Budget, Seperates, 1,200 AMP & PRE, suggestions
I would seriusly look at Rotel, as they make decent stuff at good prices as well as it is on Audiogon a lot. I have a RSP 985 processor that is great. Consdier it and a 5 channel amp. 
Good, mid-price tuner?
The Nakamichi ST7 is a good tuner and underrated. Consider it at only $250 on the market. 
Alesis Masterlink as a CD Player?
I hope these thrads are not correct. I bought a new Alesis ML 9600 last year and have not used it yet. I was waiting to do some CD recording with a Mark Levinson 37 and 360S Dac. I would like to hear other input. Anyone had problems with theirs. I... 
Shunyata black mamba power cords
I use the Black Mamba V2 in my Mark Levinson 360S Dac and the 380S preamp. The BMs are very good power cables for digital and preamps. Highly reccomended. 
B&W Matrix bass filter question
I have a pair of B&W 801 Matrix S2 and I use 2 Krell B&W filters in balanced mode with Transparent Ultra XL XLR cables to a Mark Levinson 336 amp. Speaker cable is Acoustic Zen Ref II biwire. The speakers are on Sound Anchor stands. The so... 
New vs Used when buying please share thoughts
I have been building a high-end system from money saved while in the Mid East for the Iraq war. Around 90 % has come off Audiogon--and I would say I built about a 35-50K system for a bit over 20K. Buying used is the only way to go if you cannot af... 
Please give me your 2 cents...budget 30-50k
Go with Mark Levinson!!!! Runco, Lexicon, Lin, B&W, or Wilson. Go used on most...I did and I have assembled a system that would have cost well over 100K and I spend around 35K. Mark Levinson is on here all the time and good deals. If you are g... 
When is Wish You Were Here going to be SACD
I own the Pink FLoyd Dark Side of the Moon and love it! The sound is great! If more people buy SACDs the label will be willing to release more pop and rock SACDs. IMHO the only way SACD and DVDA is going to survive is the release of "Classic Rock"... 
Replaced caps and what a difference
I just bought a Cary SLP 98 and it has the stock caps. Should I upgrade them to the Hovland Musiccaps? How much improvement would they make? I am using the preamp with Rocket 88 power amp. 
Do You Remember Your First CD Player?
I still have mine. It is a Nakamichi OMS-7. It was a great CD player in the late 80s and still plays but skips on some CDs. It is in its orig. box in storage and I have seen what used price I can get for it; a measly $150 when I pair $1298 for it ... 
Levinson 332 amp with the B&W Signature 800?
I am thinking of upgrading from the B&W Matrix 801s to the B&W Nautlis or Sig 800s. I have a Mark Levinson 380S preamp and 336 power amp and use Acoustiz Zen Matix Ref II cables as well as Transparent Ultra XL and AZ Hologram II Biwire spe... 
Any input on B&W 800 series speakers repairs
I live in England and Worthington is just up the road from me. I contacted them about repairs to any of the B&W speakers in the 800 matrix series, and they said "if your driver(s) go out, there are NO replacement drivers!" I even asked about a... 
Calling all Proceed AVP 2 owners..please advise
Can someone out there provide all of us Proceed owners the scoop on Harmon fixing Proceed products, and the now classic series of Mark Levinson components? There is a lot of both on Audiogon and the goners need advice. If you know of the situation...

levinson 30.5+31.5 how good?
I would not consider ML components until the new series comes out as the price for the "classics" ie. 360, 380, 37, 31`.5, 30.5, drop.
