Anyone have modem problems with this site?
Exactly the same problem that I have. I probably have the same Motorola modem (SB4200 Surfboard). Like a dummy, I bought my own.DAMMIT, I had to do it to post this.Bill 
Shanling, Jolida, Cary, Tube, SS can anyone compar
Muralman:Thanks once again. I tried to email the guy with the used Jolida but it came back undeliverable. May try to call him.Anyway, have a new question for you. I just got my Cary PH301 and am wondering about the tubes in it. It has three 12AU7 ...

Muralman:Thanks again. I would assume stock tubes as it is almost new but will ask. Sounds like a good buy to me. Someone else is selling new units with some upgrades but I suspect it sounds better than what I have as made. Bill

I checked on the Granite 657 but it's only 20 bit. I have a well made old Denon 20 bit now. Shouldn't I be moving up to at least 24/96 or better? What happens when SACD or HDCD's are played on 20 bit or 24/96 system? Thanks againBill

The best speaker you ever heard?
How about Mirage M1's? They might be the best I've ever heard and nobody mentions them. I have not heard Dunlavey's or BW 800 series either but would like to. I don't particularly like stereo stores as there is always pressure to upgrade to someth... 
Balanced or Unbalanced, which way to go?
Thanks for your help guys. My preamp should be a good match for the amps as it's all Parasound. PLD 2000 preamp (supposed to be class A) and two HCA 2200 II's bridged mono (rated A/B). Lots of power here and very clean. No background noise between...
