| Looking for a component for ripping and playing CD's. I also mention the Melco N100 - which comes equipped with either 2tb or 5tb internal HDD, depending on the size of your CD collection and how many high-rez files you might buy over the next decade. The Melco D100 disc ripper/player and the S100v2 ... | |

| Non-fatiguing speakers in $10K range? Vancouver BC is not far, and you might be able to hear a few speakers in your price range that are not available in Seattle to hear. With the currency exchange being very advantageous to US shoppers. I also recommend the Fink Team KIM, with the dr... | |
| Requesting opinions about 4 specific amplifiers Have a look at the Audia Flight Integrated Amps - FLS9 or FLS10. They have the speed and transparent quality that will bring your Dynaudios to life. | |
| Revel Performa3 Cabinet Defect A couple of notes - we have no idea if the Revel Performas in the OP are brand new or 5 years old. Are they second hand? Warranties often do not cover speaker finishes as the manufacturer cannot control where or how the speaker has be used. Sitti... | |
| Should Amps be plugged into a power conditioner? Of course you can and should use a power conditioner but it does depend on which one. I can recommend the Audience power conditioners or at a less expensive price the Puritan PSM156. Which does DC removal as well. | |
| Turntable advice I see no reason to start with any 'table more expensive than the Pure Fidelity. It will hold it's value while you acquire your record collection and cleaners, new phono stage etc. Maybe in 3 years you'll triple your spend but until then, you'd be ... | |
| Good small/single outlet power conditioner for preamp. If you plug the new pre-amp into your power amp with no source devices attached (while connected to the PSM156) - any noise from just the pre-amp and power amp? If so, try a different set of interconnects? Are you using RCA or XLR cables to conne... | |
| Replacement for Shindo Does it have to be Japanese - have a look at Canor. | |

| Grandinote becoming more U.S.A. Benveuto, Massi Grazie a Reinhardt! I have heard the brand in Munich and the sound is always spectacular. Good luck for the future! | |
| Weiss 204 to Bricasti M1 series? If you like the way the Weiss 204 sounds now, try it with a 9V4A Plixir Linear Power Supply. Takes the performance up a step or two. Also try the better Plixir Statement DC cable from the supply to the Weiss - well worth the small extra cost. | |
| Is there such a thing as a good medium priced music streamer? The Lindemann Limetree Streamers offer excellent sound quality, the ability to attach a USB drive to store files, With the addition of a Plixir Linear Power Supply it becomes a very fine value. There are two models - the Limetree Bridge 2 (without... |
