| Granite Under Speakers Over A Wood Floor Robert C. Maicks: as ceo of star sound technologies, llc, you must get to pick the company's theme song, eh? i'd suggest you listen to track 4 of mark knopfler's latest cd, "sailing to philadelphia." just so you don't hafta look it up your busy li... | |
| Best SACD player? cw: IMO, the best "hard core audiophile" sacd player is the transport/dac combo made by accuphase (models DP-100 and DC-101). unfortunately, accuphase has yet to reduce the msrp on this pair from $28k (in the usa). nor would i expect them to do so... | |

| Amperage? as i understand it, the amp rating of the pc is not related to your household current but the amp into which it's to be plugged. certain amps (e.g., rowland, krell) use female mains sockets that require 20 amp cords. | |
| Rowland Concentra vs ........... onhwy61 makes excellent points, which i shan't repeat. i'd suggest, tho, that you also consider one of the accuphase integrateds. i think they better the jrdg but, as noted by mr. 61, you are the only judge whose vote counts (do try to avoid hangi... | |

| A twist on "Your absolute best..." i also have an edison and a collection of a couple hundred records. my most prized music maker, tho, is a regina music box. its made of mahogany and was completely restored about 20 years ago by a friend of an uncle, who brought rare antique autom... | |
