| Lector CDP 7 Mk I, II or III ? hi fafafion:who carries this product ? is there a us importer ?the virtue of the lector is its very romantic and forgiving character. i would describe it as a euphonic presentation.most 24 bit players are not forgiving of problem recordings. the 2... | |
| First SACD to Listen To? since recording quality varies, it is possible that a purchase of say, 50 sacd discs will reveal a variation in sound quality that a sample of one will not provide.i advise borrowing as many sacd discs as you can and not buying any, until you are ... | |

| Life As I knew in My Audio World Has Ended, Help a doctor friend didn't listen to his stereo system for 6 months. he survived and extolled the positive consequences of his situation.if you really miss music that much, turn on your radio.i think some of us are too dependent upon our audio systems... | |

| Single driver speakers - opinions although i am partial to panel speakers, i can't see how one can generalize and say one design is categorically better than other.it comes down to preference. i find many panel speakers properly set up have smaller deviations in frequency response... | |
| How can we settle for digital? there was a cd player, vintage 1994, that i auditioned in an all naim system. the naim cd player was the cd x. i remember being startled at the sound coming out of a pair of naim speakers. what i heard seemed to surpass most vinyl set ups.the prob... | |
| the process is more challenging than the result hi mr_ man:you have made my point. the purpose of voicing a stereo system to one's satisfaction is the enjoyment of the process of doing it, rather than listening to the result.although i am not a hunter, the hunt may be more enjoyable than the ea... | |

| Best Digital Source That Money Can Buy? hi dave:you have not specified what "improve" means. instead of invective, why not facilitate communication by defining "improvement". | |
