| Phillips 963 SA or Denon 2200 for SACD playback? I own the Philips but don't use it for SACD.Unles you want multi-channel SACD playback, get a Sony 9000ES. These do SACD right and can be had for $500 or so (used). | |
| Best material for isolation purposes I use (4) sorbothane hemispheres underneath and (6 - 8) Black Diamond Racing cones on top of my preamp. | |
| Most Refined? Plinius 102 - Bryston 4B - Pass 250 Thanks for the responses gentelmen.As for "which came first", I think the amplifier is AS important as the speaker for making good music.

I count myself in the "audiophile camp", not being a friend of Mr. Gilmore or someone financially dependent on his success.I think these speakers are more than "O. K." but do agree that these, and most hi-end products, are grossly overpriced.I lau... | |
| Check this out I always return broken stuff and never get an argument.The new threat is bogus albums dressed up to look like the real thing but in fact are not.For instance, I was doing some casual saturday afternoon shopping (Best-Buy) when I found what I thoug... | |
| Run direct from ML 390s CD player without preamp? I did this with my ML-39 and ARC VT-100 with good results.There are those who claim using a preamp results inbetter sound. Try both and decide what is right for you. | |
| Is it possible to shield unshielded speakers? I'd wait until I was sure there is a problem.If the speakers are screwing with your picture, then follow Ozfly's advice and see if you can replace the drivers with shielded ones.Lastly, you can buy some sheet copper and try to fashion the shield y... | |
| Is it possible to shield unshielded speakers? You COULD shield them but the shielding would (probably) have to applied to the outside of the cabinet.Why not use your current speaks for surrounds or a bedroom system and get new shielded ones? | |
