The ART is really pretty good according to some who own it and have compared it to o... | |
| Amps on the cheap....real cheap Buy two Applied Audio Research SLA 2 amps. They cost $250 new each. One would also be enough. These are studio amps and sound 85% as good as the best solid state amps one can buy. I know as I have owned SS amps like the JC1's, Belles Reference and... | |
| Vinyl vs. top-notch digital I think great digital does indeed sound better than vinyl. One basic reason, I cannot get past all the noise with even the best of vinyl systems. All those clicks and pops etc - they drive me crazy and get in the way of the music for me.I hear to ... | |

| How much longer will CDs be made? CD's just plain sound better then downloaded music right now. I will buy CD's until that changes at a cost less then my CD player - $1800.Bill | |

| Can pro amps possibly sound good? Crown, QSC, etc To clarify the AR SLA 1 and SLA 2 amps are stereo amps that can also be switched to mono operation. When I say 85% of the best - I mean the best. 85% to me may sound like 95% to you - very subjective.These amps will sound as good as any $2000 amp ... | |
| Can pro amps possibly sound good? Crown, QSC, etc Surprised the Applied Audio Research Labs SLA1 or SLA2 have not come up. You can get the SLA1 for $189 and it is 100 watts per side. The SLA2 is 200 watts per side and $289.These are 80-85% as good as many great amps I have owned. Every Aphile sho... | |
