| The BEST system you've ever built !!!! Rowland 9Ti's going througha Nakamichi processor, soon to be the new Theta casablanca 2. Main speakers are Avalon Osiris. Center and surrounds are JMLabs Mini-Utopias. Source is a Sony SCD-1 with the digital out going through a Dodson Mk-II DAC wi... | |
| Recommend CD Player with Volume Control No Carl. I have no idea how wealthy you are, nor do I care. It isn't even relevant. I just wanted to see your Pavlovian response. And you didn't disappoint me. Thanks. | |

| BEST REAR PROJECTION TV 50 to 61" Definately the Pioneer Elite. I also have a 710. I'm waiting for the Dish network to come out with their HD tuner since it has outputs compatible with the digital VCR I'm also getting. David | |
| CD with volume control/ no preamp. Dcs has come out with the Delius, a DAC with most of the performance of the Elgar. Apparently they are also touting it as a digital pre-amp, I believe without tone controls. If one uses CD only, that may be the ticket. David |
