Are Harbeth P3ESR's Any Different From B&W???
Ive never heard bright associated with Harbeths. I have compact 7's but I run tube amplification. Oddly I used to own B&W DM602's with solid state NAD gear and never found it bright. I did however connect the B&W's to Rotel gear and I coul... 
Where to buy CD's
Agree with Lowrider. Ive had great luck with the private vendors on Amazon (and found some rare cd's) as well as Amazon themselves. Ive had a few cracked jewel cases but I keep a case of those on hand and just swap the cracked case out with a new ... 
No love. Why?
Don't worry about it and enjoy them. I own Harbeth and occasionally I see a post come up where the only people that post on it are Harbeth haters. I never reply because everyones entitled to their own opinion. If you can listen and enjoy the music... 
Pangea AC-9SE vs AC-9
Thanks Erndog. Maybe I can move the rack out a little to help ease the tension. 
Is it worth buying a headphone amp?
The only amp that I know of that really makes headphones shine is a Cary SLI80. Other than that I would go with a headphone amp. Especially if K702 's might be in your future. The K702 's require some serious guts but you will be rewarded. Headpho... 
Vincent 236Kkii Reliability vs. Yamaha and Luxman
I would go Luxman to make sure its your last (especially if you have a local dealer). 
New level of ridiculousness
They're not marketing them at the common sense crowd. These sell to the book smart. If you've ever used a screwdriver you're safe. 
Pangea AC-9SE vs AC-9
Can anyone tell me how flexible the Pangea AC9 is? Looking at pictures of this 7awg cable, it looks very rigid. I don't want to bend it a lot but my amp is about 14" from the wall. My current power cord is like a wet noodle so I think this would b... 
Storm Sandy - best wishes
Palasr. Thanks to the info. That's a small price to pay to keep the basement dry. 
Great albums that don't make audiophile lists
Toots always makes my list. Maybe I'm not an audiophile because I love everything ive ever heard from that man including the theme to Sesame Street. 
Storm Sandy - best wishes
I live up in Rochester NY which is a good 4 1/2 - 5 hours from the coast and they're even telling is to prepare for wide spread power outages and heavy rains with flooding. This storm is huge. I bought one of the last generators at Lowes. If I los... 
Admiral Television?
You know, I never expected it to be what it turned out to be but I guess it didn't surprise me. When my wife forwarded the information I actually said "get out" aloud at my office. I'm thinking about hunting down that book about Todd now that this... 
Audioquest Dragonfly
How about Decibel? Ive read some good things. 
Admiral Television?
Sorry about that. I think the news has gotten the best of me lately. It has taken over my brain (whats left of it). I have nightmares about politicians. I was mowing the lawn after that post and was asking myself if I typed Paul Ryan. 
Admiral Television?
Marty. I guess this guy my wife works with is friends with Paul Ryan who authored a book on Todd Rungren. He told my wife theres a whole chapter on War Babies. It must be interesting if there's a whole chapter on it.
