| Review: Consonance CD-120 Linear CD Player Singleguy - I have had the CD-120 Linear since this past September and feel it is the most analog-like player I have heard. Now I'm not even listening to albums all that much since CDs are sounding so good. | |
| Qinpu A 1.0x receiver? Why a break in period? I bought the Qinpu A 1.0x integrated amp new over a year ago and after turning it on and giving it a listen I was ready to send it back. I decided to give it a chance, leave it on all night and give it a listen the next day; well there was a signi... | |

| 21' 13' room: long wall vs. short wall placement I have a 13 foot by 21 foot room and have the speakers on the short wall about 5 and a half feet from the rear wall and around 21 inches from the side walls. It's interesting that every speaker I have tryed sounds the best in this position. | |
