| HAVE ALL SALES STOPPED ON AUDIOGON ??? I also agree with the pricing comments above. I look at the ads at least once a week to see what is new. I see way too many sellers milking it for all it's worth. If I am not going to get a decent discount, I just look for the best deal I can get ... | |

| Can You Recommend a Good High Res Digital Audio Player? I just had the chance to check out the Sony HAP-Z1ES HDD player. This looks like something you'd have attached to a rack system or on a stand near where you listen to your headphones. What I am looking for is a portable I-Pod like device. I can se... | |

| price of Oppo players threw the roof The bottom line is that no one is twisting anyone's arm to pay those crazy prices. Perhaps one way of looking at it is that if the people paying those prices had really wanted an Oppo, why didn't they buy one previously? Even when the announcemen... | |
| Does anyone leave their amp and preamp on all the time? I turn my integrated amp off, as I don't think it is good for the wear and tear on it to be on 24-7. I also don't think that it is good for my power bill either. It just seems like a wasted drain of power, cash and the longevity of the equipment. | |
| Integrated amp for my Dynaudio Contour 30s! My personal preference of the ones you've listed is the Anthem STR Integrated. I own on of their integrated amps and it has been a delight to own. It simply does the job well, offering power on demand and the features that you need and want in an ... | |
| New Speakers ... Can't Stop "Listening" Joseph Audio definitely makes speakers to die for. I fell in love with a pair of Pearl 3's that I had the opportunity listened to. Immediately, I realized that I had just met my audio soul mate and that there would be no other speaker for me. Unfo... | |
| Trouble in Fleetwood Mac....... I've been a Fleetwood Mac fan since the days of Bob Welch & Danny Kirwan, who was also fired by the band. Fleetwood Mac is one of the most resilient groups to ever take the stage. Their success and appeal has spanned over a half a century. I a... | |
| TV gives me a headache when its on; any suggestions? I only use my TV to play movies. The rest of the time I am enjoying music on my stereo. Why invest all of this money in audiophile caliber equipment if you are only going to watch TV in your spare time? The common definition for insanity is doing ... | |
| Amps for Paradigm Persona 3f I love Paradigm speakers, as I own a pair of Studio 100 Reference Series speakers that are great for acoustic music with brilliant highs and stunning mid-range. They lack lower range punch, but I don't listen to hard rock, disco, hip hop or rap mu... | |
| Please , Thank you.Help in choosing a CD or a CD/Universal player I have a Marantz SA8005 Super Audio CD that could be your solution. It is built like a tank and has a great DAC that really extends the soundstage. I got it for $899 on Amazon. It might be worth stretching up from your $800 budget | |

| Shopping at Goodwill anyone? I guess that I have been missing out by not checking Goodwill stores out. | |
| Anybody watch the Grammys tonight? You missed a lot of real ugly noise. Most of the music honored (not all, but most) was garbage. I don't count rap and hip hop as music. It is noise. |
