| Got Ears? Your relationship with your girlfriend is doomed, unless you immediately crease involvement in trying to be an audiophile. She has told you that better sound is 'huh', so listen. Seeking her 'approval' of your sonic betterment is forever hopeless ... | |
| Looking for SONY CDP-C69ES changer or "better". Wh Can't go wrong with a refurb Sony 375 at $40 including shipping, currently available at SonyStyle. Its a 5 disc unit and given that most Sony CDP's share the processor and many other parts, I am not sure you could tell the difference from your 69'... | |
| How do you dress your cables? I don't. My butler takes care of those details. | |
| Wanting a fully automatic step up from Denon DP61F Best to try the 47F, which I have a few of. I gave many of these units to all my children to get them interested in vinyl, minor success. I am now working on the grandchildren since some are now adults. The reason I highly recommend the 47F is the... | |
| What is nearfield listening? Most none orchestra recordings are mixed using near field speakers very close to the mixing board. Headphone mixing is even worse, yet seems to be done to often. So, there is nothing "normal" about the speaker/room/listener arrangement present. Th... | |
| It's all over now, baby blue. Or is it not? Congratulations, you have now entered the 'lost years', when ever extra penny, and ever extra moment will be devoted to child, and maybe the many others to come. It will be necessary to 'drop out' of the hobby till the final college payment is mad... | |

The beauty of first using the '97' is that you get to practice set up, in real time. If the sound disappoints, you can always use it as a... | |
| looking for exotic affordable wire suppliers Perhaps you should do some material research on the wire/jacket combinations. I think you will find that metal elements conductivity do not really rank by the base cost of the metal. As you have already found, pure metal never does as well as comb... | |
| Now That You've Ripped Your Entire Collection... Backup, backup and totally more backup, to many different hard drives. Be sure to have rented a safe deposit box to store one of the backup copies.

| Wanted Preamp Take a look at the VAS/Cayin Citiation I, a knock off of the HK I unit of yesteryear that is a marvel of design. The VAS has a center channel out. I have the unit, very satisfied, great sound. Under $5K. | |
| The Demise of the Hi-End Audio Store In my town, about 20 miles from New York City, we have a high end true audio/video shop, but we also have a large B&O retail store front at street level. The high end is on the second floor, mainly to discourage walk ins and has 'attitude' tha... | |
| As I look at all these posts As Elizabeth mentioned, it is all about profit. As many double blind tests have shown over the last fifty years, high price has nothing to do with great sound. Yet, the low entry cost of making cables attracts new players, with ability to 'spin, s... |
