Do you think LP needs break-in to sound its best?
To greatly improve the sound quality of your new vinyl records, go outside into your driveway on a warm sunny day with your new records, thusly remove from the sleeves and place the records on the hood of your car for exactly forty three minutes, ... 
AVM AUDIO
Calvinj...If your after a warm sounding CD player find a brand that uses Wolfson DAC's. The British are very fond of Wolfson since they have a warm, detailed relaxed character that is very analog sounding. If you win the Powerball, then buy the be... 
CODA CSIb vs. HEGEL H-300 INTEGRATED
Correction..the CSIb puts out 660 watts into 4ohms..not 600. Coda Engineers were part of the Threshold team with Nelson Pass back in the 80's. The three Engineer's founded Continuum/Coda in 1989 since Nelson left and founded Pass Labs. 
Hegel H300
Another Integrated amplifier that may be a better investment than the Hegel H-300 is the CODA CSIb which has better build quality than the Hegel with a larger power supply and a transformer twice as large as the one in the Hegel. WBT binding post ... 
CODA CSIb vs. HEGEL H-300 INTEGRATED
Spoke to Doug at Coda yesterday. The CSIb will be going up in price in several months. It is one of the very few integrated amps on the market that will easily drive 1ohm loads. Great for Maggies. 
Differences between Accuphase C-2820 and C-3800?
Thank You Nvp for your positive, polite response. My hope is to keep things civil even though I have a tendency to have an acidic bite from time to time. I'll refrain and keep things polite. Looking at a cutaway of the AttenuatorPotentiometer inte...

Emotiva amplifiers review/experience?
Josh358..A good alternative if one's on a budget is buy a used Parasound HCA-1500 amp. You can pick one up for about $700.00 or $800.00. I bought one new years ago at 50% off from Audio Advisor on a discontinued close out sale. Very musical and po... 
Differences between Accuphase C-2820 and C-3800?
Nvp... You are in outer space and LaLa land on the tech info on the two Pre-amps. The C-2810 uses teflon copper circuit boards. The glass cloth flourocarbon resin boards are only used in the C-3800 and the new C-2820. This board material is extrem... 
Best value in speaker cables??
Best darn value in speaker cables that will equally perform against cables costing $3K. Audio Art Cable out of San Diego and their SC-5SE cables. Ten foot pair costs $705.00 and are far superior to Morrow Cables. Have very high quality locking ban... 
Differences between Accuphase C-2820 and C-3800?
Baloney. I have no idea who Dave is. Arturo is the only exclusive wholesale Distributor for Accuphase in the United States. He is very objective in his assessment and has more experience with Accuphase than anyone else in the country. He is not my... 
Differences between Accuphase C-2820 and C-3800?
Nvp..you obviously haven't read the technical changes on the Accuphase website. Just one of many major changes is using superior circuit boards that were not in the C-2810 such as glass cloth flourocarbin resin boards. The power supply in the 2820... 
Emotiva amplifiers review/experience?
Emotiva is a cheap man's Parasound. It makes more sense to save a little more and wait a little longer and buy the monster Parasound A21 Amp from Audio Advisor for $2300.00 and buy the outstanding Pre-amp from Wyred4Sound the STP-SE for $2000.00. ...
