| What is to become of Marantz Reference and HIFI as we know it Very sad to hear about KI passing. I have SA 10 CD player and has been the best unit I bought, sturdy, very nice sounding and hefty. Yes, their reference product is cut above similar priced units elsewhere. | |
| Why HiFi manufacturers don't make active crossovers anymore? By the way, digital crossovers are easy to use but analog one will give you better sound. I had dbx Driverack but was not satisfied with sound. I have used Krell and Apogee, but Marchand has been my most rewarding so far. | |

| Bi amp pros out there I could use some help! First time Bi Amping... I am little late for the game and may have missed some fine points in comments, but wanted to add 2 cents.

| I like my system flat, no tone controls, no eq..........what is your preference, and why. While I agree that tone controls and equalizers do have often degrading effect on overall sound (I am not talking about frequency balance), some recordings will benefit from such treatment. One way to accomplish this to some extent, is using an ac... | |

| Do you trust Audiogon? I do trust Audiogon, they have been fair and prompt. Checking with Audiogon before a large transaction is a good idea. Tammy responds to emails expeditiously. | |
| Value of burn/break in? When I bought Cary Audio SLP 05 preamp, it sounded horrible out of the box. Billy Wright of Cary Audio told me to leave the preamp on with amps off and play something like a radio through the preamp continuously for 50-75 hours (Friday through Sun... | |
