| New Ikea storage unit great for LP's! I needed more record storage. So I tried Bed Bath & Beyond's Crosley record storage box ($33) holds about 75 LP's. It is not stackable as the albums tops are exposed. I always use outside album covers. It doesn't look bad and is pretty sturdy.... | |

| Which CD player to buy, Sony, Meridian, Theta, or? I havn't heard the Theta Miles but the Meridian 508.24 will better the Sony and the Cal Audio. It is a wonderful cdp that gets just about everthing right. | |
| Opera Audio Consonance reference 2,2 CdD Player I'll be purchasing the Reference 2.2. It is extremely neutral. It is definately musical. It has the pace and timing the Meridian has.

The Meridian sounds muddy in comparison. I am still evaluating but it may be the bargain the review, you stated says... | |
| Comments Meridian 507 vs. Arcam 23t CD players I have Meridian 508.24 and its a wonderful cdp. I haven't heard the Arcam fmj23 but I would expect from the comments on Audiogon the Meridian would better it. I bought the Meridian used for $1800. I have seen the Arcam going for around $1200 used.... | |
