The best CD player with volume control
Yes, Petland, I agree. For example, I had to upgrade my vinyl front end, just to keep up with the CD50 in several ways, one being string tone (from cellos to violins). I went from a Benz Glider to a Lo4, in order to do this. Of course the vinyl is... 
Stealth Interconnects users
The Stealth SCR's after 20 hours burn in: Extremely transparent (unbelievably so, especially of "micro dynamics", and of ambient detail....I'll compare them with HD 600 phones later on, to my AudioTruth Diamond x3...it's too short to try in this s...

I got Stage 3's literature about a year and a half ago. They still don't have a website, and don't return phone calls. I'm not encouraged to try anything they've got, for some reason. 
Power Cord Advice
FBI....Yes, I better do as you say, or I'd really be stupid, wouldn't I?.............Regarding conductor size, my experience has been that large AWG does indeed make the most difference with power amps, and that is a given. Of course they are the ... 
Bedini Clarifier II, FuruTech RD-1 etc
I enjoy my Bedini Clarifier 2, and wouldn't even consider spending more. It's that good. The other models are a good way for the dealers who carry them to help make their Mercedes payments. If you want to help your dealer out with his luxurious pe... 
NATURAL CHERRY VENEER
My rack is solid cherry, and the back of it was exposed to sunlight from a window, and it turned darker. Some of my speakers have cherry veneer, but they haven't been exposed to sunlight, and have not changed any. 
Power Cord Advice
To Sol (the name of our sun, but I guess you know that): No, I haven't experienced directionality issues with regards to in-wall wiring, but I haven't experimented with it, either. I don't foresee changing the house wiring in the house I'm in now,...

I'm trying their SCR interconnects now, haven't listened yet, wanted to burn them in a while first. A sale, huh? They actually charged $20 MORE for mine, says on the invoice it was for "shielding". At any rate, if I decide to buy these, I'll inqui... 
The best CD player with volume control
I had heard that it would, but apparently it has been replaced altogether. Given its unique upsampling, it is likely that the CD55 is better (overall) than the CD50, perhaps. HOWEVER.....I certainly am in ZERO hurry to sell my CD50, and am very gl... 
Power Cord Advice
Kacz, wanted to clarify that my house wiring is not stranded, but is solid core, similar to Romex, not sure the brand. It is only 12 gauge times 3, however, and all the breakers are only 15 amp. We only have 200 amp power service, also. I don't th... 
Built your own speakers ?
And by that, you are meaning that you aren't listening to any of the projects you built? Anyway, I don't mean to be overly touchy either, and don't mean to diminish your time and effort. It is indeed a terribly time consuming endeavor.

Drubin, "makes sense to listen to as much stuff as you can"...that's exactly right!

Mr. Blues, read it again, that part wasn't addressed to you, hence the dotted line... 
Power Cord Advice
Kacz, send me yours for a week, I'll be glad to review it. 
Top manufacturers!
Yeah, us Americans...the very idea! Where do we get off thinking we could design fine power amplifiers? How dare we! We should just give up, we're even making the Swiss feel sorry for us...and goodness knows they take a stand on things, when the g...
