| Jazz for aficionados .Rok, I work at home, and Pandora is always on in the background. Randy's work on the cut was what got my attention to get up and see who the heck it was that was jammin' so tuff. I'm going to create a channel for her in my Pandora lineup so that ... | |

| Audio Research preamp ratings & sound differences .SP-9 Mk3...didn't like it at all.LS-10...blackest background I ever heard. This preamp was so good, I bought it twice.

| Earliest "MOST WANTED" gear .Pioneer SX1250. It was advertised as the most powerful receiver on the planet...and I wanted one. Never got one, but that was a pretty lofty dream for me. I also wanted a pair of Design Acoustics D-6 speakers...never got them either.. | |
| MW Sony HAP-Z1ES .Ctsooner, I'm willing to bet that Oppo will come out with the one-box system you are looking for. They are almost there already with their BDP 105 unit. If they add DSD, they'd be there. It seems like a natural progression for their product line.. | |
| MW Sony HAP-Z1ES .Knightfi, how long did you play the Sony in your system before you sent it in to Modwright for the mod? How much better is the mod over the stock unit? | |
