| Are "Redbook Only " CD players Obsolete? Since most stores that sell recordings have Redbook CDs as about 80 - 90% of their stock, I would have to say that Redbook CD players could hardly be considered obsolete. As for your statement regarding the Marantz universal player, you are of cou... | |
| Why I love analog, part II Unbeliveably well said - bravo!As an aside, any recommendations for a favourite recording of the Mozart Clarinet Concerto? | |
| Your First Hi-Fi Hankering? Pioneer HPM 100 speakers (about 1978). Thought they were absolutely the cat's ass, but way out of my league at about $700. Really got hit with the bug when the NAD gear came out in 1981, and still have my original 3020 integrated. Things just got ... | |

| Best Speaker Placement Rules you've used? Put them where they sound good.Seriously. | |
| Cheap Backup Amp Needed You might also consider an Aragon 4004. Reasonably priced, much better than reasonable sound. | |
| Should we have an Audiophiles Anonymous NO!!! I don't need any help. There is no problem - I can stop buying gear anytime I want to. I just don't want to...yet. | |
| Anyone else feel left out? In my family room upstairs I am currently enjoying a Musical Fidelity A3 CD player ($500 used), a Blue Circle CS integrated ($1149 new), and Energy C7 speakers ($ 700 used). It would suit your musical tastes very well, and is reasonably good looki... | |

| Thoughts on vibration elimination... Twl:Okay, so effective vibration dissipation is what we're after here. See, I'm learning already!Actually, I am aware of your affiliation with Starsound and was hoping that you would jump in here. Another question if I may - do the sistrum platfor... | |
| Moving, time for new speakers? John:I went throough the same sort of thing last year. You are far better off to set your rig up in the new room and try it first to see where the deficiencies are, or indeed if you have any. If you are happy with your current gear, try to set the... | |
| Older PURE CLASS-A Amplifiers I'm pretty sure you can get the Monarchy SM70 and run it as a mono amp. Two of them run as mono blocks would be relatively inexpensive, and very good sounding. | |
| Recomendations for simple CD transport Any version of the Audiomeca Mephisto transport will work well. The 1 and 2x versions are the more reliable. The 1 version is a real steal used. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? I need a jumpstart - tonight it's going to be UZEB "Live At Bracknell", probably followed by either Manteca "No Heros" or Chick Corea "Light Years". Then we'll see how long I can go without nodding off. Sadly, 10 years ago, before I could afford a... | |
| Do Any High End Speakers Boogie/Rock? BW 804 Blues If you want to rock, get a pair of Aerial Model 10ts, or a pair of PMC IB1s. They will get your freak on for sure. |
