CD stuck in Player---Help---Bebel Gilberto
To keep this going I remember Dark SOM that puppy got stuck for ages, then when the WALL came out--same, same -- The The Roger Waters Amused To Death got stuck for months and months;yep,that long. 
looking for tight powerful bass: Mirage or Deftech
Well a key to bass is how the amp controls the woofer. I had the 3si 12 years ago. A pretty nice speaker in its time. Ants and elephants ain't that far off.(First group to second group)--- Maybe a sub to keep the bass request intact and the dollar... 
Help me choose an amp
Hey, welcome to the party---I'm going to mention 2 amps that I have bought in the last 2 months.---(Love to dabble) One is the Sound Valves VTA70 which is 35 a side. 4 total el34's It has on-board easy bias.Now this was a $450 used amp---(looked b... 
From Avantgarde to a conventional speaker?
When I was about to move up from my Lowthers I gave AVG's a passing thought. My room is just to small. I went with the SAP Audio Quartettes. In size they look like your typical floor-stander.-(17 deep,47 high, and 10 wide.) Seems nobody has heard ... 
Difference?
I think one just needs to look at the numbers. HT seems more realistic going down to 30 and below.--A sub will allow this without changing your main speakers--(if you alread own 'em). Depends on how much bass you like. 
Which is the best solid state poweramp under $9000
Some reading this may be interested in "great-but-cheap". Well the already mentioned Belles; but the older 150a hot rod at about 800,used, is killer. Cool running summer amp. I can only guess how the ref. amp sounds. 
integrateds in the modern age: consensus?
Of course I'm talking in 'used-prices' but I'll place my Passive Placette/Belles 150a hot rod against any combo/intergrated--in the 1600-for-both,range. It goes against the grain in performance for the price.---Sure you need good stuff ahead of th... 
Help me pick a digital cable
Well to those of you whom can't hear a dif. you're lucky.I have the $1200 Sy.Re.active model and it's like a component up grade.---Compared to the 5 other dig.cables I have in house.---The lesser ones go into HT application.I have an abs/ebu and a... 
Stereovox HDXV vrs i2Digital x-60
I don't know about these cables,but if your system is up to it, a Hi quality cable can make a bigger difference than you might think.

I have a 65in.rptv same dimension as your short wall.In front of this tv I have a 92in auto screen that comes down for those "un-casual" viewing moments. Pull the couch up--way up!! 
Dirty Mary, Crazy Larry to be Released on DVD
I'm sure I've seen this but I keep mixing up the car movie that has Nick Nolte and Don Johnson in it. 'Have any more plot info?? 
Is this ludicrous or not?
"Over the last 10 years"??? I remember when the Levinson digital stuff first came out;its price was so high compared to most other similar devices--- And that was 15 years ago. I'll take the tweek and 75 cent Winchells. 
Subtlety ? do any American amps do it?
I owned a TR6 (motorcycle)in '69. (single carb.650)Yup, never failed to mark its spot;even when brand new. And on to its electrical--designed by Lucas;--the prince of darkness, was the proper term to describe---.
