Best system for opera lover at $30,000
Carl makes a very important point about educating them selves first before spendig 30 grand.Also a treated and dedicated room would be appropriate.I would advise your friends to go with tubes and analog if they are looking for beautiful music.

CD player finally died. Need rec.
GREAT CHOICE with the PLANET!!! I'm not going to get all caught up in the digital war.You bought a great C.D. player.Stereophile CLASS B and an awesome looking unit.How does it sound? You are most of the way there for under $800.00. Happy listening! 
Which is Better Basis 1400 or Rega 25
OH YEA, Mario sells Basis also.You could get his opinion about the 2 tables.For $800.00 the rega is a steal! Cripe the RB-600 sells for $700.00 alone!!! 
Which is Better Basis 1400 or Rega 25
Hi,I don't know if the 1400 can be upgraded to a 2000.I do know the Rega-25 is an awesome table.It comes with a RB-600 tonearm.The arm has better interconnects than the RB-300 and has neutrik R.C.A.s.The table is a Stereophile class B.The RB-600 a...

Read the reviews,there are alot of them.The overall opinion of the seasoned reviewers is the Silways are the best or as good as the best, period. I have none of the negative sonics from these I.C.s that Carl describes.My opinion these I.C.s are am...
