| Which amps for Monitor Audio Gold Reference 60's? X,I have MA Silver Series S10's as the mains in my home theater along with S2's as surrounds, and S-LCR center channel. Great speakers. Your 60's are awesome as well. I've listened to them many times with about 7 or 8 different amps. To my ears, t... | |
| What high-end cdp for low-end quality CD's ? Lugnut offers some good and thoughtful comments. I recently aquired an Audio Note CD 3.1x cd player that has really made a marked improvement in my system.

| Recommendation for a cd player-tricky question Adam,Believe it or not, you really should pick up a Toshiba 3950 or 3960. Check out the discussions over at AA.

| Upgrades to Cary 308t CD player Alexander,I just sold my Cary 308T but I tried several different tubes with it. I liked the Telefunkens and thought they were good but the early 1960's NOS Amperex 7316 were far and away the best allaround sounding tube in this player in my system. | |

| Have you ever deceived your wife-audio purchase I've undertaken at least a dozen covert operations, since entering into this hobby, that would make a Navy Seal proud. Wife "Is that a new stereo thingy?" Me "Nah honey I've had that for awhile now." or "Why yes it is dear! I traded a guy straight... |
