UPS strikes again
In addition to all of the above, I suggest you ask Mail Boxes Etc for advise on your claim. Make sure you document all damage with many pictures to help you with your case. Good luck. cheers...... 
Apogee DA1000 converter : still good ??

The best CD Player for the money
There is no right answer to your question. It seems that everyone has a different opinion regarding what is the best. If you compare the audio magazines, you will also see that they have their favorites. My recommendation is you pick some of the a... 
EAD DVD-Master 8000
I was told the EAD 8000 DVD Master ($4,500) would play DVD's via by TV Set (component video connections) and also enable me to run balanced connections to my Rowland Integrated amplifier for 2 channel audio. The unit has a video off switch for aud... 
Pass Aleph 5-Wadia 8XX OR Concentra-FMJ 23
I use my Rowland Concentra amplifier to drive ProAc 2.5 speakers with a Meridian 508.24 as the source. I do not have any experience with the Dunlavy so I cannot comment. The Rowland amp does work okay with the ProAc speakers. 
Linn Ikemi CD Player vs. Other Lower Cost Options
I have had no luck selling my Meridian 508.20 and I was not willing to give the unit away. So, I decided to upgrade my Meridian 508.20 to 24 bit status. The unit was shipped to Meridian for the upgrade and the expected turn around time is 4 weeks ... 
Good Audio Dealer in San Francisco
I purchased a Jeff Rowland Amplifier and ProAc 2.5 Speakers from The Analog Room. They were very helpful in both the equipment selection and listening process and I recommend the store. Of course, they have their likes and dislikes but I enjoyed w... 
Good Audio Dealer in San Francisco
As suggested above, I agree that The Analog Room in San Jose and Music Lovers in Berkeley are your best choices. have purchased equipment from both stores. If possible, I suggest you call both Retailers and arrange a time for your visit so they ca... 
Linn Ikemi CD Player vs. Other Lower Cost Options
Thanks for the above info. Do you have more info on Linn's universal players scheduled for later this year? 
Best sounding CD player for 6,000.
The BAT VK-D5 is very good. Other options are the Linn Ikemi, Ayre CX-7 CD player or a used Meridian 508.24. In any case, I suggest you borrow some players and listen to them in your system. cheers........ 
ayre cx-7cd player
Any new listening updates to the Ayre cx-7cd player? Since this is a brand new design, does it make sense to delay a purchase for 6-8 months? Thanks.. 
Who can repair a Resolution Audio CD-50???
The response from Resolution Audio is very disappointing. In my opinion, they should either repair your unit or provide a less costly upgrade to the newer unit. If the Philips drive is no longer available or cannot be repaired, your unit has no va...

Anybody auditioned new Wadia 301 CDP?
Any new comments on the Wadia 301 CD player? I heard it in the store but was not impressed due to poor associated equipment. I heard the Linn Ikemi vs. the Meridian 588 and the Linn sounded much better. I also compared the Linn to the Rega Jupiter...
