International Shipping Company Recommendations
I us fedex. Once and a while USPS. FedEx charges the taxes and fees up front so you don't have to worry about the buyer not doing it when it gets there. 
Blindly deafly? bought Purple Flare cables...
I would expect you will like them a lot. The big question is really if you could have been just as happy (or maybe even more happy) for less money. Personally, and it's just me, I wouldn't spend that much without hearing/knowing first. I hope you ... 
Oldest piece of gear you own
Hafler 220 amp from 1984. Not being used at the moment, but still works great. Dahlquist DQM 9 speakers, still used on a regular basis in a system at home. 1985 I think. (New woofer surrounds about 10 yrs ago) 
"Best" 80's HiFi System
I would be looking at Nakamichi, belles, and something like threshold. Not sure of the dates, the Nak P7 was based on Pass amps, so that could fit the bill instead of the Threshold. Any of that gear would still make me happy. 
How are AVRs for 2-channel music these days?
The better AVRs are very good. I've used the Arcams at home an loved them. I'm sure there are many others, I just haven't used them myself.**dealer disclaimer** 
Velodyne only sub with remote volume control?
I mess with the volume on my subs all the time. Remote is a great feature to have. 
CD Player? PC Music? Naaa Flash Memory Music.
fmnp, what does that mean? 
Norah Jones
I like both Nora, and Krall. I've seen them both live and enjoyed them. I was in the 3rd row for Dianna at the Chicago theater this year, and thought she was amazing. Nora is not as good live imo, but still was a pleasure to see. Personally, I wou... 
Velodyne only sub with remote volume control?
I have 3 Velo's and they all have it. I also have a Tantra that is remote controlled. It has several features on the remote that Velo's don't have. I'm sure there must be others as well. 
Early stages of choosing replacement floorstanders
Dealer disclaimerI have not heard all the speakers you have mentioned. We did sell B&W for some time though. I really like the PSB's. if I planned on replacing what I have at home now, that's what I would go with. Pretty hard to beat for the m... 
Sony XA5400ES vs Rega Saturn:Which sounds better??
sunnyjim, you have been posting, and asking this same thing for months. (in one form or another) Nobody can make your mind up for you. I suspect until you try one, you will never know if it suits you or not. Its a great player for the money, and e... 
Lightning
I never had to use it, but I had a panamax years ago that they said would protect against a lightening strike. They said it had a $1,000,000 connected equipment guarantee. Maybe they have some fine print that gives them a way out. I'm not sure. It... 
80s Metalheads...sleeper picks
Riot. (Not quiet riot) Fire down under is awesome. Accept is an old favorite too. Old Dokken and Iron Maidon. 
Old Valhalla as Power Chord or New Frey 2 please
Bo, is there anything you haven't sold? 
Do power cords make a difference?
I wish I could convince myself they can work. Logically, I just don't see how they can. It would be great if I had a friend with some I could try.
