| Recommend a cd player my first suggestion was going to be a used MF A3.5 as well, or a used MF A5 even better. Other players described above are good choices in general, but synergy outside MF line up will be trial and error. | |
| A little help with my first system Just to make sure we are on the same page, all the new integrateds I suggested above can meet your requirements to handle two sets of speakers. I am not sure that a separate pre and two separate amps is the most elegant or highest performing solut... | |
| A little help with my first system First, let me say that the Forest's are wonderful speakers - give them enough room away from walls to breath and enjoy. Second, I love Totem speakers with old Musical Fidelity and Naim integrated amplifiers. Not sure if any of these are in your pr... | |
| creek classic 5350se I would add the Exposure 2010s and Simaudio Moon i-1 to the list. | |
| Opinions on the Dynaudio DM 2/8 I think the Exposure would be fine with the Dyns, either the DM 2/8 or small Excites. The Dyns you are considering aren't better or worse than the Quads, just different. And probably different in a way you will appreciate, especially the DM's - I ... | |
| Your Thoughts on the Best Bookshelf Speaker Kind of "Sophia's" frumpy English sister "Emma", but the newer Harbeth Compact 7ES-3 sounds awfully nice. The Harbeth P3ESR also sounds great in a smaller package. I find these have a similar balance and presence to what I remember about the older... | |
| A little help with my first system Just a qualifier, are you trying to run everything off one receiver? I might recommend starting there if you must, but multichannel receivers are never going to do for you what even a modest dedicated two-channel system can. With that said, here a... | |

| Turntable Recommendation "the better table and arm will make even cheaper cartridges sound much better." Here, here.Some of my suggestions for new. You can do better used, but options vary.VPI Classic and Sumiko would be a nice combination - a little over $3,000.VPI Scout... | |
| Best female vocals on CD Although this might be an acquired taste, I think Holly Cole's Temptation CD from the mid 90's is really great. Spare production, good sonics and engaging interpretations of some of Tom Wait's best material. | |
| New audiophile looking for first speakers. HELP Cmalak has listed some good choices. I add to that some French floorstanding speakers from Triangle and Focal. Very efficient = loud. | |
| Essential Zappa: what's missing from my collectio I second Shut Up And Play Your Guitar, will make you want to cry... And the Grand Wazzu. | |

| Looking to upgrade from Rotel 1062 integrated I really like the combination of Vienna's and Primare amps. At the top of your price limit for a new unit is the I30. For about $1500 you can get the I21. Both sound wonderful, but for the Vienna's I think more current is more better. Staying with... | |
| 3D Bluray players and Tvs I thought Bluray was a big improvement over DVD. I am not yet convinced by early demonstrations I have seen that the 3D "experience" is more enjoyabble. Avatar was spectacular in 3D IMAX, but the medium does not translate well to the smaller scree... |
