| Phono stage matching - how critical Your using the proper type of phono stage for your cartridge so your good.Now whether your system would sound better using a Soundsmith Zephr, well only your ears could tell that. You would have to try it and tell us which you prefer. | |

| How good are recievers these days? I think it is the only way to get the lossless sound off a blu-ray digitally. Also, no SACD players output their signal digitally except on HDMI.The future is DSP. Roomperfect, Dirac, just the beginning of the future.Sorry sport, initial Blu-ray p... |
