I'm using a Melody tube amp and Zu s... | |

| Best Neil Young Album? Just got Live at Massey Hall; it is a great cd! Excellent sonics! Saw him a couple of times back in the 70's when he did solo acoustic sets, and this hdcd is a remarkable recording from those times. | |
| Best "RedBook" player out there My Naim cd5x continues to impress and wow me with organic and natural sound and retails for $2995.Many others like Resolution Audio Opus 21 & the Electrocompaniet unit, both are under $3k used. | |
