| Fidelity Research FR-64 vs. FR-54 Um, hello out there. Has anyone heard the OP's question? Cuz I got to this thread by googling the same. He didn't ask for comparisons between the FR64S and the Denon DA307. The FR64, in all it's versions I believe, is dynamically balanced and the ... | |

| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report The Band - Cahoots, SHM-SACD. My first SHM. I'm trying to decide if I like it. I don't have any other version to compare it with except one track, Life Is A Carnival, on a best of CD. The SHM seems very bright, thin is more like what I hear. I can... | |
