| Luxman L505u . . . why not? I've heard the L505. It's really sweet. I've also had the chance to audition the Leben CS-300. I'll stick with the LFD as long as no (more) repair issues ensue. We know different room/speakers/wires/etc. make A/B comparisons of amplifiers unpredic... | |

| The Best CD player under $1000. Lexicon RT-20"Universal" but no Blu Ray play. Best call it an almost universal player. | |

| Best tube choices for Jolida Music Envoy A l'il humor dear fellow. My 302 was rolled around with some exalted NOS UK wonder valves. Not familiar with Boone's Farm but did try Yasgur's Farm - but to muddy. Cheers! | |
| OPPO 83 and Benchmark DAC 1 "By beefing up the analog output stage, one ought to convert what is a very decent universal player into an audiophile quality player."It's still a budget built disc player no matter the electronics inside. $1000 + mod on top of the retail $499 fo... | |
| OPPO 83 and Benchmark DAC 1 "If you want analogue redbook playback I'd stay away from costly modds to a bluray player with a changing video playback format."Agree.Nor would I ever mod a CDP these days.I'm thinking that as boomers abandon their expensive CD players for hard d... | |
| Harbeth speaker stands The word I've heard about Foundation Stands is quality control is seriously iffy. They're supposedly OK bargain stands if you can get a pair that line up properly for assembly. | |
