| Out of curiosity, where does everyone live? You live in heaven or hell, depending on the current state of your audio anxiety?Or... maybe limbo?..Nirvana?Or in the state of confusion?

| Adcom GDA-700 not working The cost of just buying another one used is about the same as the cost of fixing it.I own a GDA 700 (and a 600 too) | |
| Preamp suggestions for a Forte 4A & CEC TL5100Z? I own a Forte 4a and currently use an Adcom 750 pre.The best sound I had was with a Counterpoint 2000 tube/ss preamp. It broke a lot but had an exquisite sound.I would buy an Audio Research pre if I wanted to try a tube pre again... | |

| Adcom GDA-600/700 w/transport OR Rotel RCD-1072? I will chime in only because no-one else has answered you.I have both an Adcom DA600 and DA700.I have used them with a Rotel transport (bought new back in??? 1999???), and a Sony SCD777ES.The sound of the Sony as a transport totally destroyed the ... | |

| Adcom gfp 750....why so many for sale? They are made by Chinese Elves! They have evil spirits lurking inside, with bad vibes constantly emanating from them.They are constantly breaking down.They make other audiophiles smurk when they see it in your system.They sound like chopped horsem... | |
| Clever Little Clock - high-end audio insanity? Tice clock.. Yeah... Like millions are in use and EVERYONE knows it is the thing to have?NOT!The Tice clock disappeared. I guess it was a failure.If it really worked... they would still be selling them. | |
| Sand and shot? I used generic bluetack on my B&W805s stands.I made it super thin by kneading it with my fingers until them bled!1/32 inch thick (any thinner and it 'tears')The sound without, and screwed to base was too 'tight' in the bass and a bit bass shy.... | |
