| Best SACD Player in the $2000 Range Modright did some very good things with the Dennon 3910 series players, including tube rectifycation, and other audiophile upgrades throughout. It playes everthing.A really nice one should run no more than what is in your budget now, and equal or ... | |
| Getting analog audio out of a HD Tuner? Well with only an int amp that doesn't have digital processing, that optical output from the TV now needs digital processing of sorts... or a DAC. That's why I almost always go with a receiver over int's if TV or DVDs are also in the mix.There's p... | |

| AZ Matrix II vs Harmonic Tech Magic Link2 Good luck.For me a MIT Mag would likely sit on my source outputs... as it has before. now there is a pair of Nirvana SX Ltds there. The imaging is better with the SX and the music is delivered uh, easier than it would have been with the Mags. The ... | |
| Bass rant i'm guilty! Guilty of at one time transposing enormity for quality. No longer though. I';ve also sought out those squeakers which had the lowest numbers and suspect many have, whether they admit it or not. I feel audio maturity takes time.Present ... | |
| AZ Matrix II vs Harmonic Tech Magic Link2 For me... in my system... I'll take the Magic IIs over the AZs... any day.That said, the HT Magic IIs ain't the end of the road either.I've had both at one time or another in my rig (s). I use the HT M II as the main IC. it has decent bass, not th... | |

| Where should I concentrate my upgrade dollars next It would be nice to know where you want to go with things sonically, and your $$$ for it... as all in your system could be stepped up if you think about it.More euphonic, more resolute, sppeed? Volume? Bass? just more music in the music?That said,... | |
