| New CDP or DAC for budget system? You might be able to find a used MSB Link dac Mk 1 or Mk 2 for just a little more than $100. It's probably the only used DAC around that price that would be a decent upgrade in sound from a mass market DVD player. | |
| Speakers for Mesa Tigris I used to have a Mesa Tigris. I loved it's sound and playing around with all those pentode/ triode/ feedback settings, but ended up needing more power. Sounded fantastic with my Sennheisers too. From what I have read, Totem is a bit optimistic wit... | |

| SACD transports? Which models can transmit SACD? As far as I know, there is not yet a standard for outputting an SACD digital signal for consumer grade electronics.

| Class A, B, C? What do they mean? You are getting confused between technical operational classifications of amplifiers, and Stereophile's completely unrelated subjective ratings systems from their review staff. Operational classes of amps are not ratings at all, they are just tech... | |
| Peter Gabriel's "So": How does the remaster sound? I bought the remastered version of "shaking the tree" which contains several tracks off "So". I compared those to my unremastered copy of "So" and was pretty impressed with the changes. Clearer and more dynamic. Less hash tizzle, especially on som... | |
| Help with Martin Logan Aerius Speakers Aerius bass is pretty weak, but i found that Bybee filters really help with bass. It sounds a bit strange, but the timing and impact of the bass has really improved. I hardwirable bybee units are $80 a piece new, or you can buy the external inline... | |
