| Comparison between Thiel 3.6 and 2.4 I've heard the 3.6 and 2.3, so this is subjective, in as much as these were the ones I liked/could afford at the time. The 3.6 didn't seem to "converge" the sound as well as the 2.3, even though the bass was deeper. For whatever reason, I felt the... | |

| Review: Green Mountain Audio Callisto Monitor Drubin-I should have went more into detail on the music I listened to while reviewing these sppeakers. I have classical Cds, purchased some of the Mercury SACDs, and have been picking up vintage classical LPs of excellent sound quality. The GMA's ... | |
| best CD player or DAC under $1000 True, but it never hurts to see what's available for the $$$.IMHO, there's only one to consider for $1000: APL/Pioneer 563a. The mod will cost you $600, and sure, you will have to find a 563a for APL to modify, but the results are more than worth ... | |
