| Rega P25, would it sound better than my CDP? "sound better" is a tough call.Remember it will sound different, and have some noise, much higher maintenance.I went 'back' to LP again... and can say if you have a good/cheap plentiful supply of used LPs, then it is worth going to LP.If you have ... | |

| Top loading CD Player clearances I have 5 inches clearance for my Sony SCD777-Es toploader and that is plenty.At 55lbs it cannot sit safely on the top shelf of the tall shelf system I use, (and I can't safely lift it up there anyway!!!) So it is on the second lowest shelf. | |
| Aural assault? Lucky for me my job does not allow any personal music at all to be broadcast into the public/staff areas. Earphones only, and no leakage allowed!Wonderful silence!Worst place is Best Buy. Really LOUD, with REALLY LOUD THUMPING from the car stereo ... | |

(and of course, Sony has now dropped all plasma display TV... 8^(The reason was it had the best picture, to me.If I had to do it again, I would have been more careful about the func... | |

| Is upgrade from Revel M20 to Revel F30 worth it? I was seriously listening to the M20 and the F30 at a dealer (who no longer carries the line)At the time (pre Revel buyout and move) the M20's soundedabout the same as the F30's but the bass in the F30's was exaggerated.
