| Looking for the best CD 3-4k Surprise yourself, purchase a $60 refurb Sony 595 from Sony Style and see if 3-4K is needed. This is a fearsome test of your ears, and how open minded you can be. Go where no audiophile dares to go, cheap. | |
| Review: Appogg Systems Isolation Platform Tweak Seems a DIY sand box will be an alternative solution, at much less expense. It has been proven, time and time again, that short of a double blind test, your ears hear what they want to hear. Enjoy. | |

I use them on lead filled Chicago stands. I also have other ProAc units and some Roy Allison units. And y... | |

| Tips for designing listening room from scratch Read Toole's 'Sound Reproduction' book before you do anything. Lots of information on home theatre considerations. Remember, the video is the easy part of the design, the audio the most difficult. Many years ago I did a room and it was a fustratin... | |
| Blu ray and SACD Playstation 3 has one added feature, that is the ability update firm ware. I've played blu audio and sacd of the same materials and the sound beats red book stuff. | |
| Good looking and nice glass speaker stands Yikes, Yikes to any glass in your listening room. Try covering your windows with nice drapes and you will see a postive difference in your sound. Acrylic is another material that has no place in high end components. VPI just moved to aluminum on i... |
