| Merlin MMe - Bi-Wire or Single Wire Merlin recommends single wire with the cardas jumpers and zobel network (if needed) supplied by Merlin. I use mine in this manner and they sound great. Of course, its all up to your ears. If you enjoy the bi-wire setup, so be it. But, given Melin'... | |
| Replace au24 speaker cable??? I've used Acoustic Zen Satori's in my system for several years, but I recently tried the new "e" series Au24's out of curiousity and, frankly, was underwhelmed. Great bass, as you indicate, but the midrange and treble presentation of the Satori's ... | |
| Neil Young Live at Massey Hall 200 g LP, I just received it and it sounds great. Better than the CD, IMHO. | |
| Surge Suppressor or Not? In that price range, I would get the brickwall. Just remember that nothing stops a direct lightning strike, if that's what you're trying to guard against. Unplug during storms. | |
| why still buy a cd player? The issue I have with PC/hard drive based audio is simply the complexity of getting to the end result. I.e. I have to figure out storage, what format to use to copy the music, the copying of the music, how do I get the music from the hard drive to... | |
| Channel Islands Squeezebox Power Supply? I have the VDC-SB and I believe the improvements are modest. I have only had the VDC a couple of weeks, so there still could be some break-in. Also, I use a monarchy upsampler between the SB and my CDP, so the effects may be masked so some degree.... | |

| Opus 21 vs. Mac Mini with Wavelength USB DAC FYI, Resoulution Audio offers the "extra sources" component that you can connect to your Opus 21 that would allow you to use a USB source with the Opus. If you're happy with your current sound, this may be an option for you.http://www.resolutionau... | |
| Denon Universal IMHO, I would get a separate player for Blu-ray/DVD and a separate player for dvd/Sacd. I've never been a fan of mixing audio/video in one box. You can get an excellent blu-ray/DVD player for under $300 (Panny BD35). Use the balance of your budget... | |
| Anyone catch what's goin' on at Tweeter?..deals? Tweeter's going out of business. I think they originally planned to file bankruptcy and reorganize, but I saw a news article yesterday that said they were closing for good. I went to my local Hi-Fi Buys (a tweeter company) a couple of weeks ago an... | |
| Time to pull the trigger on BluRay? Yes, its time to buy. I just bought the Panny BD-35 online for $229 with free shipping. Amazon had the player at $199 at one point, but i missed that sale. I also have the Panny BD-30, but it lacks an ethernet connection, which I wanted. However, ... | |
| Denon Universal I read somewhere that the new Denon universal is expected to retail over $5k, if that's important. |
