| older CD transport vs newer ones. All transport does is spin the cd and a laser reads it, signal to your dad. Don’t waste money on a CD player without a dac. The tascam CD player is good and reliable, the sound comes from your dac, save money, spend it on music | |
| Upgrade my CD player or futile effort? I would have bought the Rotel CD player. | |

| Recommendations and thoughts for end game speakers and amps Heard the Roger Sanders speakers and amps while back, was one of the best I’ve ever heard.bass, mids, highs, all near perfect. Those Magtech amps are something special! Sanders sound! | |
| DIY concrete stands Should be fine.picked up a 4 inch granite square from a home improvement shop for my TT.IF IT GETS rid of vibration, don’t know, but looks nice.also a pair of matching butcher blocks for my amps, they look nice on a nice hunk of cherry stained woo... | |
| Does the Mark Levinson 331 suck? Great reputation. Never a fan of Levinson. Something with the sound, just don’t catch me audibly. The bass seems sluggish, and midrange is not as crunchy as it should be. If you love the amp, enjoy! | |
| High end high quality int. amp for low level listening 4 Ohm and 86db. Get an amp that is reliable and stable into a 4Ohm load, which has a solid power supply and will give you a good 300-400WPC into A 4 Ohm load. My opinion and experience. | |
| Which amp would you choose and why - Pass Labs XA-25 or First Watt F8? These flea watt amps are a niche possession. Get 250-300W min. !!! Headroom, the airy effortless sound will be awesome. Even a 25W amp will clip very easily on average to med-high volume. I learned my lesson years ago, I’m NOT saying Nelson... | |
| Low-sensitivity speakers — What's special about them? Nothing “special” bout them. You may need a more powerful amp. Or depending what the speaker load is 4Ohm? Mine are somewhat higher, BUT, the highs are rolled off, so they seem and ARE warmer sounding. Recording dependent is huge, a good rec... | |

| Demos - To Charge a Fee or to Not Charge a Fee? That sounds great! When I’m done listening to the amp/speaker pair,I will gladly accept a check for my time. Will use the $ for lunch after listening to their components! There is a high end audio place by me who never, not once have ever g... | |
