| Best digital stream player The 8250, the NAIM better come with an excellent DAC. It should also clean your house, wash your car and cook your dinner. It is a hard drive with some software that will be yesterday's news is 2 years. | |
| how to side-grade from B&W 805's? Maybe SALK or Triangles? Paradigm studios would also be worth listening to. | |

| "Warmer" Speaker - $600-1000 Range Also, ACI is shutting down. Their monitors were a great value. Go to their website and see what they have left in inventory.http://www.audioc.com/ | |
| "Warmer" Speaker - $600-1000 Range Paradigm reference studio 10s might be worth listening to. Have a paid in my office. They are biwireable.Triangle's bookshelf speakers might be interesting as well. Stereophile has had a review of several of late that also might fit the bill. | |

| What are the Best FM tuners? Sam Tellig in Stereophile raved re the sub $100 Sony. | |
| Review: Sony SCD-XA5400ES CD Player I was thinking of upgrading to a Raysonic to serve as the most recent last cdp I will ever buy but after reading this, I will give this a try. How long a delay is there between inserting the disc and hearing music? | |
| Subwoofer Suggestion I have the Paradigm 12. ABout 1700USD. Don't know the range. They are excellent. | |
| Need Recommendation on Best CD player under $1,000 The new top of the line NAD is outstanding for the money (about 600 new) as is the REGA Apollo for about 850. | |
