Does hearing the best in high end audio make your opinions more valid?
treblebob,"It’s hard to fake being able to afford those things, and some shops use this to avoid spending time to explain their qualities."It happens even if you can afford it. That approach is puzzling, to say the least. I was not allowed to ente... 
Budget/value SS power amp recommendation
Older generations NAD is a reliable contender. I cannot guarantee for newer ones, though.sufentanil,What made you pick that name? It is quite unexpected.

calvinj,That is all that really matters. I think it does not even matter if it sounds natural (I am not implying yours does not) as long as you like it. 
Does hearing the best in high end audio make your opinions more valid?
"It’s even better when they tell you that although x costs only 10% of y, it actually sounds just as good, or even better!"Every now and then, I read similar statements. I may be unlucky one, but have never heard a system that sounds same or bette...

What will become of my beloved CDs?
When it comes to digging out CDs someone did not want, two or three years ago I came across an unopened CD in that same library basement. I bought it for $1 and liked it a lot. I went on amazon to see if others had similar response. The first thin...

What will become of my beloved CDs?
bomarc,If you, by any chance, still roam Audiogon forest please read this thread again. Pay special attention to your post from, to the day, 16 years ago. What a vision. 
Replace HDD in Sony HAP Z1ES with an SSD
ott,Thanks. I am as clueless as you so I thought I would ask. Especially because my car instructions say it takes only up to 128GB SD card and I am using 512 with no problem. I do not have 10000 CDs, though. However, I may multiply them on a hard ... 
Replace HDD in Sony HAP Z1ES with an SSD

trelja,I agree on all of your points about plagiarism. However, in this particular case I think it may be a little bit softer case. What I have learned since first reading celander’s post is that those words are quite well-known. I had no clue, bu...

The Best Piano Works of the 20th Century
