| Best tubes for Shanling CD300/3000 ? I believe they now come with EH tubes, | |
| high end USB cables - A to A connectors No differences that I've heard. Go to monoprice and spend $8. | |
| Advice on sub-$500.00 cd player. The highest end NAD can be purchased for about that and is a great product. Excellent quality. I think it would blow away the Rotel. I've never liked thbe Camb Audio products' sound. Music Hall sells one for 600 usd but I would think you'd like th... | |
| iTunes Home Sharing In iTunes Go to PREFERENCES and then STORE and make sure you've checked the button that asks if you want to down load album artwork. If that doesn't work, call the Apple helpline. They are very knowledgeable. | |
| What is the most analog sounding CD player under $ The Rega is wonderful. I'm not sure I'd call it "analog" sounding. Very realistic and detailed. If you want to warm it up, there are good tubed models out there such as the Raysonic 128 or the Shanling 3000. | |
| Audiophiles make terrific Enophiles Nothing goes with a nice tubed amp and a high sensitivity speaker than a bottle of 1990 Chambolle Musigny or a Clos Voug. | |

| Triangle sound-signature category. Which brands? To my ears, the Totems sounded quite different. A bit more color and I think a bit less accurate. Not good or bad per se -- just more different than S-F or Focal. | |
| Does your system do things better in the dark? Enhanced focus on the music is likely 99% of it. In terms of the quality of the AC power, I wonder if people notice poorer sound in the middle of a heat wave when power demand is higher (assuming no brown out)? | |
| Triangle sound-signature category. Which brands? I've got a paid of the Celius. I would note that it and the others I've heard are quite revealing and balanced. Good recordings sound glorious and poor ones are often a lot less so. They also take a long time to break in. I would also suggest they... | |
