| New power for my Nautilus 805's - Integrated Amps? Consider the Naim Nait 5i at $1350 new.

I am most impressed with what I got for the money, especially when I used a good power cable. Feel ... | |

| Best CDP under $1000 for Roksan Caspian Amp? The Jolida 100 or the Rega Jupiter are good candidates under $1000. The Arcam FMJ CD23 is well worth the extra $200. I compared the above three and bought the Arcam. | |

| Amp Recommendations for Acoustat 1+1s Consider the Adcom GFA-5802 at about $875 used on Audiogon. I never tried it on the 1+1, but experimented with it for a long time on my friend's pair of Magnepan MG 1.6QRs. The 1.6QRs are very hard to drive, but the 5802 drove them very well and d... | |
