Diva , PSB , Dynaudio or Meadowlark ?
It seems that Soliloquy is a winner so far with Diva running a close 2nd. I had looked at them and forgot it. Didn't think I could afford the 6.3 and am not quite sold on a two way yet. Their 5.3 and the Meadowlark are both 2 way speakers. I had a... 
To tone control or not to tone control
Dekay & Gregm, I saw a picture of the MF x-tone. From what I could see it looked like a 2 band parametric type EQ. Is this correct and is it your opinion that it would sound better than running the Adcom thru the processor loop as Bruce has su... 
Speakers with built in sub any good?
Greg, My room is 15'x20' with a 12'x12' dining room at the end with no wall of separation. This gives me a 32' from wall to wall. The LR (15x20) has a vaulted ceiling

Cornfedboy, I did check into the Z systems digital EQ. It retails for $2500 which i thought was pricey. Their literature seems to indicate that it hooks between the DAC and transport of your cdp so unless you are running separates you cannot use i...

Thanks Greg. Your comments have been insightful and helpful. As for my comments about the purists, they were meant for humor and not for insult. Hope no one takes it the wrong way. 
To tone control or not to tone control
I understand that tone controls add distortion. You are right Greg when you say that the system is more revealing now. This started with the addition of the CJ amp. However I am using Sorbathane isolation pads with cdp , and have replaced ic's wit... 
What s your latest buy? Happy with it?
I just received my Conrad Johnson PFR preamp to go with a CJ MF-2200 amp that I purchased at Christmas time. The PFR really matches well with the amp. This CJ stuff is really sweeeeet. Next on the agenda; speakers

Hey Phild, You are the one who told me about Norh in a previous post. Audioreview also has 3 reviews which it gets a 5 point rating.

Timvis, I've considered a tube preamp but have seen none with a processor loop. If Sedond is right, hooking it thru a tape loop may be a hassle but still worth considering. Thanks to both of you for the info.

Thanks Sugarbrie for the info on the PFR on auction. I have seen it and will probably bid on it after I pass it thru my Board of Administration (wife). She may just go for it since she likes the CJ amp as much or more than I do. I'm not sure of th... 
Do I really need a preamp?
OK boys and girls, you,ve made a believer out of me. Actually I thought I knew the answer already but wanted to check with others before making a final descision. I had tried both ways but a faulty cable had caused some intermintent problems that ... 
Has anyone heard Dynaco tube CD player
Hey Trelja, I've tried to get info on the Cambridge but have had no luck. Their web page gives no info. Where did you get yours and do you know where I can get some info on this player?

Check out the Adcom GTP 450. It is discontinued now and replaced by the GTP 502. You can find a fairly new 450 for $250-350 or spring for a new 502 for about $525. Check out their web page for details.
