| can i improve my system with a better cd player? I like all types of music. I really enjoy sampler type cd's like the kksf collection and demo cds companies put out to show off their gear. | |
| can i improve my system with a better cd player? Ok my receiver is a dsp-A1 with an ext power amp, b&k 200.5 running at 4 ohms so I should be pushing 375 watts though them.

| Is it time to switch receivers? I do have a bluray via a PS3 game machine. The video portion is connected to my HDTV via HDMI and the sound is connected to my receiver via a toslink optical. I'm wondering how good is uncompressed PCM? Is it worlds apart from what i'm already hea... | |
| Is it time to switch receivers? Am I upgrading or downgrading. I don't have much disposable income nowadays with a family and kids so I only have to spend what I can sell my DSP-A1 for. So far I got a $400 offer. Would I be foolish or smart to switch it to a receiver that has HD... |
