| recommendation for best low cost rca interconnect Grannyring, Thanks for mentioning your Joseph Chow IC experience. His pricepoint is still quite reasonable.

| recommendation for best low cost rca interconnect Paradoxically, if your new best low cost IC delivers all that an inexpensive player is capable of into a great amp and speakers then you may find more CD's don't sound as natural as with a more expensive player which better tames the digital mediu... | |
| Amp/Pre-amp recommeded for Soliloquy 6.3 Although I understand your desire for solid state control over the lower frequencies, this can be convincingly and musically achieved with certain tube amps, the lowest cost of which is the Aronov LS960, or even the LS960I integrated which I use i... | |
| Jazz from Europe? Sd2005gt, Thanks for pointing out such a diversity of useful links. Where I recognized the recordings, your lists contain really excellent choices. Many others are new to me. Will keep us all busy seeking them out. | |
| Is There any Truly "High End" Integrated Amp? I have used the Aronov Audio LS-960I which is well worth considering. I have paired it with the very top of the line Mapleshade Records power cord and it has been positively thrilling with a variety of loudspeakers, over the years. At its used pri... | |

| Reimyo 777 vs Victor XL-Z900....amazing Thanks for posting about the audio gods smiling down on you. Interesting that you found the JVC/Victor to be a relative bargain compared to my heart's desire, the Reimyo.Just don't forget to unload some of your items onto the rest of us when it's ... | |
| New Dk SIGN.? With respect to your "working on new speaker cables," doesn't Reimer's ad on Audiogon by Clearsound Audio clearly recommend the superb Reality Cables which were chosen to showcase their speakers at the recent Rocky Mountain Audio Show? I have foun... | |
| Recommend tube amp for $3.5K used I'll put in my Happy New Year recommendation for the Aronov Audio LS-960 which sounds like what you requested. Sorry that Santa missed your house with this one.With its used price down in the $1100 range, it is definitely the "made in USA" bargain... | |
| What's the deal with the Machina Dynamica Clock? Albertporter, Thanks for taking the time to provide a translation of the review.I love my two CLC's, but this translation made me laugh uncontrollably (no, my supply of medicine has not run out) and repeatedly.

| Best CDP w/ headphone jack for under $1,000 Seeing the Sony XA7ES posts for the first time makes me admit I had forgotten it qualified for your budget when bought used, and is a beautiful sounding unit exuding class and solidity, sort of the Mercedes category among CD players. In this case ... | |
| tube amps 101 Aronov Audio tube integrated LS-960I is way below your budget as used item, and maybe even when new. You will still hear the best bass slam and clarity emulating solid state, but with pleasing musicality throughout the full frequency range, and a ... | |

| Best CDP w/ headphone jack for under $1,000 I second the still amazing JVC XL-Z1050 CDP which was their classic, early effort to showcase JVC's new ideas about playing back CD's. They also went on to revolutionize the art of making a better CD.The Grado headphone line has a knack for soundi... |
