| Help Should I make this move? Don't do it. Spend the money on a gift for your wife. It's a far better long-term investment. | |
| Santana On "Santana 3" the guitar work is fairly evenly split with Carlos usually soloing first. Along with "Welcome", "3" is my favorite Santana album. My favorite solo is from "Yours Is the Light" on "Welcome".I'm glad people are commenting about Santan... | |
| Equalizers anyone? The Rives is a very different product from the Accuphase which in turn is very different than the Cello. Each is a good product, but they are optimized to accomplish different tasks. You'd get better responses if you stated what type of room defic... | |
| Equalizers anyone? If used properly a parametric EQ can be very effective at smoothing out bass response. They'll work best with those speakers/rooms that need it least. | |
| Ray Charles, which collection go get? Try the Rhino box set "Blues+Jazz". It highlights his piano playing. | |
| Ic for bass problems In the long run it's not very effective to use interconnects as tone controls. I agree with Prpixel, it's probably a speaker/listener placement issue. Alternatively, it could be an equipment isolation problem. | |

| iPOD How many cds does it really Hold ?any Tips?? I use the iPod exclusively in the car where stereo information is of little importance. Storing the files in any mono format will double an iPod's capacity. | |

| iPOD How many cds does it really Hold ?any Tips?? As stated above, it depends. If you store music uncompressed you can store about 70 albums. If you use Apple's loseless compression, then double that to 140 albums. The various AAC or MP3 formats can store even more. | |
| Digital Amps - Your opinions and why so few? Digital amps will dominate the mid fi market and will make significant inroads in the audiophile area. It's simply a different way to design an amplifier and it has some advantages as well as disadvantages when compared to alternative designs. I s... | |
| "only one shot" If I were you I'd dump the SP9 and get the Audio Research integrated amp (the current version or the original CA50). You can then match it with any number of stand alone phono preamps and get better sound than what you're contemplating. Then again... | |
| amplification match with MartinLogan Ascent i ESLs Martin-Logans will work well with either tubes or solid state with the only requirement that you give them sufficient power. The comments about them only coming to life with tubes is widespread, but it's more a matter of personal taste rather than... | |
| system opinions? I wouldn't even think of changing components until you thoroughly experiment with acoustic room treatments. Be patient and give the system/room a chance to show what they can do. | |
| Radio Station CD Players? What kinds? I'm no expert on current radio station tech, but I don't think the majority of commercial stations use CD players. Computerized hard disk systems with proprietary software are the norm. |
