| Best Integrated Amp? Help... I will second the Shanling A3000. | |
| Does a Postal Money order need to "clear"? There is a surefire way to avoid all of this crap. I only accept Paypal. | |
| Great jazz and Rock unknown GEMS Share yours Five Days in July - Blue Rodeo (actually any disc by BR - "the best band hardly anybody outside of Canada has ever heard"). | |
| Neil Young goes Blu Ray think it will catch on? "will be released this Fall".I will believe it when I see it. The Neil Young archives have been up for release for about the past decade but each "new" technology that surfaces stops him dead in his tracks as he determines "is this the one I have ... | |
| Van Morrison remasters coming soon.... Remasters that were released this past January are waaaaaaaaay better than the originals. Regardless of the quality of my source (and I have had many great ones) his closely miked vocals have made the original discs almost unlistenable. The remast... | |
| Tube Pre-amp BAT, ARC, EAR, Sonic Frontiers I recently purchased a Belles 21A after having an ARC LS-25 Mk II and the Modwright 9.0 with tube rectified power supply. In my system the Belles is the equal, if not better, than the two of those. The Belles is an underrated gem. | |

| Best "RedBook" player out there Doge 6 with upgraded tubes for $1500. If it was made in North America or Europe it would retail for $4995, Stereophile would have an 'A' rating on it and call it a screaming bargain. | |
| Best Tube CDP for $2000 Budget Doge 6 from Pacific Valve. Spend an additional $100 for upgraded tubes and your total is $1500 plus shipping and it will blow away any of the players that have been listed in this thread. | |
| How do you pay? Why? I only use Paypal. Been burned too many times by the "check is in the mail". With Paypal, the transaction is complete and well worth the surcharge. | |
| State of HDCD and SACD Both SACD and HDCD are on life support and will never be anything more than a tiny niche. DVD Audio is dead. The replacement for redbook has yet to be invented. | |
| Consonance Droplet CDP owners I had this player for 2 months and I don't recall hearing this. What I did hear, however, from a fully broken-in player was a restricted soundstage and a mechanical, non-lifelike sound. I dumped it at a big loss. One of the most overrated pieces o... | |
