| Shootout: AMR CD-77 vs. AR CD7 vs. Wadia 581se Thanks again for all the feedback. Differing points of view have always been a part of this hobby/obsession.

| Shootout: AMR CD-77 vs. AR CD7 vs. Wadia 581se I’m pleased my post elicited so much feedback (even the shortsighted ones I disagree with)! In an ideal world, I would have had all three machines set up in my own system, that’s obvious. However, given the constraints of time and not wishing to t... | |

My audio system is plugged into 4 dedicated 20 AMP lines, so power issues never crop ... | |
| adding a fan to an enclosed cabinet Sounds like many of us have gone through a similar exercise. A few years ago I had a cabinet custom made to house (most of) my equipment. The rear wall of the cabinet is 3" closer to the front than the top and both sides. This allowed me plenty of... | |
| use of treatments and sound consultant Just before Mark Levenson sold Cello (and subsequently went out of business), I delt with Jerry Del Colliano at the Los Angeles Cello showroom. Since that time, Jerry started and has evidently been very succcessful running the website AUDIOREVOLUT... | |
