E.L.O. - Electric Light Orchestra
You could try ELO on YouTube. Then go from there. 
If you had to choose: tube amp or tube pre-amp?
Add another here for a tube power amp, and solid state preamp. 
Panasonic "Smart" HT Question
Hi Jdoris, the PCM stands for Pulse Code Modulation. Some TVs and cable boxes have different bit rate settings that even will put out a regular two channel signal that is compatible with a standard CD player's D/A converters. Then some other sett... 
King of the one liners
Did you hear about the dumb family that traveled a few hundred miles going to Disneyland, but never made it? Well, there was a sign ahead that said Disneyland left, so they turned around and went home. 
WHAT TV SHOULD I GET RIGHT NOW?
Some of the audio part was mentioned above. If you plan on using just a basic stereo amp instead of the built in speakers, check for two channel analog outputs. Some that do have them, may give the option of variable or fixed outputs. These were c... 
Fuses that matter.
Anyway, my point is that, regardless of how many metals the sound has moved through becomes somewhat irrelevant since it still produces a final sound you have to live with on a daily basis and MIGHT be able to be improved upon. That said, I'm not ...

A Pair of Center Channels?
Beside the center channel not going low enough, some centers have a midrange hump (or boost) in their frequency response. I thought the fronts were matched until the past few years or so back when someone said they're not, in all cases. I looked a... 
Ears. The ultimate handicap.
Everyone has different shaped ears. Who would know if someone would have an ear that is shaped the way you could say theirs doesn't cause a change? Are medium sized ears more neutral? What about the internal parts of everyone's ears? I'd imagine t... 
"How... Say... These People Dont Want to Hear
Hifitime, yes, looking back at the post I wrote it does look weird putting the words "things" and "stuff" in quotes. It can be misconstrued, which was not my intent. I shared with Al my top secret for a system, one which I'm writing up now. I didn...
