| about to jump into the power cord foray Concur. The resolution of the system is critical in terms of the need for higher quality cables. For example, when I was using B&W 804S speakers, I could get away with bettercables.com cables (and they sounded good) but when I moved up to B&am... | |
| Which is the best CD-Player up to $ 10k ? I didn't ask to just listen to it, I offered to deposit half the cost of the player up front and assuming it's as good as he claims it is, I would pay the second half upon purchase. He refused. And comparing test drives of cars to audio products i... | |

| DCS Puccini and/or Soulution 740 players? Anyone?? Did you get a chance to compare versus the Spectral SDR-4000S one box? | |
| ROOM ACOUSTIC ADVICE NEEDED I don't know that the wall unit is that much of an issue depending on design as it is a decent ways back, but the less reflective objects in it the better (if you have a TV, try to get a blanket or the like to cover the screen during critical list... | |
