| SACD or vinyl? Looking for great sound and mid $$ Wow! Thanks for the quick responses all. I think I was leaning in the way most of you suggested: with the abundance of affordable media, LPs certainly have the advantage.

| Good cd player and a great DAC or great cd player? Hey Joy, thanks for your input. I'd be very interested in how that Bel Canto DAC sounds with your transport.

You might want to check out tube integrated amps in that price range which include Antique Sound Labs, Audio Note, Cary, etc. I compared the Audio Note Oto PP vs. the Musical Fidelity a3.2 and the... |
