| Amplifier is now off the Power Conditioner With power conditioners there is no way to know for sure until you try and see. Some integrated and power amps improved with some power conditioners and some not. Many other factors are going on within any given system/room/electrical system. So t... | |
| Crimson Music Link RM spk cable: Hype or high Q? I favored Crimson interconnects (single-ended) to their speaker cables with LFD amplification and Harbeth speakers. When I bought they had buy, try and return if not for you policy, so little to lose but shipping cost back to Crimson. | |
| Best sounding new DAC under $2500? Analog-sounding is over used term in audio and does not necessarily mean better or that you'll like. You just must try before you buy (from manufacturer with fair return policy) with your gear in your listening space. Relying upon online opinions ... | |
| Stopped looking for the best system I can relate and after many deaths of those close to me reality really intrudes and changes ones past paradigm. For many audiophiles these what matter matters are way down the road or so they may think. Soon enough though, it's dehumanizing medica... | |
| Sony - What were you thinking? Another consideration (although some might consider it a superficial oversight) is that top model HAP-Z1 is only available in silver. Sony's last (2007 launch) top audio ES player was the XA5400ES disc player only available in black in US. Sony ha... | |

I'm concluding with an integrated amp, set of speakers, decent cables, modified disc player and music server/dac. I have a p... | |

| Music Server vs Computer? A real can of worms and opinions abound. You definitely should head over to computer audio nerd central at computeraudiophile dot com as previous poster mentioned. | |
| Redbook CD Is Not Dead Many reside is areas where affordable unlimited access from their ISP is unavailable. In my two prior residences I had unlimited internet access with relatively fast download speeds. The internet service in my current location is limited and the I... | |
| Redbook CD Is Not Dead Many good points made here. I tweaked 2009 Mac Mini and added some very nice ancillary gear to use with the Mini I read about on Computer Audiophile. Big deal. I still love playing CD's (and SACD's). I have had more than a few occasions where I wa... | |
| R.I.P. Lou Reed I appreciated his empathy for the underbelly of society, for the freaks, the losers, the junkies. In the day and to this day my favorite cut is 'Heroin' off their debut LP. Lou really captured the gut and soul of smack use like no one else. | |
