| Derek and the Dominos 50th The 2011 Deluxe Edition remaster cleaned up the sound considerably--Allman's guitar in particular sounds more seamless and less tacked-on. I've long thought the original release would have been much better if had omitted filler like "Key to the H... | |
| Need Advise On Upgrading My System i briefly owned the arcam 450--it was okay for 2 channel when unamped, but really improved when i amped the front channels with a good power amp (i believe it was the proceed amp2)--i'd try something similar before trading in your 550. | |
| Need opinions on duping CD's my own experience is that cds burned on my old philips cdr765 sounded as good or better than the orginal redbook cd and audibly better than the same disc burned using nero/roxio or the like. i've read some credible explanations as to why--jitter, ... | |
| Power amplifiers for a 3 way setup, 2 fronts 1 center =1 bdgregory--i'd think the two vincents will sound alot better than the emotiva | |
| Basic NAD Vs. Bells/Whistles Marantz Int. Amp if you're happy with the streaming from your ae it would seem redundant to get a streaming receiver like the marantz--you're paying for features you don't need. esp. since your speakers are very easy to drive, i'd think a nad or a cambridge axa35 ... | |
| Denon 100th and/or 110th Anniversary Products, any experience and feedback on them? i auditioned the 100th amp/cdp about 7-8years ago (also, coincidentally with focal speakers) at abt in chicago and remember being very impressed--lots of oomph and prat. i did think at the time that $2500/ea. was a bit dear for such generic-lookin... | |

| Suggestions for new earbuds or similar the beats powerbeats pro are well-suited for lawnmowing--because of the integrated earhooks they never fall out and are very comfortable. surprisingly sub-par isolation, but they sound pretty good and have very good battery life | |
| Used Martin Logans what wspohn said. their recent higher end models do sound much more coherent. | |
| Looking to purchase a 5.1 setup accessories4less has a $700 package deal on klipsch/denon gear which should suit your needs | |
| streamer to DAC connection i've been led to believe that optical is less prone to electrical/RF interference than coax or usb. it's also better for longer runs. however, i believe coax has more bandwidth, and makes a more secure physical connection than optical, so i usual... | |
| B&K ST-140 amplifier buying decision i believe the earlier version of the st140 had a blue/red B&K logo and the later one had a gold logo. i used to own the later (gold) version and it was a nice amp--warm and full-sounding-though slightly grainy and not the most transparent. ove... | |
| Need a DAC Recommendation. Get a chord mojo for 500 or so and spend the rest on bourbon or weed | |
| Buying used: how old is too old? jnovack, i still have my polk model 10s as well-damn things are indestructible and may still be the best speaker for drunkenly listening to 80s guitar rock at too high a volume. | |
