Does anyone have an opinion on the Nakamichi CD4?
It's too narrow! 
You got $10000, build a system.
I think that's a good start, but what do I do with the amp sitting there without any other equipment??? 
Dark Side of the Moon 30th Anniv Album
I have the LP and the SACD and neither of the mention Alan Parsons being involved. I have not listened to the LP yet, but SACD has some interesting things on it. I have heard things I did not notice before, but that doesn't mean it is better.I did... 
Wher can I find good info on set up of cartridge?
If you are interested in adding a couple of good reference works to your library there are a few good books available. Laura Dearborn's book "Good Sound" has a chapter on the subject as does Robert Harley's "Complete Guide to Hi-end Audio."Both bo... 
Best Turntable for Massive Solid Stand
Without suggesting a particular tt I would suggest you take a serious look at something unsuspended. It sounds like you have a good solid stand and should be able to use something without the complication of suspension. It doesn't make sense to pa... 
No Dustcover for Turntable, What do You do?
Rosstaman is on to something, but if you have any woodworking skills you can make the same thing for less. Plex is very easy to work with and can be bonded with meythl ethyl keytone (MEK) which I've seen at Home Depot. A sharp saw blade is a must ... 
Who are the Jazz Cats on Audiogon?
I have bought more Jazz in the last several years than ever before. With the improvement of the sound of my system I find myself appreciating more different music, Jazz being the biggest volume increase.I just got a Paco Pastorius LP today that I'... 
Green-'ening' CD's
I would not disagree with Seans conclusion, but I have to say my experience was different. I have found anywhere from a big improvement to no difference at all. I have never experienced a decrease in sound quality. Different results do not mean an... 
Full range box floorstanding recommend $3-5K range
Disclaimer: I'm not very smart!I hope that's a joke! If you want a speaker that really outperforms it's cost check out a pair of Sony SS M9. They are an American designed and made speaker. I know most people are not interested when they see the na... 
Why the limit on warranty to subsequent purchasor?
Sean, I don't disagree with anything you said. I don't know what kind of product you carry/sell but I know from my own experience that HiFi gear is somewhat fragile. Having a costomer drop a lawn mower off their trailer is a lot less serious than ... 
Yet another SACD question
You will have no problem listening to 5.1 with a two channel SACD player. I have done it several times with many different discs. 
Why the limit on warranty to subsequent purchasor?
It is patently absurd to suggest that the manufacturers are being greedy by not transfering a warranty!What responsibility does a company have to an individual with whom they have no relationship???If I sell a piece of gear to another AudiogoNer w... 
Why the limit on warranty to subsequent purchasor?
The consumer who pays nearly retail, if not full retail is the only one who makes any money for the company. The manufacturer is not responsible to the second or third buyer since thay obviously have no relationship.Companies who go above and beyo... 
Can I get "Great" used speakers for $1800??
I just bought a pair of Sony SS M9's and continued to be amazed by how good they sound. I bought them to tide me over till I had the money for a pair of Watt/Puppies or Soundlabs, but I'm not sure anymore if I need to change speakers again. I only... 
Speaker rating question..
That's a tough one to answer. When people post the condition of an amp, they don't report on the condition of its feet. It occurs to me that it would be virtually impossible to set up a pair of speakers without at least a little scuffing taking pl...
