| Audio Research Reference 250 capacitor issue Agree that that repair fee is a rip for an amp that is essentially new really ARC? | |
| What makes Telefunken tubes sound better? OK, let's cut the politics, shall we? People are here to learn about tubes. | |
| Marantz NA8005 opinions vs. Oppo ? Rgd,Unfortunately, my files are Apple lossless, not super hi-res, and Pandora One streaming (which I mostly play thru the USB port) is limited res as well. Don't have a good answer on that one. | |
| Marantz NA8005 opinions vs. Oppo ? I currently have the CD6005, which uses the same DAC and analog modules as the NA8005. This player sounds superb, and lossless files played via the USB port sound superb as well. Even a digital Pandora stream played thru the DAC sounds great balan... | |
| best CD player new or used for $1200 Am listening to Mark Knopfler on my Marantz CD6005 as we speak, and it sounds damn good. Just got it 2 days ago ($500) and am super impressed smooth, engaging, and balanced thru my FirstWatt/Quicksilver set up. I'd check it out before putting down... | |

Do this: sit 4 ft directly in from of your speaker and listen to vocals from a ... | |
| Speakers that turn your analytical mind off? Spendor SP1/2s of course with the right front end. | |
| Your favourite recording label? I agree with Concord. Every Concord recording in my collection is just superb in every way. | |

| Jolida JD102CRC Yep, your NAD amp is superb. I actually preferred my little NAD 25 watter to the 102B that I had for a short while. I'd pick up a used Quicksilver line stage for anywhere from $600-750 (depending on age and remote) to feed your NAD. They come in e... | |
