| Tube Pre amp or Solid Pre Amp Just out of curiosity, why do you want a preamp? Do you have another source? If not, I would just spend the money that you would have spent on the preamp and upgrade the amp or CDP. I also run my CDP direct to my amp and am very happy with the sou... | |
| Resolution Audio Owners - How Do You Contact Them? Yeah, they do respond to Email. You might have a hard time finding a new CD55 at a dealer though since this player is out of production. | |
| Decent CD Players If you can stretch your budget by a couple hundred, I highly recommend the Resolution Audio CD55. There's one for sale here now for $1750. I haven't heard a better player for this used price. If you don't want to spend the extra $$, I'll second th... | |
| Pass Labs or Audio Research Solid State Amplifiers I second the recommendation for the McCormack. Also, instead of buying a preamp, pick up a used Theta Miles CDP and run it directly to the amp. I used to have a Miles and it was great for rock and metal. | |

| Should Speakers come first in a gradual upgrade? I have a pair of the 5i's in my home theatre system and have found them to be very transparent. Changes in the source and cables in this system are quite noticeable. I, like you, prefer sacrificing bass for better mid/hi performance so I wouldn't ... | |
| Speaker Cable Help Thanks for the input guys. I ended up getting a pair of Analysis Plus Oval 9 and am very happy with them. Regard, | |
| Best speaker under $500 I'd recommend the Paradigm Studio 20 (used) in this price range. | |
| Redbook CD s I remember seeing this thread a while back and have stumbledacross a good description of the "books", so here it is:Red-book: Compact Disc Digital Audio (CD-DA). Discs have "Digital Audio" printed below the "CD" logo. Yellow Book: Compact Disc Rea... | |
