| Best audio racks I have and did not find anything, so I asked it here. How dare you! | |
| Best audio racks Anyone have experience with any of the Billy Bags racks? Opinions? | |
| Speaker Polarity Testing If you reverse the leads on just one speaker, you will be running your system out of PHASE (unless one of the speakers is wired differently from the other). This should be very noticeable to you as a lack of image specificity--for example, a vocal... | |
| Dodson MKll D, Levinson 360S, dCS Delius Try to listen to all of them first. I think the Levinson deserves consideration. | |
| SACD Dominates Recommended List I want to agree with and reiterate Ken's excellent first paragraph above. CD offered quantum improvements for the mainstream music listener, the likes of which we will not see again. Sonics aside, the covenience, ease of use, and longer playing ti... | |
| SACD Dominates Recommended List Both companies also have had some pretty stellar successes, does no one remember those? | |
| Placette anyone have any opinions? I am a bit puzzled by the last two posts. The full-function Placette (approx $4K), which I have, CAN be built with gain. But the standard unit is buffered passive all the way. ALthough the ergonomics could be better, this thing strikes me as damn ... | |

| Buying "Sound Unheard" I'm with metaphysics. Audiogon makes it possible to indulge my audiophile urges by living with a wider range of reputable products than I ever could if I had to buy everything new. A wider range than I could have ever imagined just a few years ago... | |

| The partner or wife factor Jeez Chad, does she have a sister? | |
| Sony XA7ES vs Sony SCD777ES It's slow at loading EVERYTHING. | |
| Melos SHA Gold Vs. Audible Illusions L1. Or, buy both, live with them for a while, keep the one you like best. I believe the SHA Gold has remote and the AI does not, which would be a big factor for some people, me included. |
