Sistrum or Neuance or...?
I fell upon this while looking through Ken Lyons' posts. Its interesting to see what has and has not changed in three years. Just for the archives:http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?htech&980018129&openfrom&1&4#1 
Cryoing of audio equipment
How does the non-cryo version of Jena Labs' outlet compare to the cryo'd one? 
Sophomore Slump? The best 2nd albums of all time
-One of the largest disparities between one and two is My Bloody Valentine's This is Your My Bloody Valentine and Isn't Anything.-Smashing Pumpkins' Gish and Siamese Dream. I have a soft theory that if Siamese Dream came first, the Pumpkins wouldn... 
Who Was Your Favorite One Hit Wonder
I watch too much VH1: Sinead O' Connor and Frankie Goes to Hollywood 
ELF Custom Cable,Inc "Silver Signature"speaker cbl
With such a system, I think there would be other ideas in your head just as interesting as the one's concerning ELF cables. 
Information on Car Audio
OEM car stereos have come a long way, but the premium prices of those I remember to be umm, interesting. Not to worry, though, a good specialty store can improve the car's system while maintaining stock look. That's what I have done with my cars. ... 
critical listening - i hear something i don't like
Just so it may make more sense, my last post was written immediately in order after Objective1's response to my first post. I don't feel rewriting it to better fit what has come subsequently. 
critical listening - i hear something i don't like
Responders are the the ones who are "postulating" in my post. Sorry for the ambiguity. A more powerful conclusion will result in discovering first hand the cause to your problem instead of relying on present or past responses. I would be surprised... 
critical listening - i hear something i don't like
Incoherence at high volume in an untreated room?..you don't say...Since you're dealing with that already, I guess you'll soon come to a better conclusion than you would from haphazard audiogon postulating anyhow. Hope your efforts are the fix you'... 
Room dimensions: which Paradigm should I get?
Hillcrest HiFi on Preston by Valley View Mall at least did and probably does carry Paradigm. They also carry B&W which you should audition. And there are other stores in North Dallas near 75, which you should visit before buying those. I get t... 
Please read and help me
I'm no expert, but maybe consider Counterpoint SA-3000. I don't know about the phono stage because I own the non-phono version, SA-2000. But I must state that it is a very pleasant, fullish, non-bright, "natural" sounding preamp. 
Can a manufacturer post replies & discussions?
Welcome to audiogon. Considering your consideration here I doubt you will have much trouble in practice. Simply posting ideas in general terms keeps the seas calm enough. What a manufacturer can post, however, apparently has to do with their "Adve... 
Necessary Attire
The easy way to see 
Interconnect to tame bright sounding CDP
Relax, my man. The Cary neither bright (nor neutral). If it doesn't calm down, there's a problem that either can not or should not be solved with anti-bright cables. Good luck. 
XM vs. Sirius
One company isn't better than the other in all situations, so what is better depends on more personal specifics than you have shared. I like XM only because I like Alpine and hate Sirius' associated "ready" head units. What it costs depends on the...
