| Storing CDs to play... Carousel? You seem to be set on cd storage as opposed to cd ripping, Big cd storage devices are going away it seems. Units like the Olive which stores cd's without a computer and will load your music and certain amount for free at least at one time they did... | |
| Speaker Choice Great system you have begun to assemble. Love the McIntosh line. Speakers I have heard that you may find of interest are the Magico and Klipsch line. The VSA line I find quite appealing with my MA6600. In deed enjoy the trek to your sonic bliss. P... | |
| Favorite Female vocals that give you goose bumps Phyllis Hyman and Anita Baker. | |
| New Acurus and Aragon amps. Anyone hear them yet? Still have my ACT 3 and ACT 5 ACURUS. Still sound great and rock solid reliable. New line would be on my short list, if I were in the market. No dealers in my area, but they do have a return policy I believe. So little to lose in trying. | |
| Speaker recommendations, budget $10-15K You have much to choose from in that price range. For some of your conditions and wants, look into the Von Schweikert Audio line. I have the VSA MK4jr's. Great sound far under your budget. They have others in their line which may fill your sonic a... | |

| Anyone Ever Listen To Home Theater Thru Headphones Yes indeed, usually because of not wanting to disturb others in the house at the time. Even without that concern, a good sounding, comfortable set of cans give a great listening experience and sonically better than most TV speakers. | |
| McIntosh D100 Digital preamp review Sandy.. you should post your system, would love to view it. | |
| ? about Sony XA5400ES Not familiar with the XA5400ES, however as Kr4 mentions, it may not have that feature. Amazingly some higher end players have fewer features as if to mimic a high end turntable where they don't even have a end of record return or shut off. Better ... | |
| Cured of upgraditis? Paying for kids tuition and loans for college. Yes Lord! I am healed. | |
| Audio Equipment... the word Cool... and Life Cool for myself equates to confidence. Being comfortable with who you are and thankful for what you have earned. Then be it gear to clothes to cars or more, having your own style makes it cool for you. | |
| Speakers for EL34 amp: $1,500 - $2,000 Daber Audio Monitor 3 speakers may fit your vision. Find they work well with my tube gear integrated amps. In my case KT 88 tubes. | |
| marantz integrated The PM8004 is one of three integrated amps I have. A McIntosh MA6600 and a tube unit as well. For the money, even at list price, or regardless of. It is indeed a solid unit. Good sound, good features, good build. I would not hesitate to recommend.... |
