Yes, it is very difficult for a dealer in high end audio to have a business if they are not doing home theater, which helps carry the two channel line. The 'loaner' model is essential to make two channel work profitab... | |
| Reel to reel tape question The shiny side has no recorded material on it unless 'print through' occurred. The latter condition often comes from the reel being tightly spooled and stored that way for many years. Most likely, the dull side is that which was recorded on. Also,... | |
| What makes for a "great" turntable? I will second 'autolift', especially the Denon machines. I have, in addition to my VPI Aries, the 47F Denon. It gets more play then the Aries. | |
| Circuit City is Closing, Liquidating Stay away, to the eve of each store's actual close. Otherwise you will be taken, big time. Buy a floor model at no more then 15% of the regular selling price. | |
| What is the best analog sounding CD player $2000 cayin, no contest | |
| Integrated $500-1K for Classic Jazz I second the Cayin suggestion, but look for a 70, little more power and some extra features. I had auditioned the 50 but felt the 70 had a little more 'push'. | |

| Modded SACD player: SACD or Redbook sound best?" Did you know that in double blind listening testing conducted by the AES, no difference between SACD and Red Book was observed? That is not to say that multi channel SACD's don't sound different, they do. Only two channel have not. So, unless you ... | |

| Opinion on Nakamichi azimuth tape decks please I don't believe that any deck other then the Dragon had auto azimuth adjustment. Could I be wrong? | |

| Vpi aries with Jmw-10 looking to upgrade cartridg go with the sds. That way you will isolate its impact on your system with the present cartridge. I second Jloveys, don't spend over $1K on a cartridge. I tried a Shure 97 in my vpi once and I was shocked, almost equaled my $2k Clearaudio MC. |
