SOtM player?
There is a old saying....you get what you pay for. I never understood why people opt for players with crappy user interface. Why it is not an important consideration when selecting a player? IMHO, Lumin and Aurender players offers the best app exp...

Jazz vocalists which may not be as real as we think/imagine
@mozartfan, Diana Krall is a real deal...if you find ‘a case of you’ dull you’re clearly not a fan of her or understand jazz genre. I have watched her perform live few times and she has a beautiful voice. Also, it would help tremendously to get a ...

Good entry level cables
“Stranded cable may sound good, but presents a sound that is not quite as natural.”auxinput, It’s seems you have not heard Audio Envy cables. If you did, you have not made the above statement. The bottom line is most top cable designs utilize OCC ...

Good entry level cables

@hilde45,I recommend Tannoy’s Stirling loudspeakers. They may be bit out of your budget but i think they are everything you’re looking for. Speak to Kevin at Upscale Audio and see if he can arrange in-home audition. In addition, consult with GIK A...
