| Any experience with Cary phono stages? If you are in the market for a real high end phono stage, then you owe it to yourself to try an Aesthetix IO phono stage. Just a recommendation. | |
| Need help : Single ended, Low power, SET amps.. Tweek, the plus is that they have low power. The minus is that they have low power. Low power sounds better because of less gain stages, tubes, and complexity.(All else being equal). Low power cannot drive most of the available speakers to a reaso... | |
| For All You CCR Fans Haven't tried the 180g yet, but have an original copy of Cosmo's Factory. Recording quality is very good. "Have You Ever Seen The Rain" is a must-have classic song. | |

| Sony DVP 9000 I have a 9000 and it plays great redbook. The SACD sounds better, but the redbook is excellent for the price point. This unit has a fairly long break in period, so don't be too critical right off if you get a new one. 200 hours on the CD laser is ... | |

| How Can I Play DVD-A? There is a Pioneer model out there for around $500 or so, called the 47A, I think that's the number. It is the cheapest one that I have heard about. Many DVD players that have separate audio playback for SACD or DVDA have TV menus for setup. You c... | |
