SeanI see you have a pair of AR-90's. I still have mine in original condition. I need to rebuld (refoam) the dricers otherwise they are fine.Chuck 
Why does my new tube amp and preamp sound so bad?
LarryIs the equipment brand new? If so maybe you are experienceing a break-in issue. Let it play for awhile and see if it improves. My CJ premier 350 has taken a fairly long time to break in. I am not familiar enough with Cary to know if their equ... 
Another sign SACD is dying
quadophileI too have purchased a couple of the living stereo SACD's and was astounded by how good they sound. I bought them from tower records for around 8-10 bucks apiece with free shipping. And just as others have said SACD (hybrids) are not goi...

DanThe hybrid disc contain both an SACD layer and a redbook layer. This allows the disc to be played on a standard cd player and an SACD player. Obviously the standard player will only play the redbook layer. I don't see the vinyl versus cd really... 
Why does my new tube amp and preamp sound so bad?
LkitchelWhat a bummer. There is no way that adcom should outperform cary; just should not happen. I have had experience with tube pre-amps and tube amps (conrad johnson) and they sounded wonderful through my thiels. Yes it is true tube amps don't ...

Dan_edI can appreciate your thoughts and opinions and the fact you like vinyl. That is certainly your choice. But yes it is about background noise the snaps the clicks and the pops that take away from the pleasure of the music at least for me. Thi...

BenNo, I do not believe you are wrong. SACD will not replace redbook only enhance it or if you wish work in concert with it. Such is the case for the Hybrid discs; seems like synergies to me. And the way SACD should have been marketed all along (I...

Something that befuddles me is that I have read various comments from people pertaining to the limited superiority if any of SACD over redbook. Now the irony is that some of these comments are made by people who are cryogenically treating (read tw...

People like whatever format they like and I am not going to begrudge them that. However my cheap tt set-up and standard of the shelf vinyl did not even compare to my digital set-up of today. I just can not understand how people can buy these used ...

Dan_edI have about 100lps and plan on keeping them for nostalgic purposes only. Besides some day I may decide to try vinyl again. Also some turntables are absolutely gorgeous to look at. My friend has a Micheal Gyrodeck which is both beautiful to ...

They are called Hybrids and are stocked in the cd section.Besides if you are going to BBY for high end audio you are in the wrong store. 
Upgrading from CJ Premier 17LS to 17LS2?
Can not speak to the 17lsII but the 16lsII is a substantial upgrade to the 17lsI. I have owned both and still have my 16lsII. You would have to purchase one used as it is a non current model; but it is great nontheless.chuck
