Review: Sony SCD-1 Audiocom-UK upgrade
j.d.: EXCELLENT post. don't wanna' be too pushy, but do you mind telling us the cost of the mods? _kelly 
Avalon or ProAc?
dma: i'm very partial to avalons, having owned 3 different pairs. i'm also a fan of the "british sound" manifested especially in proacs. your ears ought to be the final arbiters of your decision. IMO, of all speakers mentioned, the opus is by far ... 
Center Channel Amp Recommendations

Girlfriends and wifes, how do YOU cope?

Power amp for Avalon Eclipse Classic

What does "jitter" sound like????
marakanetz: you say "The ideal DAC does not have any oversamplings" really? from where does your information or opinion derive? -kelly 
Equipment Stand placement?
kthomas: earlier this year, i reconfigured my system placement to replicate what megasam calls the "theoretical ideal set-up." my equipment rack is now on the right-side wall, aft of the first reflection point. the only thing between my speakers i...
