| Sonos turns your house into an ipod I can't understand why anyone would knock hard drive based systems. If you can get sound quality equality why deal with hundreds/thousands of cds/lps when you can easily navigate disc stored media. I'm thinking those who knock can't do it. | |
| Upgrade entire system, speakers first My first suggestion, buy preowned here on audiogon from proven sellers and save huge money. I've been doing this for 8-10 years now and wish someone would have advised me similarly. The markup on audio equipment is crazy and most audio nuts take g... | |
| Best value Bookshelf speaker Merlin TSM. They aren't cheap, but you will stop looking. Bobby has the best customer service possible. | |
| Do audiophiles have a high divorce rate? I'm in for one. Happily remarried to a wonderful woman and couldn't be happier. Of interest, her ex was an audiophile as well??? You should have seen her face the first time I brought up speakers when we were first dating! | |
| Beginning projector... New question, can projector be used as a regular tv, as in bulb life and dependability? How about room lighting? | |
| New DAC to replace bel canto dac 2 Yes, the dac 3 is out with an improved clock. It's $2500 or so. | |

| Suggestions on an integrated amp for Merlin TSMM Can't wait to get my Filharmonia! I'm using a sophia electric el34 with my vsm-mm. Quite pleased with this setup for now. | |
| Digital Cable Help I've heard great things about the new stereovox, the XV2. | |
| Looking to Upgrade and enter Hi-Fi world Agree, NAD is good sound, but I've heard rumors of quality control problems of late. | |
| Looking to Upgrade and enter Hi-Fi world If you are interested in using a 2 channel/HT combo system then you cannot do better than Meridian for your pre/processor. My evolution included:1.B&K ref 30 and 502.Outlaw 1050, I think.3.Sunfire pre4.Meridian 5615.Meridian 568I have since se... | |
| B&W, Dynaudio, Dali or what else? I've owned several models of the B&W and they are fine speakers. I now have Merlin VSM MM and they are entirely different league IMHO. If you are going to spend this kind of money I would at least try to get a demo. They are the most revealing... | |
| Transport for Bel Canto DAC2 hard drive is dead quiet. I am very pleased. | |
| AV Receivers for Quad 11L / L center / Quad Lites Agree, but I have heard of problems recently with NAD. |
