| Cary 303 CD - Very Detailed - Fixes? it sounds like you bought the cary w/o 1st auditioning it in your system. that's a shame, cuz (really) you need to start all over, using the cary as your reference point for everything else. frustrating, huh? learn by your mistakes and recognize t... | |
| Mapleshade Recordings..GREAT or what? nanderson: sorry, i don't get your point. are you saying that mapleshades are "good" becuz they can be emperically verified as being "superior recordings" in some way? becuz they are supposedly used by AR to voice their equipment? or what? for som... | |
| CD playback - 1 box or 2 duh, no. | |
| All-time best recordings for romance kennyt. depends on whether you're into fish or camels (the animal, not the cancer stick). to each his own, eh? BTW, what the hell went wrong with your taste after the zappa concert? tori amos? portishead? i'd prefer eating my own vomit. but then t... | |

| Best MFSL pressing I find nothing particularly sensational on gold or aluminum mfsl cds. there are, tho, some best-ever lps .csn&y: deja vu; ricki lee jones: euponymous; the entire beatles collection but especially white album; uhqrs: sgt.. pepper and dsotm. | |
| TacT Room Correction System processors i don't know the tact but it sounds like its "purpose" is similar to that intended for the accuphase dg-28. check it out on their website. | |
| Rowland/Levinson preamp LISTEN FOR YOURSELF & DON'T BUY EITHER WITHOUT AUDITIONING BOTH -- IN YOUR SYSTEM. i'm biased in favor of the jrdg, having owned numerous of jeff's products. my a/b listening of the madrigal v. jrdg always has the same result: levinson (the pr... | |
| Rowland/Levinson preamp it's really pretty simple: the jrdg amp will sound best with the jrdg pre; same for the levinson. i'd most assuredly not recommend mixing and matching. these products are very different from one another, sonically and otherwise. BTW, it just ain't... | |
