Vinyl Outselling CD
What I think is interesting about the article and the NPR story is the fact that a format that was thought to be dead is making a come back, especially with young people. When I go to Amoeba records in Hollywood CA I don't see 36 year old guys lik...

Krell KPS 28c vs SACD Standard
I demoed both, and without a question, for Redbook the Kps-28c outperformed the SACD standard on Redbook cd's. In fact for redbook the SACD standard didn't sound much different than my Linn Genki. So what did I do? I bought the KPS-28c and had it ...

Michell Orbe platter upgrade:any comments?

Conrad johnson 350 power cord
I use to have a CJ 350 and I replaced the power cord with a Shunyata Taipan Alpha. It made a huge improvement in the sound. However if you can afford it I recommend using the Shunyata Python Alpha. It will definetely take your CJ to whole new level.

CJ sound
Czbbcl,I never would have said those things about the CJ pre-amps had I not heard, and now own, the Messenger preamp. It is a whole other world than the CJ. As I said though I think CJ makes great stuff. Not the best on the market for the price bu...
