How sensitive is the B&W Nautilus Midrange?
You should look into some high-end sound reinforcement speakers like JBL Pro or EAW. They are specifically designed for concert-level playback. I think a lot of so-called audiphiles would be better served by such a system, but they can't admit it ... 
Can I hear from some Emerald Physics Cs3 owners
A friend of mine had a pair and we compared them to two pairs conventional speakers in the 4K price range. We both heard nothing to particularly distinguish the EPs, except that they were more of a PITA to deal with because of the DSP and all. The... 
Feedback on Doge 6 CD Player?
Excuse me. There is obviously a big difference between cheap and inexpensive. Enjoy your third inexpensive DAC. 
Feedback on Doge 6 CD Player?
Maybe you would listen to more CDs if you had a good player? People do too much reading and not enough listening. Buying a cheap DAC isn't going to help you enjoy your system. But it's your money and your ears, so enjoy. 
Feedback on Doge 6 CD Player?
Unlike most people here, I will not give you an opinion on gear I've never owned. In my system, I found the Doge6 far superior to the 5400 in the areas that matter to me. The Doge is well-built and the transport is a standard plastic CD transport ... 
Feedback on Doge 6 CD Player?
That's a very valuable post, Montejay. The OP can sit around and guess which ones you are talking about. 
Feedback on Doge 6 CD Player?
One of the best players I've owned, including 5K and 10K digital setups. I have heard nothing that can touch it at 2K shipped. Just make sure to get the upgraded tubes. 
Bang for the buck
How do you know he's not listening through headphones? Yeah, get some room treatments. Get some new shoes while you're at it. Couldn't hurt, right? 
Any one compared a Lampizator to Weiss 202 DAC?
Personally, if I were considering a DAC in the $5K+ price range, I would purchase it from a US dealer (or your home country) with a good record of service, I'm not saying anything negative about Lamp, but, at those prices, I would want a strong lo... 
Why Do You Still Have Vinyl if You Don't Play it?
Just keep the gems and give the rest away. It's not worth taking the time to grade everything and then try to sell it to some guy who wants it for $1 (if that much) and then will complain to you because there's a pop on the third cut of side 2. No... 
New Accuphase Cartridge
From the Accuphase website:"Unlike CDs, playback of analog records in high quality requires dedication and an understanding of the various aspects of the process, making the enjoyment of music with this medium a special and truly rewarding experie... 
What speakers have best bass for hip hop, and rock
Really - for that type of music, some true pro-sound reinforcment speakers will do a better job than any high-end speakers I've ever heard. Check out the EAWs. Plenty of bass for those who crave it. http://www.eaw.com/products/LA325.html 
esoteric x-05 player
I do belive that components take some time to break in, but I honestly cannot understand what exactly is being broken in after say one month of normal use. I think it's partially the owner getting used to the new component as much as the component... 
esoteric x-05 player
I had an X-05 in my system for 6 months. The sound never changed, IMO. I just couldn't make it work, but that's my opinion. I would definitely give it a month and see if it improves to your liking. 
Turntable Essentials?
A good dealer with extensive experience with analog is an essential, IMO.
