| The absolute best and worst-sounding CD you own ? M*A Recordings make sublime sounding CDs. Worst? Most all I bought in mid 80 when cds 1st came out. Gawdawful transfers. | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Chad Lawson - The Chopin Variations | |
| Bryston 4B Cubed vs Hegel H360 vs Benchmark AHB2 I owned the KEF Ref Ones a couple years ago, and sold them as I needed the cabbage. Miss them constantly. Anyhoo, for an office I don't think you need as much power as you think. I had my Sony ES integrated on them, and they kicked. Best I heard t... | |
| Schiit Vidar Monos or Adcom GFA-565se or Rotel RB-1582 MKII If you could provide even less information on your system, that would be helpful. | |
| Looking for speaker recommendations that I can purchase on Amazon.com Also a fan of Indian classical. I've seen Zakir Hussein live several times. Also, and you won't believe me but it's true: I shook Ravi Shankar's hand backstage after a show in MN, in 2003. His daughter was 1st set, and both 2nd set. Anyhoo my dad ... | |

| Need recommendations for inexpensive power cord Anticables! | |
| Octave v70se OR v80se Octave makes supremely good amps. I had the 40 on loan for a few weeks with my KEF Ref One and it was the best I ever heard them. Heck the 40 is a beast and will dig your Dyns. | |
| Devore O/96 vs Volti Rivals Dig high eff? Ever heard Sonist Concerto 4 ? | |
| Daber 2: better speaker in the world for $1k? Yes actually: Zu Omen dirty weekend. | |
| Another Free Tip That Yields Better Sound! I've worn specs since a kid, and thought about this also. I believe there's a sensory effect, removing the visual element (ie rig now blurry) and therefore the auditory becomes acute. More focus on ears, less on eyes. That's my theory anyhoo. Rela... | |
| Looking for a music server, sans DAC. Sony HAPZ now allows for direct rips via usb hard drive. | |
