| Am I Bad Listener? Don't get caught up in the "gear game". You got good components (much better than what I got), and if you're enjoying your music, then don't worry about whether or not "some tube, or some innerconnect, ect" is going to make it sound all that much ... | |
| help me build a system for $1200 T'all do know this thread started over a year ago on 06/09/06. I missed it when I made my posting, but I'm betting that Enugdamer has alread made his decisions about what he's going to do with his system. Guess in the future, I';; pay attention to... | |
| help me build a system for $1200 My first choice would also to be to keep your NAD receiver and put the money into some better speakers.Second choice, I would recommend a Jolida 502A or B (I have the 502A myself, and both amps are essentially the same) and perhaps match it with a... | |
| Speaker recommendations for NAD I would agree with Jhold that for your situation that you would do best with a "sealed box design", unfortunately, there not many "sealed box" speakers in the price range that you seek. 2nd choice would be a "front-ported design". If you get a "re... | |
| Help Bookshelf recommendations Curious on what the other components are that you'll be using in this system and also what sort of presentation do you expect these speakers to deliver? I'm also assuming that this system will be a 2-channel or a 2.1 (2 channel w/subwoofer), is th... | |

| Small, tube-friendly speaker suggestions needed Heard a pair of Quad 11L that sounded very nice with a Jolida 302B tube integrated. Truth is I heard it and the Spendor S3/5 at the same time. I liked the Spendor better, but Quad held it's own quite nicely, and the price is much less than Spendor... | |

| Allman Brothers Fillmore East on Vinyl "I know this started out as a vinyl request, so I apologize for the following cd recommendation (you may find this on vinyl though). I just picked up a remastered, deluxe edition cd of Eat a Peach that is also a big improvement over my original.... | |
| Allman Brothers Fillmore East on Vinyl I disagree with "The Fillmore Concerts" being a great disc. And I say that because you can barely hear Berry Oakley's bass in the mix. As a person, who saw the "orginal" Allman Brothers on three different occasions, with the last being a show in a... | |
| State of HDCD and SACD Pretty cool site, for people who have HDCD compatable players, even if it is in Swedish.http://www.hifimusic.se/hdcd/index.php?p=base&letter=AWas surprised by the number of titles that are HDCD. Just quickly going through the titles I found at... | |
| Best budget CDP? If it was me, I might consider the Underwood XCD-5 which is factory authoized modification of the Onix CD-5. I believe cost of the player with the mods + package is about $870. Btw, the Onix CD-5 is pretty much the same player as the Music Hall 25... | |
