Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better?
Springbok, not to worry - anyone who gets out of hand will be asked to leave. This comparison is being done in my home, and despite the mudslinging that has occurred in the past couple of days (which by the way I find distasteful and disrespectful... 
Parasound JC-1 Questions
1. No problem at all turning them on and off as needed. They sound better after about 45 minutes of playing music and are pretty much fully warmed up after 90 minutes.2. I don't know. What is the heat dissipation of a Krell? It may be possible to ... 
LP storage? What do you use?
The Ikea Expedit, while being no frills, is plenty sturdy enough and a huge value. The 6'x6' one holds at least 1500 records, which works out to ten cents per record.Brian

Tvad, of course you're right, big grains of salt all around. Listening to something in your own system is the ultimate test. This so called shootout can't be definitive as to which is best, although we're doing our best to keep things relatively o...

Soundlab speakers: Castors or Tiptoes?

Atma-sphere M60 II.3-Any good for 4 ohm speaker?
The Atma-Sphere M60 can be ordered in any of the three styles Trelja describes. The Rendition Audio M60 looks pretty much the same, one exception being the meter which functions as a VU meter on the Rendition.Brian

Tom, the wine sounds like a good idea for later on, after the rigorous comparisons are done and people just want to listen.I don't allow smoking in the house, although people are free to step outside.
