| mid fi choices NAD vs Adcom vs Rotel ... $400 FivefastAgree with Bokfudo. NAD makes exceptional stuff. I have a 3020-based amp that has been problem free for 20 years.Here are some systems that sound fantastic on a budget. I have built these for my children, auditioned them or I own them.Digi... | |
| whats the finest recorded cd you've heard? Paul Kelly, May 1992. I also collect bootlegs. Purple Chick has done an incredible job with the Beatles Catalog that put their official releases to shame. | |
| Stevie Wonder-As I have been in the concert space for three decades and my favorite performance of all time was a private show Stevie played for a Bay Area software company in 2000. Despite telling the audience that he might "cut it short due to a bout of the Flu"... | |
| Beatles 1 sound quality? Try Purple Chick on the internet. Beatles at their sonic best. Google this and download. Very impressive. | |
| Can you point me to CDs with awesome stage? Paul Kelly, May 1992. | |
| What to do with bad recorded CDs I will still take a pint and the bar coaster. | |
| Any new up & coming high end speaker lines? I live in the pro studio world and very rarely audition consumer electronic products. We like to refer to your world as the "dark side," where consumers routinely get screwed buying into the hype of the next new and greatest sonic invention. I rel... | |

| The Reeses Cup: components that come together perf CPK: Permission to proceed. Continue to post. I hear it needs at least 500 hours of burning in. Would love to get frequent updates AND photos. Really, it is for Albert and Shadorne. | |
| CD's you bring for auditioning Spoon/Ga Ga Ga, Radiohead/Amnesiac, Tom Waits/Mule Variations | |
| The Reeses Cup: components that come together perf On the subject of the Fergie CDP, "ride hard and put away wet" comes to mind. | |
| Ear Candy: Most startling recordings. Radiohead Amnesiac. Will reduce most speakers to wimps with more curveballs than a drunken pitcher. | |
| The Reeses Cup: components that come together perf Fergie, she is a local girl. I can see my nuts in a jar by the nightstand. My wife is from Argentina. | |
| The Reeses Cup: components that come together perf I would go for it but it has an unacceptable Wife Acceptance Factor here in the US. As a second system, I might like the Cruz 104s matched to Shakira amps. I would keep that system in Spain or Columbia. |
