The best sub $1000 cd player
I use an Anthem CD-1 which I bought used for well under $1,000 in my office system, absolutely LOVE how it sounds! It's a six disc changer, which I kind of like. If you can, I would suggest you listen to one. 
Velodyne or REL or Vandersteen?
I bought the Velodyne FRS15 myself because I just thought it sounded best all around. I have had it in my system for a while, and I guess I have noticed two things:First, the Velodyne responds to IR remote control signals not meant for it by produ... 
Headphone amp for Sennheiser HD600
I have a set of HD600 connected to a Headroom Max amp. It is a bit expensive, but it sounds fantastic to me. I use an Anthem CD1 as the source for this setup, it is what I listen to in the office.

I am using a Mark Levinson 335 with the mahlers, in a 8'(H) X 14' (W) X 20'(L) room, with good results. Plenty of power, amp seems to mate well with the speakers.Niels.

Mark levinson audio system in Lexus?
I have since had a ride in one, and I must say that for car audio it is not bad at all! I was pleasantly surprised by the low level of road noise that was evident in the car, and the sound system really did sound very decent.Of course, it is still... 
Harmon Kardon + TV = no sound after 5min
I have seen a similar problem, it went away when I put an isolation transformer (Available from Radio Shack) between the Cable TV Antenna connection and the TV; apperantly a groudloop issue in my case. 
Fly in the SACD Ointment?
CW, you are on to something here. Take Carole King's Tapestry as an example. Her voice was not recorded too well to begin with. On the album and CD that was audible. On the SACD, well, it becomes sort of the new characteristic of the record I wish...

At 3AM this morning it retailed for about $210K, what with the Avalon Osiris, tri-amped with Mark Levinson 33H mono's and that ML32 pre driven by the dual Accuphase combo, with colid gold cables everywhere......and then my wife woke me up, she was...
