| Epos M 12, Quad 11L or Von Schweikert VR - 1 I owned the Epos M12's for a year and would completely disagree about them being sterile. They are very neutral, musical, have GREAT bass for a monitor, and are full of PRAT and detail. I compared them to Green Mountain Europa's, which many consid... | |
| Jolida 100 or Music Hall CD25 I have owned the stock MH25 and now own a RAM/Dan Wright modded MH25 with the tube output stage.The stock player was very good, the modded one is great. I have not heard the Jolida, would very much like too though.FWIW, Response Audio sells both t... | |
| Anyone use Stereo trading outlet cables? FOR RCA's, you might want to give a look at NEAR SOTA cables. I DIY'd a pair of IC's using Eichmann Plugs and have been impressed with the sound. From my understanding, it is a "better" clone of the OTA labs cable. Relatively cheap too. Larry sell... | |

So now some of my favorite music in fact doesn't sound as good even thoug... | |

| Small integrated with decent headphone outputs ? The Creek 5350SE has a headphone output that is decent. However, I had Grado phones, not Senn's. Don't Senn's work best with a headphone amp? I would also look for a integrated that has tape loops so you could explore the headphone amp/integrated ... | |
| Static caused problem in Music Hall CD25/Jolida I have experienced static issues with the Music Hall but nothing that lasted. Many times the same would happen to me, static buildup during the dry winter season, touching the cd player and zap! I also had to turn off/on to get rid of it. I don't ... |
