| Listening distance I would think that different speakers would make for different positioning. Due to the constraints of my living room, my speakers are along the long wall about 7'10" (center to center) apart and I sit a about 7' back and I get excellent sound. Eve... | |
| Need advice on CD-Player With all the advances made in CD playback, things have come to a head allowing you to spend less than your target price and still get excellent results.Case in point: I took my TEAC PD-H600 over to a local audiophile who sells out of his home. His... | |
| Is it possible to get Hi-end sound ?? Ignorance is bliss. Stay away from sites like this and just cut out pictures from the mags. Tape it to the wall above what you presently have and use your imagination. When you get tired of looking at it, go back to the mags and find something els... | |

| Middle Eastern, North African music these days? Another gem is 'Emociones' by the 25 Years Network. It is a 3 disc set that spans most of Africa, a little of So. America and some of South/Eastern. Europe, but mostly Africa.Wonderfully recorded despite the age.Spans a lot of genres. | |
| Creek evo cdp with burson opamp mod? If you go to Burson's site there are many users of the opamps who post their results along with photos and commentary. Kind of like how-to lessons. | |

| Metal, aluminum, or wood for a rack ? Z:Nice rack. I wish I took woodshop in high school. I got stuck with two semesters of printshop due to scheduling problems. Maybe in my golden years I'll take it up. | |
| Cables for interconnect and speakers? I'm not that well versed when it comes to cables but I went from an all Supra cabling, except for the PC to all Zu Mission cabling when they had the sale before the end of last year. The level of improvement was better than I had thought it would ... | |
