| Which Phono Preamp? If you are looking at a Colorado product, check out Ayre Px5e. Another great product is the Parasound HALO JC3+ Phono. Great reviews for both of these products. The Pass is good as well. I have the Ayre with the VPI Aries 3 100lbs unit that has al... | |
| The Absurdity of it All If anyone relies on anyone on this thread about what sounds best, you are a fool. You lack the spine to think for yourself. Most people who throw many years about how long they have been listening or, buying music is just their own opinion in what... | |

| VAC 200 iq vs Mcintosh MC2301 vs ARC Ref 160 M Let me tell you. I’ve had a lot of high end audio equipment over the years and the McIntosh MC2301 Monoblock amplifiers are very special. That would definitely be my choice and I have a pair sitting in my listing room. I’ve had top of the line Jef... | |
| Looking for my "last" CD transport Also regarding new gear especially CD Players these days. Most of what is available as a high end transport or a CD Player are pretty much throw away items. This is what our world is coming to. From retail to being a year old, they drop out of the... | |

| Ready, set, comment! Speaker cables don’t make a difference? First of all, I love what Millercarbon said about him earlier, lol. Second of all, why are folks taking advice from a guy who can’t keep his room clean, lol. What a mess. Let’s get to the point here, speaker cables do make a difference. Some are m... | |
