| Sugden - Electrocompaniet - Naim - Accuphase I love mis-information. The Sugden A21SE is rated and delivers 30wpc Class A. The A21a is its smaller brother and yes delivers 20wpc.

| Interconnects for Rotel. Rotel can be a bit bright. The Signal Cable Analogue 2 is a great copper cable for so little money. A real sleeper and will most certainly beat the Monster. | |
| Spica TC-50 and amp advice Nearly everyone missed that you have a PS Audio IV preamp which is still quite viable with separate power supply. There are several very good choices to include the Hafler 120, the best sounding Hafler amp. The Dynacos are great also.This speaker ... | |
| OPPO BDP 83 as Redbook player? Think the bigger issue is reliability. I know an OPPO dealer who is fielding a lot of breakage with this model. It appears this is not a well built player and renders dialogue regarding its attributes moot. | |

| Sensitive enough speakers for low power SET Second the Coincident. Several advantages to high efficiency speakers such as ease of load for the amp and oft very good low volume level resolution. | |
| Outboard Dac's...Do they make a big difference? ABSOLUTELY!!!! Not a big fan of Mac and can promise either of these DACs will improve the resolution, imaging of the player. | |
| Bedroom system for my 10 year old son NHTs are great but need some current. Older NAD or Rotel integrated will push them. | |
| Find another DAC for my original Rega Planet? Great transport. I've listened to this as a transport only in systems worth $20,000. Works well with many DACs. The Assemblage, Audio Zone, Scott Nixon...... | |
| Looking for an excellent outdoor FM antenna Lots of forum feedback for this subject. Best unidirectional for little money is C.Crane Reflect. Best omnidirectional for money is probably Magnum whip. | |
| What speakers would you travel with? Trends 10.1, Scandyna Micropods. Sounds good and really trippy with red Micropods with their little Sputnik feet. Each piece fits into a sock. |
