| Best Budget Rig sub $600 "After cables and such, I don't want to spend more than $600 bucks."How much are you planning on paying for cables :-)Seriously though,Second the NHT SB-3's or Ascend Acoustics CBM-170 ($300)which are a little more clear and analytical.Better stil... | |
| Audio Tweak gone bad...similar experiences? Pennies and digital have bad synergy. Since digital is only 1's and 0's. You need to go analog if you use pennies.For digital, you'll need coinage that is an even number like 10 cents or 50 cents.BTW, you'll want solid core pennies not the crap al... | |

| Phoenix area stores "AZ Hi Fi in Tempe", hmmmm I think they sold AudioNote speakers. Boy that owner was one of the biggest jerks I've ever run across. No one in the store, just listened to what he had on the floor for about 20 minutes, told us how gracious he was to ... | |

| 1000.00 to spend what would you buy? Creek A50 for ~$500 used.Marantz PM7200 is nice but probably less clear than the Creek.Also check out used Forte and Threshold stuff. If you like low powered tube stuff the Aleph 3 is said to be a very sweet 30wpc (solid state - class "A"). | |
