| Advice on New Integrated Amplifier In case anyone is interested. I demoed Naim equipment over the weekend with Totem Forest Signatures in Chicago. Just great. I also heard back from Creek. They can locate a replacement Alps switch for 89 pounds plus shipping. They indicate the swit... | |

| Advice on New Integrated Amplifier Wow! Great stuff. I'm going to look at the used Bryston, Creek Destiny, McIntosh 6500, Sim products, BUT I don't even know where to begin in trying to fix the Creek. Just today both channels dropped out, and back in, and out. I wish I bought it un... | |
| Advice on New Integrated Amplifier It's frustrating. And, strangely, I'm still open to buying another Creek. But it's unacceptable. I have an old Denon integrated (early 90s) that still works. I really love the Creek but am a little shy in buying another. I know Creek and Music Hal... | |
| Anyone have experience with Vincent Audio - SV-236 Thank you for your response. I'd like to pick one of these up. | |
| Recommendation: great floorstander & amp $3K ea Perhaps I should just stick with one system, moving the Totem Arros out and just spend $4k or so on a nice loudspeaker set? The recommendations thus far have been great. Thank you. I am off to research the Ohm make. I do like Sonus Faber floorstan... | |
| Recommendation: great floorstander & amp $3K ea The Naim does seem to match well from stats and a local dealer's recommendation. The Staffs are on my shortlist for sure. I do like Totem's smaller footprint (WAF) and overall presentation. With regard to the Harman Kardon HK 990, I've seen that i... | |
| Recommendation: great floorstander & amp $3K ea The VR-22s are intriguing for sure. I appreciate this recommendation. | |
| Recommendation: great floorstander & amp $3K ea @ZD542,I think that I could have been clearer. I do not have any issue with the Creek or Rotel--I was just stating my main dislikes in "a system" so folks could give recommendations. The Creek 5350se is fantastic. I wish it had a little more power... | |
| Recommendation: great floorstander & amp $3K ea @ SfarThat is great information. I like that you feel so strongly about both your Cary and the Simaudio. I'm going to research the Devore loudspeakers you finally settled on. The Proac models were on my shortlist so I think your experience could b... | |

| Wish List For Vinyl Pressings Olivia Tremor Control's Dusk at Cubist Castle. A few were pressed on vinyl in 1996-1997, but they are rare.If you are a Beatles fan you should check out this album. http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=10:jxfpxqthld0e | |
| Wish List For Vinyl Pressings I'm the third or something in this vote, but Apple Corps. simply needs to reissue all Beatles vinyl in stereo and mono--relative to what was originally issued. | |
| The first-best-last analog item you ever bought First: probably a really bad 45rpm single in the late 70s. I used to get $3 allowance and bought top 40 hits from 1978 through about 1985.Best: Rega Planar 2 turntable. It was the "best" not on quality but because it got me back into records in a ... | |
| Mac Mini Oh, here's a picture of a clock: http://www.tentlabs.com/Products/cdupgrade/xo2xo3/index.htmlReducing the vibration of this clock is going to result in less jitter? It's a circuit board. |
