| Last CD player? I was significantly outbid for the Esoteric; but I did get an Oppo BDP-95 for a little over half what they seemed to be going for and about $100 less than the lowest I have seen. I can't wait until it arrives! | |
| Where is the significant point of diminishing returns on hi-end turntable? "Apparently the analog forum has become a status forum as opposed to what is stated. Notice the statements made by expensive sports cars. "The following is not based on any real persons living or dead and any resemblance to any serious remark is t... | |

| Integrated Amplifier for Monitor Audio Silver S2 Speakers The Belles Aria is well within or below your price point. You could sell the S2s and use the proceeds and change to buy some towers.If you like the S2s a lot and want to get an integrated that doesn't cost more than the speakers, I've found Rotel ... | |
| Interconnect cables for turntable This guy did a nice job for me. I asked for 24g conductor (thinner wire is better for tiny phono signals I’m told and it lowered the cost) DIN plug, custom length, etc. He did it all. Nice improvement on an Alexandria with a Denon DL-301. They don... | |
| Looking for SACD player............ yyzsantabarbarsI can't seem to find a way to message you in AG. Is there some other way to contact you? | |
| Looking for SACD player............ Has anyone heard of a player using the new ESS DAC chip, the ES9028PRO?I bet when players with it start hitting the market (Oppo BDP-205?) the asking price of used players will drop considerably. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Reubent!I didn’t think Romeo Void was issued on LP. Love warm in your coat, but I only have the CD.Also, I have a few C. Simon SACDs on my wish list. Maybe I’ll save some money and search out some vinyl. The problem is that my 2 CS LPs are pretty ... | |
| Cartridge recommendations @sunnyjim Please don't hold the sanctimonious, self-promoting preachings of some put you off of this fine forum. I certainly interpreted your post as a request for information. @tablejockey & @oleschool, I too looked at the ART-9 before I bo... | |
| Cartridge recommendations Maybe a Denon DL-301 would be a closer sound to the Shelter than the 103. | |
| Last CD player? I have my eye set on an Esoteric DV-50. My system is a 100 WPC Rotel receiver, which I think sounds wonderful with my Canton Ergo floorstanders. None of my cables cost more than $70. My question is should I expect to be able to hear a significant ... | |
| Where is the significant point of diminishing returns on hi-end turntable? How about a relative way of looking at it such as ’equal to the amount spent on speakers’ or ’1.5 x amp + pre’?I just did a quick calculation: I spent 66% more on my analog front end than on my speakers. In fact the analog front end was almost e... | |
| Where is the significant point of diminishing returns on hi-end turntable? @mmporsche Let me make a proposition. I will gladly spend day after day auditioning TT/TA/pre/cartridge combinations until I find THE one that resonates with heaven. I will bring it to you and if you allow me, set it up. (I have such fun doing th... | |
| Long lost songs I haven't found Gary White performing his own composition, "Long Long Time"; but I did get a version by Melanie. It's on her Silver Anniversary double CD and it is a nice interpretation.I'll still hunt for Gary. |
