| The CD player is dead....... Devilboy, the most on-target post of the whole thread. Maybe nobody told you though, LSD is dead... It has been replaced by HD video downloads. | |
| The CD player is dead....... What a discussion, 117 posts so far including this one. Here are the points I find most compelling on both sides:The CD should not die, yet:1. Owning and having access to physical media is attractive to many, with cover art, liner notes and a tact... | |
| The CD player is dead....... Devilboy, a more relevant subject line to me would be: "The 16/44.1 format is dead..." Maybe the answer is yes, but not in the direction I want. There are at least hundreds of millions of downloads each day at resolutions much lower than red book ... | |
| The CD player is dead....... Devilboy, aside from actually resembling your statement, I have some questions for you. Does your hard drive sound better than your cd player? Does your hard drive sound as good as your cd player? Do you not care about having physical media to hol... | |
| musical fidelity a5 tipped-up treble The PrimaLuna and Cary would warm things up considerably. Both very good. Marantz idea is very good one in this case as well. | |
| Yet Another Speaker Choice Question Agree with Steveaudio. The Dyns will crave Solid State, so if keeping the amp, I would look elsewhere for speakers. The Sonus Fabers are a COMPLETELY different direction - warm to a fault perhaps, boardring on rolled-off. Their Classic series is s... | |
| Are you a Verificationist about audio? Interesting discussion. But it seems like an effort to label or create a logical construct around a set of observations that are ultimately difficult to properly frame - an exercise where words and definitions ultimately fall even shorter than our... | |
| Quick poll: Most enjoyable audio magazine ? I find Stereophile the most enjoyable because of Sam Tellig. | |

| Musical 5-channel power amp under $600 used? I would think the trends would not cut it with ht. Get a used emotiva 5-channel amp. Or a new Emotiva UPA-5 for $549. Very powerful and their stuff very well reviewed. | |
| Music vs. Components First I listen to my system, say "it sounds good". Then say "it sounds like crap in this way or that" and make mental notes on how I could fix it (usually = $$$). Then I say "Gee, I like this song", and then just listen and have positive mental ch... | |
| Bellari 129 or phono imput on my onkyo pre/pro My guess is the bellari, but the onkyo might surprise. Listen to the pre you have for while and if you feel the sound is overly dry or something is missing, add the tubes later. | |
| The $5000.00 Complete System Challenge Questions about your space, taste and current amplifier are critical.Rega and Quad ideas are excellent.Before going all in for speakers, here are some suggestions for a balanced system within your budget.Used system from Agon right now:CD Player-P... | |
| The $5000.00 Complete System Challenge I agree on the integrated amp vs separates in this price range. I would spend about 1K on cd, 1.5-2K on integrated amp, and 2-2.5K on speakers. If you are willing to sacrifice the lowest octives, you are going to get better sound per dollar out of... | |
