as long as you are a human being it is hard to be objective, when giving advice. after all, what is the advice based upon ? experiences and perceptions, not usually, logic and deduction. 
What is the best redbook CD player for 6K to 8K?
trust your ears and answer the question for yourself. it's a matter of trial and error. listen to as many players as possible and buy what you like. the opinions as to what is "best" cannot be extrapolated onto another person. you have a unique se...

Synergy - how to get there
hi acoustat6:there are two parts to your comment. the first concerns creating a "sound" that pleases the owner. the second deals with synergy of components. isn't there a redundancy here ?the existence of a synergy is determined by the listener. i... 
Improvement In Sound?
you will need to answer the question for yourself. compare the two denon players. my approach is to have a dvd player for viewing and playing dvd audio discs and a separte cd player for playing redbook cds. 
Synergy - how to get there
isn't synergy the same as "i like the sound of my stereo system ?" also, what is considered a synergistic stereo system by one person may not be considered synergistic by another.thus, it would seem that synergy is connotation for asystem whose "s...

The Best Amplifier Ever ?
what is the purpose in asking a question which has no definitive answer ? each of us has a favorite component that is neither better nor worse than another person's favorite component.asking what is the best of anything does not accomplish much. b... 
Synergy - how to get there
before trying to achieve a synergy, it is important to define the term.any definitions ?is synergy essentially, a "sound" that some one likes ? 
The Best Amplifier Ever ?

Speaker Preferences?
gentlemen:i am amazed that the word "dull" would be used to describe the sound of martin logan speakers. i have never heard that term applied to a cls, which, has been charcterized as one of the most transparent speakers ever manufactured. what do...

To "tube" or not to "tube"
hi neil:what fo you think will happen if i use lower gain 12ax7, namely 5751 ??according to mcintosh, changing tubes will not change the sound of the amp very much. a dealer told me that the 6550 gives a more romantic sound than the kt88. in any c...
