| What's the solid state amp to buy $2500? Dhcod, the Herrons can be upgraded to the current configuration for a reasonable fee. I think Keith produces a great sounding robust product and is a pleasure to deal with. | |

For so many people it's just background stimulation or a fond memory of a time or event in the past. Finding the right mix of performance, sonic attributes and electronic equipment is magical.

| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Matt sounds like a plan. I'm sure that you can get a satisfactory sound from the room. Those darn nodes are hard to fix and no room is perfect. All the best. | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Matt you are correct on trying to do room treatments via internet room measurements is risky at best.

| Cleaning, polishing Speaker Cabinets ? If you go the wax route I really like the Zaino show car polish for clear coated finishes. It is not abrasive and the best part is doesn't leave any film, powder or white residue. Can be found on the Zaino website. | |
