| Looking for speaker suggestions I second the Harbeths, ATC, and Tannoys ... Just dont know if your ARC and Levsin are SS or tube or hybrid. I had a pair of Klipsch, and i had the same issues with "horn burnout" from the higher pitches and higher frequencies bouncing off walls.I ... | |

| Reference disc player...UDP 205 or Marantz? @Jafant, "I was disappointed w/ the Oppo 105D after reading so many glowing reviews.

| Tube integrated As stated, the XLR requirement greatly limits the search.B/c everything else you want screams "PrimaLuna". It is the obvious choice to me, not only b/c i can attest to its grace and power, but b/c it is basically an awesome "blueprint" of a tubed ... | |

| Reference disc player...UDP 205 or Marantz? All I can say is that the only thing greater than my anticipation of the Oppo 95 on its way to me in the mail, was the disappointment I had after all my high expectations were crushed by reality. I sold it a few months later.And to be fair, the Op... | |

| Best redbook-only CD Player under $10k - Bryston BCD3, Resolution Audio Cantata 3.0, .... Take a look at the high end used SimAudio-Those CD Players, particularly, the "Special Edition" models are built like tanks, and came with a 20 year Warranty. I mean, that is unheard of for CD players b/c of the moving parts. And yes, they made su... | |
