| Cd player for the Levinson 38,332 and B&W S805? Giving the rather unforgiving character of your ML gear, and especialy B&W speakers, I would suggest trying the cew ARC CD3 mk II cdp ... it is an tremendous value at 5500 USD (NEW). | |
| Best transport for under $500 Any quality CD transport will blow away a similarly priced CDP.Theta Data Basic II, PS Audio Lambda II or Muse Model 5 would be my first choices for under 500$. | |

| TacT2.2-A true Revolution? I borrowed one from a polish distributor. Unfortunately we have had problems with establishing communication between the TacT and my computer, so I was not able to test its room correction features. However, I used his digital pre-amp capabilities... | |
