CD Cases / Furniture Recommendations?
Check out Sorice.com for furniture quality cabinets for your CD collections. Not the largest, but great quality. I have B-300 that holds much of my CD & DVD-R collections and will likely buy another in a year or so. 
Why spend megabucks on a tuner?
Sorry I'm late to this discussion. I have just replaced several components in my main listening system and am now listening through a wonderful pair of JM Lab 927Be Speakers. I've been a regular listener to two local stations - one classical and o... 
Quality CD Recorder with Analog inputs,suggestion
Well I have a Denon DN-C550R Professional CD Recorder and it makes superb quality copies. Best of all it has both RCA and Balanced inputs. While it is not the least expensive unit you can buy - you can be assured of many years of trouble-free CD r... 
JM Lab Speakers With McIntosh Amp?
Hi guys! Just to give you an update, I missed out on a pair of 926s that was advertised here on Audiogon some weeks ago. But I did manage to find pair of JM Lab 927Be Signature Speakers two weeks ago. Have only had them hooked up in my system for ... 
JM Lab Speakers With McIntosh Amp?
Many thanks to everyone for your comments and feedback. It's most appreciated. I WILL be moving into the JM Lab 926s this fall (and maybe doing some upgrading to newer McIntosh gear as well! 
Bose Wave Music system
For the same money you could buy an older McIntosh receiver and a pair of NHT speakers that will blow the Bose Wave system away.  
Good remote controled, used preamps out there.
Have you considered any of the McIntosh Preamps. Most of the later models have a phono preamp section that most reviewers find as good as many standalone phono preamps. And, of course, most models since the mid-1980s have a remote control of most ... 
Consumer Electronic Show ?
I was considering going this year - especially since I own a company that duplicates thousands of CDs, DVDs and videotapes. Also, for several years I've receieved the CES show brochures with the registration forms enclosed. I finally decided to re... 
HD Radio- Why no home tuners yet?
I think it's too little - too late for digital radio. Between Infinity, Clear Channel, and other biggies in radio broadcasting few people I know listen to most of the drivel on commercial AM & FM. Way too many commercials (especially during el... 
Is ebay feedback worth anything on Audiogon?
I am extremely cautious about anyone out there with little prior feedback and then gives the "E-Bay Feedback" line. Just for starters, my original E-Bay account has been terminated due to E-Bay's inability to stop someone that hacked my original a... 
MAM-A Mitsui vs. Taiyo Yuden - Which One?
I own a media duplication company and we have used many thousands of Taiyo Yuden discs. They are well made and thenumber of faulty discs we find are minimal. I would be especially wary of any discs you buy off of E-Bay. The savings vs. buying from...

Office system
How about an older McIntosh Receiver? Most of the 1970s models are still pretty easy to find and parts are still available for most models directly from McIntosh. If you live anywhere near a large city there is most likely a Mac Service shop nearb... 
CD-R burnout
I laugh at articles like the one you quote from above. I've been in the television and media duplication business for nearly 20 years. I've seen a wide variety of video and audio formats come and go. I record all my CD-Rs on a commercial Marantz o... 
Analog tuners in the digital age
I agree with Sugarbrie; and I work in the television industry. Congress is mostly interested in converting the TV broadcast system from analog to digital so they can auction off the current TV spectrum for BILLIONS OF DOLLARS. I have heard little ...
