| Updating my preamp.Frustrating..You Bet Speaking of PreAmps, you might want to look into the Hovland, a great tubed pre, that you could most certainly buy here on Audiogon. It doesn't, however, have a remote. Other PreAmps of note are the Herron, Joule Electra's LA-100 and, of course, C... | |

| Whats the deal with CD players? Listen to practically any CD player that interest you. Take some time to acquaint yourself with its sound. And then listen to the Audio Aero Capitole, just for the purposes of differentiation, as this player is certainly expensive. This will expos... | |
| Tube Pre-amps for audition list I'd second Buckingham on the Rogue Magnum 99 pre. I currently own it after having owned a number of solid state pre's and it is exceptional! Depth of soundstage, detail, musicality, a perfect match to balance the "characteristics" of a solid state... | |

Taste are, indeed, relative, and "validating" ones opinion seems a relatively healthy thing to do. I... | |
| Are You Happy? I am quite happy. The recent adition of the Audio Aero Capitole has seen to that. It is an exceptional player that has brought to life CD's, that were previously dismissed to CD purgatory. This fact coupled with the (small, but) growing awareness ... | |
| Any Levinson owners/critics out there? I have owned a number of pieces of Levinson gear, from their pre-amps to their transport to their CD players. All in all there was a distinct lack of musicality, warmth and sweetness. I will admit that the 39 was an exceptional CD player, but over... | |
| Rega Jupiter vs Marantz SA14 Over the past couple of weeks I've listened to several CD players. The Arcam FMJ, the Naim CD 5 and the Rega Jupiter. In my humble opinion the Jupiter came out on top in every instance. Althought it was close at times between the CD5 and the Jupit... | |
| FMJ CD 23 vs Rega Jupiter I have recently A/B'd these players and in my opinion, there was no real contest. The Rega Jupiter won hands down. I found the FMJ 23 bright and uninviting. On the other hand the Rega was warm, inviting and quite detailed without being "etched." A... |
