How do you determine how much to spend on speakers
I didn't read this whole thread because I'm not a masochist. But I read Robert Harley's book and he advised spending 50% on speakers. I found myself unable to do that, because the speakers I liked didn't cost that much money, and my analog and dig... 
PSB Imagine Minis or Audioengine A5+?
I vote "Not likely" to the PSB/NAD set-up being 3x better than the AudioEngine A5+ (based on cost). If you are really planning to just use the one source through your DAC, I would think the multiple inputs on the integrated amp would be wasted. I ... 
EKCO EV55SE & Vandersteens
which vandersteens? i'm auditioning the cronus magnum/vandersteen 2ce sig II combo this week. i hadn't really considered the ekco, but was considering the eastern electric m88. my main problem, though, is my need to audition it to make sure i like... 
The best CD Player for the money
Guys, I've been waiting 11 years to buy a CD player. Do you think you could find one that everyone agrees on and let me know? I'd appreciate it. 
Modwright sony xa5400 vs Modwright Oppo 95
One question for both JMW and Rfogel8. I apologize if I just missed it, but could you clarify that these listening impressions are based on redbook and SACD. My redbook collection is probably 100 times larger than my SACD collection, so redbook pl... 
Rega Brio R vs Wyred or Bel Canto
while they can be extremely helpful, reviews aren't everything. especially since you're considering a modified product. i suppose there's no way to audition the modded music hall, so it might help if you posted a thread asking for feedback on that... 
Rega Brio R vs Wyred or Bel Canto
smart man. i think the surest path to audio bliss is to assemble a system you like well enough and then never look at an audio magazine or forum again. my only real problem with the vandersteens is that they occupy the living room like twin monoli... 
NOLA Boxers in my space
if raekwon ever hopes to break through to the audiophile market, he's going to need to lose mary j. blige and get diane krall on a remix. 
Modwright sony xa5400 vs Modwright Oppo 95
ask, and you shall receive! thanks, rfogel8! would you please be so kind as to update the thread after you get your modded oppo and have a chance to do a side by side comparison? i think what you refer to as "blather" would provide a useful refere... 
Rega Brio R vs Wyred or Bel Canto
selling stuff is a pain in the ass, especially if you are OCD about packing like i am. would you mind answering a question? you seem to have had a number of amps, including the primaluna, lfd,and exposure. which of these did you use with the harbe... 
Rega RS-3
you're a man for all seasons! :) 
Modwright sony xa5400 vs Modwright Oppo 95
people with extended listening impressions of both units seem to be rarer than hen's teeth, but here's something to add to the impressions category:http://www.head-fi.org/t/522131/modwright-sony-xa-5400es-truth-modsit'd be great if robert levi at ... 
Rega RS-3
Schubert would you mind telling me what amp you are using with your RS3s? 
Rega Brio R vs Wyred or Bel Canto
Although I haven't heard all of the equipment you've mentioned together, my gut says "No." I'm actually a fan of Bel Canto's implementation of Class D amplification, and am considering a purchase later next year of that same unit to go with my Ohm... 
Are CD players dead
i think you were flamed because of your username. :)two things i don't understand about these discussions. 1. the whole "no more cds" after 2012 is a rumor. some nameless execs are cited in a news source most people don't regularly read. it's not ...
