Do Transports Matter???
Redbeard, your an audiophile after my own heart. Long ago, on this site, I infuriated a few folks by suggesting that since what the speaker is moving is the air in the room, it should be fragrant to sound better. I even suggested that French perfu... 
XRCDs WOW
Towers, Amazon, JVC has a site of its own and, has mentioned above, musicdirect has a sale on a limited number of titles 5 for $100.00. Just ordered my five yesterday.

Tube myths
Newbee "Why spend your money if you don't have to". Are you kidding? The whole point of high-end audio is to filter the sound through one's pocketbook. The sound is obviously dollar dependant. Most of the time you don't even have to read between t...
