| Anyone know of a good transport for the Ack dAck ? I own a Parasound (CEC) and it sounds great. Would bet the CEC player listed for $350 on the 'gon is very decent. Convinced a learned colleague over his respectable Rega Planet (older version) as a transport. | |
| Sound difference with Auricaps Yes. I've reworked several crossovers in different pairs of speakers and the Auricaps are very good. Pricey, so one must determine which speakers and electronics deserve them. The cheaper alternative I've then taken is simply Panasonic metallized ... | |

| Dynamic monitors for Audio Refinement Complete You've picked some great ones! Include the Coincident Triumph TRS monitor with upgraded internal wiring, crossover and tweeter. Good luck. | |
| Requesting jazz quartet CD suggestions kplu.org sound stream. I've lived all over the U.S. because of my profession and this is one of the best public stations for traditional jazz and lots of quartet/trio music. They play the gambit of old to new artists and always tell you what they'... | |

| Best in depth of soundstaging and ease for 2k? ATC SCM 12s. New $2200, used $1300. Best cone speaker I've ever heard period. And I travel the country alot and slip into audio shops everywhere. | |

| Jumpers vs bi-wire You want to stay within the same quality range, but no, the jumpers must not match the speaker cable. Your logic does make sense to a point. Here come the rebuttals........ | |
| need comments on my system Skim,Don't take this wrong, but you've started with what are considered to be possibly the best ML speakers ever made and pushed them with less than very best stuff. In another life I sold Counterpoint. Maybe they have changed, but really the soun... | |
| Help Me Interim Speakers Suggestions? I like Harbeths, but better yet I like the ATC line. They are quite amazing in every respect. | |
| Kimber 8tc vs. audioquest cv6 with dbs I've run both of these and while decent, have settled very firmly on the best from LAT International. They smoked my Analysis Plus Oval 9s and cost much less. Solid, detailed and very open. Best price from echohifi.com in Portland, OR. These are a... |
