| CD Changer advice I own the CL 10 and have owned the Anthem. The 10 is a better unit - the Anthem is very noisy when changing and is not a smooth operator. The 10 is very smooth and quick - it also has various digital out options for upgrading the DAC but is good i... | |
| Vote for the best speakers in 10K range The Quad 989. Enough said. | |
| help with speaker selection! I have a pair of Sonance speakers that were designed to be mounted on the walls . They can take a lot of power and sound very balanced. Call Sound City - I have had them for a number of years. I paid about 200 a pair though they listed for twice t... | |
| Martin logan prodigies Buy the Quad 989's - no contest with the Prodigys - less money - fuller sound - goes low with just the right amoount od balance. Pus these with tubes like the EAR 534 amp or even the mcIntosh 275. Full range electrostats are the way to go. | |
| The Beatles They say everyone has about 15 minutes of fame in them. I must say they were wrong - you Maniac have none. Form a band and see how you do - it sounds as if in your own mind it will be a legacy in itself since you know what's on. | |

| Leave Levinson on? The Levinson now has a standby mode so it doesn't drain your pocket and gives you a rather quick start up for better sound sooner. It does not run as hot when you leave it on as say a Krell class A amp. Keep it in stand by and you will get the bes... | |
| Balanced (XLR) or RCA cables? Xlr's carry a quieter signal especially on long runs and sometimes its connection will have a higher gain than the RCA. It is usually not as advantages unless your whole system is connected this way, ie, music source component. It also really depe... | |
| Great Sounding New Releases Check out Johnny Lang's two CDs. There is a 98 release that is excellent and a 96 release called Lie To Me - he is a combo of Joe Cocker and the Subdudes. | |

| Levinson 333 opinions The 336 is better but the 333 is no slouch. | |
| Do I have to buy all new CDs? I use the Mcintosh C42 preamp with my Martin Logan Ascents. I also alternate a MC 352 amp and a EAR tube amp for different presentations and fun. The eq adjustments on the 42 are a godsend for different recordings and room variations. Check it out... |
