Cd player w/ digital input + volume control $2500
What is the amp and speakers you are using now and what type of sound are you looking for from a cdp? You may consider a Resolution Audio Opus 21 which has direct amp capability along with a digital input. I purchased a GNSC Opus 21 several years ... 
Anyone send back Magnepan MMG's?
Another thing to do with the mmg's is to experiment with the tweeter placement. I use to own the mmg's, and listening with the tweeters on the inside was the way to go for me. Tweeters on the inside provided more of a rounded sweetspot and without... 
musical subwoofer recommendation for 2-ch
Please excuse me if I may ask a question and I don't mean to distract from Vett93's original post, but to the REL sub owners out there, "Does anyone know if the power switch on the REL Strata III should flicker when on? On mine the toggle switch f... 
musical subwoofer recommendation for 2-ch
Although I haven't compared 2 subs at the same time, my rel strata III works well with my magnepan 1.6's, which isn't a easy feat. A sub that is to be mated with magnepans has to be as tight and fast like the maggies. The fact that the strata III ... 
REL with Integrated Amp connection Question
One company that sells an aftermarket reasonably priced neutrik cable is Signal Cable. I use one with a REL Strata III and like the result compared to the factory supplied neutrik. Some other sources for the neutrik cable are Synergistic Research ... 
Cable elevators
I ordered a set of the cable towers from musicdirect and couldn't be happier- thanks for recommending them Valleyplastic. Although I haven't listened with and without them for comparison, they keep the wires in order. Happened to notice that Signa... 
PC for a Running Springs Audio Haley?
I'd like to try one of the VH flavor's, but what connections are the best? Just bought a used Black Sand Silver Reference mk.v and I'll be comparing several pc's, such as VH, Black Sands, Cardas, and my current VD. Restock- I'd rather not move up ... 
PC for a Running Springs Audio Haley?
Thanks for the responses Dedicated and Zybar. Dedicated-Is the Cardas Cross a non limiting pc? Zybar- The black sand looks interesting and I plan on trying it and comparing to some other cables. I'd like to hear any more suggestions from any other... 
Pioneer vs. Panasonic plasma
So what did you decide on? 
PC for a Running Springs Audio Haley?
Thanks for the response Dan. I should have mentioned that the Haley has the following components plugged in: Innersound esl amp which draws 1k watts, a Cary SLP 98 pre which draws 44 watts, and a Cary 303 cdp which draws twenty something watts. So... 
Pioneer vs. Panasonic plasma
I totally disagree with Goatwuss as to everone over at avs forum as being "the place of fanboys and ignorance". When I needed help with video issues, there was always someone who offered suggestions and help. 
Pioneer vs. Panasonic plasma
Go for the Pioneer 5070..you won't be disappointed. I found that when comparing the Panasonic to the Pioneer plasma, the Pioneer had more accurate colors (perhaps a better color processor or different glass) and definitely a more attractive bezel.... 
Anyone using a Belkin Pure AV PF60 conditioner?
Thanks Clbeanz for the response...I had ordered one without hearing and my results were very similar to yours. The Belkin in my system produced the same first 2 listed signatures....and on air and spaciousness, it was less for me. Along with your ... 
City dweller power cable & conditioner questions
Sorry that I can't suggest a product and excuse me if I may ask a couple of questions. I too am in the market for a surge/conditioner and the Belkin that several of you have recommended looks very interesting. Before, I was considering a product s... 
Suggestions for a conditioner/surge protector?
I should have stated that my budget is around < $500. The monster power hts 400 would work, but I don't know if it would be good enough.
