| Preamp: Parasound P5 vs Rotel RC1590 Between reviews and speaking to Parasound directly, I would encourage you to consider the P7 a better preamp than the P5, and I believe the P7 also has RS232 connectivity. The DAC in the P5 isn't meant to be more than a convenience. I haven't hear... | |
| Good Used Speakers ($8K-10K) For A Little Listening Room Get Fritz speakers, new, for half that. Anything with a ScanSpeak mid-woofer is going to be a pheonomenal 2-way. He makes several. Best,Erik | |

| Copper vs Optical Fibre @amg56 You might want to check out Meridian and see what they are offering lately. They have always been at the bleeding edge of digital, powered speakers. | |
| Copper vs Optical Fibre History really. In terms of analog transmission of audio, copper is good enough, and plenty easy to modulate. Fiber is relegated to digital only. So there's that. Next, if we are talking digital, while the USB standard evolved, the S/PDIF spec got... | |
