| LP to CD transfer question...what is best? Mattcecil, you may go with HHB830, not Plus to save some cash. Available on ebay for $300-400. For best results use slower (up to 24x) CD-R blanks or 4x rewritables. This is an awesome product, DAC, ADC, player and burner, all in one. Also awesome... | |

| better ears than budget, so i would like to think Word "digital" was so abused in the past that no one paid attention when true digital amps based on TI chips have arrived. I believe Panasonic digital receivers, namely SA-XR45 (discontinued) or SA-XR70 are hard to beat in sub $1K category. They c... | |

| Review: Rotel RC-1070 Preamplifier If you are not satisfied with the bass performance, I tend to believe the blame is not with RB-1080 nor with B&W. I would look at RC-1070 instead. It is nice, but not in the same league with the rest of your equipment. Rotel RB-1080 has one of... | |
