| Analog vs Digital No real need for debate, analog is music, digital is convienient. I listen and enjoy analog, I use digital for background listening. Digital has improved a great deal, but is still light years behind analog for pure musical enjoyment. | |
| Yet another Hum problem To add to this thread, I tried everything to get rid of hum. Power cord changes, ferrites, cable placement, filters, etc...Damned hum would diminish, but wouldn't go away completely. Drove me nuts listening to quiet passages, especially with my ch... | |
| Preamp for Classe CA400 and Confidence 5 I agree with Pops, get a tube pre with your Classe, I have Classe amps with an Audio Research preamp, no looking back for me. I haven't had the opportunity to hear CJ pre's, but I have owned a couple of different Audio Research pre's and I love 'e... | |
| Top Ten Speakers of All Time? Apogee Duetta's and Martin Logan Quests, once you've had panels, you never go back to boxes for critical listening | |
| $1k speakers / Audio Refinement Complete I'm using an Audio Refinement integrated with B&W CDM2 SE speakers in my office system, great match for a reasonable price. | |

| Cat Stevens.... Great Artist or Wacko? Wow, politics creeping into Audiogon. For what it's worth, freedom of expression remains a fundamental right, if you don't agree with the topic, then either challenge the author or ignore it. Putting a price on someone's head for a literary work i... | |
| Best Integrated amp 'around' $1000??? Audio Refinement Complete, there's no real competition in the sub $1000 price range, they generally can be had for sub-$700 here on Audiogon. | |
| Perentage system $$ for speakers Your speakers ought to cost the same as the sum total of your source components. Add up the cost of your analog rig, digital source (CD player or seperates), tuner, etc. Jeff | |
| High current or high wattage amps Try to get your hands on a Levinson, Krell, or Classe amp. They have gobs of current. I used a 100wpc Classe with a a pair of 82db speakers, great match | |
| Any harm in leaving gear in the cold? Thanks guys, I'll haul the gear inside, the humidity arguement certainly has merit. Again, thank you Jeff | |
| Coaxial Output Nope, not true at all. Get a cable made up, shouldn't be too expensive, I got a Tara digital cable from Audio Advisor for around $50 a few years back |
