| Portable CD Player with Digital out Try minidisco.com. They specialize in MiniDisc equipment and often carry portable CD players with optical outs to carry a digital signal to the MiniDisc recorders. | |
| better gear, worse recordings With the rise of the CD and the technology available in our components the quest for sonic purity has been the goal. This seems to be what we thought we wanted. As someone who has gotten back into audio gear i can see that many people feel that th... | |
| Best bookcase speakers for classical music Soliloquy 5.0s. Splendid with classical, voice and acoustic. | |
| Does Avergae CD Player + DAC = Average Sound? That's a problem. I hadn't checked because I assumed all CDPs have digital outs, but this one doesn't. No luck here. Case closed. A new CDP it is. | |

| Speaker Dilemma: Sat/Sub or Bookshelf for Office Interesting point, that having the speakers behind and at an angle is less fatiguing. The cheap sat/sub system I have now right in front of me on either side of my monitor does get fatiguing and I find myself turning them down a lot (of course, th... | |
| I Need a Reference Point Sorry, have to ask. What is PRAT? | |
| I Need a Reference Point I wasn't clear enough. The CD player would be a second one for my office. I was asking more about where the Arcam fits in the analytic to warm spectrum. More out of curiosity. I do like the sound of the Arcam and I would consider another one. | |
| Silverline SR17s vs Dynaudio 1.3SEs Nearfiled monitors have been recommended to me for just such a set up. I've not heard them, but the Tannoy nearfield monitors are thought highly of. I have a pair of Tannoy D500s at home and they are splendid. Non fatigueing. | |
| Line Conditioners Monster Cable has a line conditioner that people seem to love or hate, and it's only about $200. Any opinions on this product? Having spent mucho money on my system I think I'm not willing to put another grand into something that is a glorified po... | |
| Is there any such thing as a high end receiver? Beautiful receiver, Nice, warm sound, excellent tuner. | |
| please help a rookie I've been going through the same process as newbie after a 15 year hiatus and my best advice is to listen, listen, listen. Pick a few favorite CDs, a variety of music, and listen to as many amps and speakers as possible. They are all so different ... | |
| Seeking feedback on Swan, Paradigm and Triangle The Paradigm 60s are nice with good bass, but too harsh for my ears in the high end. I prefer more natural, warm sounding speakers (I guess some would say "tube-like") and the Paradigms just didn't cut it. I went with a pair of Tannoy D500s which ... | |
| Any Opinions on Tannoy Speakers? I settled on the D500s and could not be happier. They are sweet with any music, good bass, even at low volumes, and not harsh in the high end like so many speakers today. I would have preferred the D700s, but the box was bigger and my wife would n... | |
| Is McIntosh still a good choice? Well, I did it and purchased a 6500 integrated amp. It sounds beautiful, crisp, and soooo quiet. Even my old Boston Acoustics sound good (I'm receiving some Tannoys next week). Ah, the beauty of a true cultural icon. I love it. You can have your t... |
