Most unusual/mesmerizing female voice.
Sia Furler, Joan Armatrading. 
Great Jack Bruce Albums,which ones?
Any of the albums with Robin Trower are excellent. Phil Brady. 
Cars. What does the typical audiophile drive?
Buick Regal because it is quiet and smooth. I buy them new and run them until they die, usually at 300k. I have had three over the last 15 years and will probably get another. I don't fit the demographic, only 40 years old. Phil Brady. 
High Efficiency Dynamic Speaker Suggestions Please
Jaybo, any amp suggestions? The hypex class d sound very good to me and I thought my speakers were voiced with them. Phil Brady

Ditusa, thanks for the response and the JBL recommendation. I am curious, what do you recommend for ideal placement? Also, what amp are you using? Phil Brady.

Try going to Guitar Center or a local music store and try a powered monitor. This is the simplest and most dynamic arrangement. I have my eye on a set of Mackie MR8 monitors for $500. Phil Brady 
Odyssey Lorelei vs Von Scheikert Vr4jr
You must try the the VS with high damping factor amp. I use them with UCD Class D amps and think the bass is first class. CHannel Island, Bel Canto, or PS Audio are excellent choices. Phil Brady. 
What's better than the Jolida JD100
Iabsolutely agree with Mijknarf. The Consonance has more detail and pace. Phil Brady. 
Extreme low budget amp w phono & "reputation"?
HK 3480 will be it new. Looks great and matches your speakers.All of the used recommendations are good. Phil Brady 
Full Volume Issue
The cd player is in the first output, not the number three which is theater bypass. The power isn't to the pre at all. The remote for the tv isn't used, I power the tv up by pushing the power button on the tv. I will contact NuForce. Thanks for th... 
Full Volume Issue
Bob, thanks for responding. This happens when the tv is turned on by pushing the power button. The tv remote isn't used. Also the preamp doesn't power up at all but the volume comes through full blast. Phil Brady. 
Acoustic doors?
I would suggest solid core door, not a panel door. Prehung on an exterior frame. Order it without the sill and get a surface mount or recessed automatic door bottom. In addition to the weatherstrip installed in the frame get some surface mounted a...
