-1's not shut down and p... 
To couple or decouple? That is the question.
If one is coupling to the floor, doesn't the floor itself have a resonance and resonate? Can't energy from the floor be passed back up the rack into the component? What is to stop vibration floating in the air from resonating the rack itself? Sinc...
