Threshold T2 vs. Bryston SP26 vs. Plinius M8
the m8 with your system 
if Sony had been around earlier - format wars
a third hd dis format is threatening to br introduced in the summer. so far, the players and software have not caught the imagination, or money of the general public. 
Has any compared the Avid Diva to the VPI scout.
the avid diva is a very refined table. the vpi might be the popular choice, but the diva would be a destination. many scout owners start figgiting to improve performance rather quickly. both are sound choices, but the diva is special. 
why are most new releases going to four sides?
selling a record to same consumer twice is the main function of the 45rpm discs. so much for a 'long player'. the pops, clicks, and other assorted defects are much clearer. 
New Movie Releases in Hi-Rez Only??
its not true. both new DVD formats are floundering. high resolution may make the evening news look better, but its no guarantee that it will improve the way a film looks(or sounds). in some cases it actually hurts. there are also no basic standard...

sony's insistance on content censorship is guaranteed to kill their great ideas every time. always bet on artistic freedom. 
Best bang for the buck turntable?
unless you have a huge record collection there's no need to even go there. if you buy anything though, go used. 
Audiolab alive?
not knocking IAG, or the overpriced Tag MacLaren stuff(that was a knock), just saying that its not the same company. the original audiolab stuff was (and is) an incredible value. 
Audiolab alive?
the name is...made in china 
Vinyl records grading scale
by sticking with a more selective visual grade you reduce the risk of noise, though the risk is still there. 
Meridian vs. Audio Research CD Players
the 588 will be a more refined 506..this is the way to go it you basically like the sound of your system, and don't want a change in direction 
Vinyl records grading scale
for the most part, records are graded visually by collectors. a visual nm which is under m- or m is as low as you really need to go. its a crapshoot. 
Heard the Abbingdon Music research CD player?
i keep digging and no one in this industry knows of any such factory. no address....nada. 
Anyone compare Bryston B100 and Creek Destiny?
i'm a long time fan of bryston, but in this case its the the creek.
