| Vintage JBL J2080s from the 1990s... Another "sleeper" JBL are the 640's. I bought a pair in mint condition from my local Goodwill for $48. I tried them with the 30wpc JVC RS33 receiver. The combination sounded excellent with plenty of dynamic range playing Pink Floyd's DSOTM CD. | |

| Is there any such thing as a bad sounding DAC these days? @ghdprentice : What DAC's from the early years of digital sound "hideous"? Inquiring minds want to know! | |
| Is there an 'Audiophile' Reel-to-Reel Machine for Under $1,000? A Pioneer 707 is a good recommendation! I have one. Excellent sound for an affordable price. | |

| From Audio Note AN/J-D to where? The Audio Note E's are copies of Peter Snell's Type E's. I have those, plus Type A's and K's. I recommend you try to find a pair of Type A's in good working condition. They are exceptionally fine speakers easily capable of filling a large space wi... | |
| Advicd Needed on Change from Levinson to Audio Research I'd look for a D75/76 amp instead. That would match better with the SP6B. I have a SP6/D75 pair and am pleased with the sound quality. |
