NAD T585 and M55 Universal Players
They are basically the same internally, just different casing for the M55. 
ProAc Studio 140's or Response D15's?
I own the D-15's and think they are great speakers, definitely a step up from the 140's and very similar to the 1SC's but just a tad better all around in my opinion. 
Best bang for the buck turntable?
Buy a P3 and never look back. There are upgrades available to improve the performance if you wish to do so later.The table sounds great for the money, just stay away from Rega cartridges, much better available at a similar pricepoint. 
Paradigm Servo 15 V2
I have the original Servo 15, a great sub for the money and extremely powerful, I have never been able to overload it. It is the one component that has been a mainstay in my system, many others have come and gone.Very accurate and tunefull bass fo... 
Arcam vs. Rega
I just sold my Rega Planet 2000 and bought the Arcam FMJ CD-23. What a great player for the money and close to the very best in my opinion for a list price of $2,200.00. A musical player that has made me very happy and definitely outclasses the Re... 
NHT SuperOnes
I use these as rears myself and have to say for $300.0 you won't get much better. I wouldn't use them as fronts for home theater or two channel music, but as surrounds they are more than adequate. I drive them with a Sony ES 777 at 120 watts per c... 
True Bookshelf speakers--which best?!
All I am going to say is Proac Response 1SC. Go and hear, as you will be amazed! A hard bookshelf to beat. 
Hi Fi Car Audio
Maybe dynamics was the wrong description. I didn't say my car system sounded better than my home system. My listening room is 20" x 20" and my car cabin is much smaller. I can generate much higher spl's in my car than I can at home and at a much l... 
Best Sub Rel or Muse
For $2000.00 or less the Paradigm Servo 15 takes on and beats all comers. Very musical sub and awesome for hometheater. List is $1500.00 but can be had for $1200.00 to $1300.00. The lower end Rel subs aren't in the same league in regards to output... 
Best Subwoofer(s) for SF Guarneri Homage
Definitely take a look at the Paradigm Servo 15. This is a very musical sub and has gotton rave reviews. Stereophile rates it class "B", but says it's borderline class "A". After owning this piece for about six months I can see why. I run this sub... 
Hi Fi Car Audio
Some of you guys are nuts! I've got a $30,000.00 home system and still love my $5000.00 car system! If done right, the car system can offer dynamics that are almost impossible to recreate at home. There's nothing like getting in the car and blowin... 
Amplifier Suggestions?
Check out the new Rotel RB 1090. Stereophile raved about this amp and its 380 x 2 power output. I just got mine and I'm very impressed. It blows away the Aragon 4004MKII it replaced. One of the best values in audio right now. 
Digital Coaxial Cable 75 ohms choices
Canare is excellent cable and I've tried many of them. Just check out the cable section in Stereophiles recommended components for 1999 or 2000. They rate Canare as good as any digital cable on the market and better than models from Kimber. 
stereo system under 6K
Good suggestions from above, but it depends on what type of music you listen to and how much power you desire. I'm into many kinds of music, but I'm primarily a rock and roller. The systems mentioned above focus on front end components more and ar... 
How do Mission Speakers rate?
I used to be a mission fanatic about 12 to 13 years ago. I think mission had sort of fallen from grace somewhat, as sales and distributorship had fallen off in the U.S. Now they have definitely come back strong, although I don't think their speake...
