| Review: Snell K.5 Monitor I have the K.5mk2 great reviews is AS is what initially attracted me to giving them a try. I've lived with them for over a year and just love them with my CJ preamp / amp and Shanling CD. The only other speakers I've considered is the B&W 805 ... | |
| Introducing Tubes? I have a Conrad Johnson PV14L, this preamp has an HT bypass mode. It is often paired with their SS AMPS. It basically set the gain to unity so you HT preamp works normally. You could hook up you CDP to the CJ and have it go direct to the krell. I ... | |

Since then I've found few occasions that I've even had a choice (I'm not looking to replace mu... | |

| Is there a future for Redbook players? DVD-A and SACD will not be the death of redbook. These formats are only appriciated by a small community. It's going to take a format that is embraced by the mainstream buyer to kill redbook. If it were not for the legal crackdown, MP3 would be th... |
