| Manufacturer competing against their dealers? The manufacturer can build for an OEM and sell their own brand as well, you can't assume the two products are identical. Z-Squared likely does "design" their own wire (haven't figured out how you design wire yet, but I'll let it go) and has Audio ... | |

| Integrated Amp -- $1,500 or less. I stumbled across a used Primare A10 recently, it is one helluva nice integrated and set me back all of $550. Really nice build quality, good remote, and puts out a respectable 50wpc. Not that well know cuz it's Swedish but the ergonomics, compone... | |
| Done and did it again Duct tape, one of man's most impressive inventions! May not be pretty but should get the job done and I'm pretty sure will meet the approval of any guy that happens to notice... Jeff | |
| Phono preamplifier onboard or dedicated ? If you use an outboard phono pre-preamp then you'll have to use an interconnect from tonearm to phono pre-preamp, and then another interconnect from phono pre-preamp to your current line stage. More wires to buy, more stuff in the signal path. Con... | |
| Essay bashing Primedia, Stereophile - and Audiogon "The emergence of Audiogon is emblematic of where all of this marginalization has brought us. Hobbyists no longer participate in a living, breathing marketplace, but whore out trendy, here-today-gone-tomorrow products that have no lasting value, u... | |

| MP3? MD? I'm Clueless Swampy, I tried some Etys a few years ago, for whatever reason they didn't fit in my ears well at all. I'm okay with the SR60's they fold flat and can fit in my laptop bag easily enough. The MD players look interesting but I need something that wi... | |
| MP3? MD? I'm Clueless On,Do I have to pay to download the music I'd like on the iPod, or can I upload my own cd's on it? | |
| Who has a modified Shanling CD-T100? Kidz,I've rolled the tubes in my T100, other than that it's stock so far. My boss had his 200 highly tweaked by his friend (a Chinese tech living in Canada) and is raving about it; he has suggested I get my 100 done as well. What parts were change... | |
| keeping collection organized????? Microsoft Excel works fine for me; I made a workbook with one sheet being LP's, one for CD's, and one "other". Costs nothing and keeps me reasonably organized. Jeff | |
| Dominoes Click on my systems, been there (obviously).... | |
| Peter Gabriel and music like his I absolutely love Gabriel's work, oddly enough I detest Genesis (with and without Mr. Gabriel). If you like Peter Gabriel's experimental/progressive style you may want to check out Gentle Giant and early Jethro Tull. A more recent artist that seem... | |
| Does this tube preamp exist? The LS-9 appears to be a Solid State preamp, although it does meet the rest of my criteria. I looked at Rogue but again, I want to stay balanced if possible. The SF stuff is intriguing; whether or not Chris keeps on working on them is up in the ai... |
