Upgrade sugestion please
You need to build a system, not buy components. Your room can handle a bigger speaker than a stand mount. If you buy these 2 components, they'll make your current system sound broken. You won't need to use subs either. Get them maybe as a future u... 
Is this a disgrace to the Industry ?
 "As noted above, this is not a new idea. I reviewed the "high-end" version of a laser or digital turntable -- The $19,000.00 ELP Corporation LT-2XRC Laser Turntable -- over a decade ago (see link below). Just a quick note - for those of ...

"Rip directly to the Sony Hap-Z1ES ???  Umm.... i don't see a CD drive on that thing.  I'd likely buy one if it functioned as a CD player too."If you want one with a CD player, look at the new Resolution Audio. I'm probably going to get one myself... 
Best powercables for Martin Logan 15A speakers
Use anything that's well made at a reasonable price. High end power cords won't have any impact on sound quality.  
Graphene spray and ...
"Can you write with it? But seriously Graphene is only one molecule thick by definition so however they apply it it must be done very carefully. Maybe with teeny tiny tweezers. Maybe the same way Head applies it to their tennis rackets."Its conduc... 
Problem with CD Baby cds
"A primer on CDFS, which I'd never heard of until your post. Best option would probably be to rip the files then burn them to a CD-R unless I am reading this wrong."He's right. Try that next. But make sure you tell your burning software to make a ... 
Problem with CD Baby cds
"I would like to keep the cds but obviously would like to be able to play them on my system."They're probably not CD's. Look at the music files on your computer and see what type they are. If you see files like FLAC, MP-3, APE, etc..., they wont w... 
Is this a disgrace to the Industry ?
"Now, Kappa, please.  Sit down, take a deep breath, just chill for a moment.This won't be the last 'audio heresy' we'll be subjected to.  At least it's a product that exposes the new generation to vinyl, something we love despite it's inherent fla... 
Aragon 4004 mk2, should I buy?
"I am mostly interested in the long term reliability and the current value of this amplifier, while $450 is cheap enough for an amp of this caliber is it still a reasonably good buy? "Its a well made amp and $450 isn't a bad price, I just think yo... 
Aragon 4004 mk2, should I buy?
You'll probably find the combo harsh in the high frequencies. This would be a better option. You would use 4 channels with this amp, not 2.

"I also did not like vandy's because they're slow."Mine aren't slow. If you screw up enough on the setup, you can make them sound slow. You can also make them sound fast."The best Vandy combo you can get is by purchasing 2x 2WQ subs with 1C smalle... 
How much gain is needed in a Phono Preamp for a 0.2 to 0.3mv low output moving coil?
"I like everything I read about the Benz (lowest $1800) and after reading about the Transfiguration cartridges (lowest $2450) I was very impressed. That being said, I am very concerned that with the VPI Prime I may be spending more on a cartridge ... 
ProAc Response 1SC vs Response 2: opinions
The 2's don't image quite as well, and they give up a bit of detail to the 1's, but they do extend a lot further in the bass. I've had both speakers, and unless the room is very small, I prefer the 2's. If you're willing to consider a small floor ...
