XLR interconnects?
Lacee - CD might be not as good as LP but judging different period Beatles on CD I can see big difference in quality between early and late Beatles recording. Long time ago I had Beatles on vinyl and it was pretty much the same - early recordings ... 
Are there any Violin or Cello players out there?
Guido - The oak floor you walk on is different in color and hardness from northern and southern states. Woods suitable for making instruments such as guitar have the highest ratio of strength to weight (cedar, spruce). Origin of the spruce, for in... 
DAC vs. New CDP
Audiotomb - Benchamark will do it. It has three inputs (Toslink, S/PDIF, AES/EBU) and each of them with proper adapter can go to any format (same chip) as I understand it.People who oppose oversampling in general are against digital filtering and ... 
Extreme hardglass CD
Rja - do you live in Japan? My nephew lives in Tokyo. 
are all amps equal
Yes, but that's not helpful to the OP, who has indicated his intention to keep his bookshelf speakers.Sorry - I lost the focus.

If you believe that piffle then you'll probably believe any nonsense...Shadorne - I believe it after watching "Red Violin". I pretty much believe "any nonsense" as you stated (with exception of shadow government, black helicopters and area 51).

Tvad - I found bass to be directional in spite of claims tha it is not and some LP recording that were mono below 150 Hz. It is probably in harmonics but wouldn't sub make it worse.Also - don't you feel that speakers like Revel Saloon designed to ...

Knownothing - I ordered 3 Sharon Isbin CDs recently - still waitingJpgsf - I was not aware that Sharon Isbin plays "Hey Joe". What is the name of the record? 
balanced vs unbalanced output
Dreadhead - I'm not sure why you're bringing Rocky into this. Mlsstl - when I mentioned no technical reasons I was thinking of cable alone. You are right - there are some shortcomings of balanced like distortions caused by transformer at lower fre...

Dcrookham53 - I'm afraid I might be one of them - she often mentions cruel husband that has systems in 4 rooms. Sorry. 
XLR interconnects?
Dave - we talkin' correlation here - exceptions always happen. 
are all amps equal
Keslerd - Do you think it adds extension, definition, amplitude, punch or all of the above? 
are all amps equal
Tvad - I'm just trying to understand what makes the difference. As for the lack of correlation between price and quality - are you saying there is none and everything is just random? Can one purchase $1k speaker as good as $50k speaker? 
are all amps equal
Tvad - you have much more experience with audio gear than I do, but it seems to me that there is some correlation between quality of the speaker and its price tag. Good transducers are expensive (tweeters included) and designer have certain constr...

Lacee - Boom box people don't listen to vinyl but they influence recording quality (as well as MP3 people). I do have The Beatles "Love" but it's remastered CD. It has nothing to do with pressing quality. It just simply means that somebody altered...
