What Would you Trade your System FOR?
Hay cornfed you sound like you have an arrangment like this going already, is that how you got those Eidolon's??LOL! My only question is who gets the dog? I mean you can't cut him in half. 
Best DVD/CD Player to buy
Sony DVPs-9000ES gets my vote, smokes most anything in the price range and is so versatile. Very upgradeable too, I am working on a serious upgrade to mine about another 1500 into it but then it will do everything I need it to do. Also as mentione... 
What Would you Trade your System FOR?
Lornecherry I agree, I have driven tons of cars and one of my buddies has a 360 modena and there is nothing like it, period. A viper can be fast but has no panache, similar to a stang, camaro or even a vette. Out of your 'resonable' choices the Bo... 
What Would you Trade your System FOR?
An endless flow of money, women and hell I would start drinking again! Or I suppose I would give it up for the right girl...but I think the 'right girl' would encourage my hobby and help me recreate it(though I am sure her voice would be all the m... 
Anyone under 30?
True Ryhno, I have given up drinking completely(yes this means that I will no longer be involved with drink threads) in order to fund my stereo hobby a little better. And I also happen to be single so I can spend how I wish, so I have your 2 spend... 
Cables that make no sense...
This reminds me of some reports of audiophile spending, see what percentage folks spend on amps, speakers, pre-amps, cables....etc, then factor in the most of over looked software. Starts getting fairly scary when you have to add EVERYTHING up and... 
Anyone under 30?
Hey Kirk just for the record I was kidding, I am NOT selling my gear, nor will I ever. If the afghanies bomb me and I lose power I will use the generator to power the system to hell with refrigerator and heat. The joys of being young, single and s... 
Anyone under 30?
Geez Kirk that was depressing. I think I am going to sell all me gear now, I've got nothing to look forward to. I was under the impression that it got better with age, I guess that is one of the problems with youth, it makes so many mistakes. Just... 
Tubes Tubes Tubes...
I have heard similiar that some folks double the power of a tube amp, in comparison to a solid state. I don't get it??? But I have noticed little if any "power" problems and I recently went from a solid state 200watt/channel amp to a 60watt/channe... 
Cables that make no sense...
I agree with Gthrush1 to a certain extent.... I woulds much rather have a serious software collection, and OK cables. But rationality does not go hand and hand with this hobby, as we all know or we would not be here. One man's sane is another's in... 
Anyone under 30?
You guys are OLD!! I am only 20, I think that is why some folks don't agree/like my ideas/opinions, I have been into to audio since I was 17 and have a fairly serious system already(retail value in the mid to high 30's). I am now upgrading things ... 
Fourplay ...yes please Jazz CD
I just got back to this thread, you guys are killing me!!! What do you clasify smooth jazz as if it is not jazz? Pop? Lighten up not all of us are 60 years old, I just can't get into most of the really old stuff that most of you guys refer to as "... 
What amplification do you suggest for Magnepan MG20.1?
If money is not an issue try cello, Rowland or the ultimate set up of 4-BAT VK-150se tube amps bi-amp the drivers if possible. I would not think of using anything 'cheap' on speakers like that, Keith gave you lots of good suggestions so take your ... 
Help with Avalon Opuses
Sounds like an awesome setup, I would look into gettting the best Jeff Rowland you can afford or add a little bit and try tubes like BAT VK-120 mono's. I tried to get a rowland model 5 but ran into a lot of problems, and ended up getting a BAT VK-... 
Bryston 4B-ST vrs Adcom 565 monos
Get the 565's and send them out to be modified, they will smoke just about any amp near there price. I find it hard to believe the 4bst is as powerful as the 565 'welder' despite what it says on paper compare the insides of the two, the 565 is so ...
