| Help? Stereo for art studio, under $1k Rose ...Let me save you a lot of money. Here's the bang for the bucks:1. A used Sherwood 7100 or 7100-A receiver. The 7100 is more tube like. The 7100-A more solid state. 2. A used Kyocera cd player. 3. A pair of Audioengine P4 speakers. http://w... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Anyone tried the fuses filled with bees wax? $175 per fuse. | |

| Girlfriends and wifes, how do YOU cope? Now that I've been single for many years, I seem to gain a new girlfriend from time to time. They all say the same thing upon first seeing the music system ...which at this point takes up the entire living room (of course). The say .... "Why do yo... | |
| Evening Classical Music; listening for relaxation Bach's "Air on a G-string." A beautiful piece of music if there ever was one. | |
| Jazz for late night relaxation Hmmm ... I love ballads by Cal Tjader. Paul Desmond too. | |
| Jazz for late night relaxation Hey Frogman .... have you been into my record collection??? *lol* | |
| What's a contender to an Audio Reference 5 SE? This should be an interesting thread as it develops. *lol* | |
| Thoughts on the EAT C series tables Fjn04 ...I spent quite a bit of time in the EAT room at the Newport show this year. First of all, its a given that the EAT-C Sharp is a beautiful table that you could be proud to have on display in your system. At $4500 its an overachiever in the ... |
