| Anyone heard the NAD S-500 CD player? I took home a NAD S-500 and a YBA CD Integre for a week, took the NAD back and paid for the YBA. The NAD did nothing wrong, just didn't really involve me at all. If you like a well balanced, analog sound, go for the YBA. Oh, my system is an AR SP1... | |
| Advice on preamp choice Audio Research preamps are terrific IMHO | |

| Tuner Advice. Help a lost soul. I picked up a used Magnum FT-11 tuner here on Audiogon for $260. Helluva tuner, helluva deal | |

| Looking for some info on speakers Well put Albert, let your ears decide. I would insist on listening to them in YOUR room to be sure they sound right in your environment. Any good dealer will take a credit card imprint and let you try before you buy. If you can, try out the Totem ... | |
