Saw the link and I got Cheapskate thinking about it...is it real or just a hoax? New York and Chicago could work!

What could be better? Great audio and a Cubs game!

Just hooked up my Crown Xti-2000 to a Crown IC-150 pre-amp, and I have a lot of hum and some buzz. The IC-150 pre-amp outputs are going the Xti-2000 with an RCA to XLR cable. The hum is ridiculous. how do I solve this? I had and Onkyo M504 hooked up to the system just before I hooked up the Crown and there was no hum at all. Can I run the amp with nothing in the inputs just to see if it's the unbalanced leads going into a balanced inputs causing the problem?

Ain't that the religion Madonna made up or subscribes too? Now it's a piece of wire too, see, i told you it's MAGIC ! http://kubala-sosna.com/news/stereophile_review.pdf

Hi folks, nice to be along. I recently picked up a Craftsmen Stradivarius receiver, that looks and sounds great. Can anyone give me any info at all on this unit? I probably will try selling it in the future. Thanks very much! Jim

I've been a jazz fan for years, but only very recently purchased a mid-fi system(NAD C372 amp, NAD C542 CD player, Vandersteen 1 C speakers. LOVE it!) Anyway, after doing nothing but downloading music for the last few years, I venture back into the good 'ol cd store and grab a few jazz cd's, problem is, some sound like sh%$T!
