| what system musicians prefer? Do they care? With a few exceptions, most musician's systems I've read about are mid-fi at best. (a) they're more interested (and dependent on) making music than listening to it, (b) they never had anyone expose them to great-sounding gear, (c) most musicians ... | |

| CD player reliability.... good and bad. My Pioneer Elite BDP-05 has been in service for many years; I leave it on 24/7, as the boot time was always maddeningly slow, but rarely (if ever) with a disc loaded if I'm not playing it. I have an Audio Research CD-1 in storage that no longer r... | |
| Salk Sound vs Legacy Audio I've had a pair of Veracity monitors for a number of years, paired with a Dehavilland tube pre and Edge G8 amp. Having never used these with a SS pre I can't comment on this combination, but these have always floated my boat and not been fatiguin... |
