| Best CD sound: Marantz SA8001 or Rega Apollo? 4estThat is plain poo poo. The NAD M5 SACD outs sounded better than my Squeezebox driving a late model Benchmark DAC1.

| One's trash is someone else's treasure "Anyway, dragging some dude over the coals for a deal ANYONE OF YOU WOULD DO (privately!!) because he said it publicly, is total DooDoo"Judging from the sheer magnitude of lowballers out there...I agree one hundred million % | |
| Best integrated for rock music under $1,500? "but surely there's something that would perform like an NAD but is better built? " That would be the Master's Series componentsThey are like nothing before from NAD. | |
| Am I going crazy or? PbbYou could easily replace "Some of the stuff I read in this thread is pure nonsense" with Most of the stuff I read on this entire website is pure nonsense-YMMV | |
| How to evaluate preamps? move back to your "preamp-less" setup. You already know what you like. Anything else is a distraction. | |
| Getting off the merry-go-round – AFRAID TO??? In general, being a music lover is not a hobby, per se, it's something innate (i'm still a music lover when i'm asleep, but i'm not golfing,playing a guitar, or swapping equipment). Spending time listening to music is just that, to me. Listening t... | |
