Vinyl vs. CD & HD from A.C.A...
I enjoy good digital and good analog. Therefore I feel a choice is unnecessary. I own excellent examples of both.However, it is lame to compare the topologies and expect them to sound similar. They don't and never will. That was point and perhaps ...

Balanced Cable recommendations for Ayre equipment
>>there are far better alternatives<<If their speakers, cd player, tonearm, cartridge, and LISTENING PREFERENCES, were identical to yours that might be true.Undoubtedly they are not.Cables are system and listener dependent. Yours are n...

>>I believe that you have to settle for less than optimum playback on that last song.<<Totally disagree.

>>I would challenge any of you to defend in theory and in measurement what you judge to be a superior amp<<Au contraire."We" have nothing to defend.It's you that's been doing all the talking.
