| Zu Druids My experience with the Gallos is limited, but my instinct is that it would be a poor choice for your situation because it tends toward brightness. | |
| Best digital cable to audition? I agree. And I would add that, if we were to confine our observations to just those digital cables that are correctly engineered (assuming we knew), I think we would still hear differences, which is a very curious thing. | |
| Off Topic: Any Photography Sites Like Audiogon? Uh... Audiogon has a sister site: Photogon. | |
| Cost effective mods for a Sony SCD-777ES I regretted modding that player. The resolution improved as well as all the ancillary qualities that come with better resolution, but the player lost its soul in the process.Good for all of us to keep that in mind. Upgrading a bunch of parts is no... | |
| do burnt CD copys sound as good as originals? That all makes sense, Shadorne, but I think that some of us have had contradicting experiences. I have a CD burner device, a Panasonic thing with two drawers. It's about 6 years old. When I use it to make compilations, they sound decidedly inferio... | |

| do burnt CD copys sound as good as originals? I would love to make a compliation CD for evaluating components and for taking to shows, but my experience has been the same: the copies do not sound good enough. I sure it's possible to make great ones, however. | |
| If you had to pay full retail, would you...??? Man, that Music Direct catalog is like audiophile pornography. I love looking at it, but I can't imagine buying much of that gear at full list price. Someone must be, right? Does anyone know if they, or Acoustic Sounds, will discount if you call t... | |
| The best CD Player for the money It's nice to see a modder here with more confidence than Alex. Let the games begin! | |

| Small monitors good at low listening levels? I second the Green Mountain suggestion and add that it holds for all of their models, including the $1000 Europas. It's why I bought them. | |
| HELP Digital bad, vinyl good??? Why would that cause the distortion, and why with CD and not LP? | |
| Running monoblocks in parallel to increase watts?? However, if your speakers will accommodate it, you could set up a vertical bi-amp. This won't get you 200 wpc but will get you some of the benefits you are seeking. | |
| "Budget" preamp choices. The relatively low input impedance of the Pass can be a potential source of performance compromise with tube preamps that have high output impedances, which many do. Doesn't mean you won't find bliss with a tube preamp, just something to be mindfu... |
