Which CD failed you on bass notes?
This is an excellent topic. Glad you brought it up. I don't have Fourplay's "Yes, please" but do have "Between the Sheets" and "Heartfelt". Most of the cuts produce excellent bass extension and super mid-range. I'll see if I can get hold of "Yes, ...

it all sounds good, but.....
I think many members of this forum would agree that the question of whether LP's sound better or more "real" than digital sources of reproduced music is soley a personal preference and choice. Some "philes" absolutely prefer to listen to only viny... 
Digital vs Analog output on CD players
Zar,I know exactly how you feel. Hey I've had things connected wrong, speakers not balanced via dB's, inferior cables, speakers not located optimally in the room, wrong settings on my A-V receiver, etc for many months. You think you're doing it ri... 
What is the one CD you can't find?
This is not even available on CD but if anyone out there has Horace Silver's "Spiritualizing the Senses" on Silveto Records either in LP or Cassette format, please shoot me a message. This goes back to circa 1983. When I sold my entire LP collecti... 
Why does CD suffer on most universal &dvd players?
Chapter 8 in Robert Harley's "Complete Guide to High-End Audio" goes in to this in depth. The entire chapter is dedicated to digital source components. He does explain why it is best to go with a separate dedicated CD player vs universal units unl... 
Looking to upgrade
Since you already are familiar with Marantz, you may want to consider one of their new A-V Receivers. They are affordable and are jam packed with features and power. I have the SR5600 which is about 1 year old now driving a 5.1 channel system with... 
Most Effective Tweaks
Vibrapods for CD players (I have two CD players) and PS Audio Power Ports to replace your cheap in wall electrical outlets. Be sure to purchase the correct Vibrapod model for your source components. It goes by weight of the unit. Both tweaks have ... 
How to connect audio system to AC outlets?
As an inexpensive option, try replacing your electrical receptacles with PS Audio Power Ports. I've installed two for my system (one for A-V receiver/CD player and the other for the SubW). They sell for $50.00 each and they clearly do make a diffe... 
Best short-lived band?
What about The Band breaking up in 1976. Way too early for us die hard fans. Hell, Levon Helm is still performing in his 60's with his Midnight Ramblers !!

Sorry don't know about those. Just finished speakers. Sorry.

Do you mean a brand of finished loudspeakers or just the drivers?

Cwaigy:Try www.partsexpress.com. You'll be able to purchase a wide variety of drivers, enclosures, and crossovers here. As far as this being a good idea or not, I would go in to this knowing it's a risk and that the speakers may not turn out to be...

I've never auditioned Klipsch loudspeakers but much of what I've read and heard is that they are certainly in the "mid-fi" to "hi-end" category depending on the particular product line. I read over the specs and you have a number of things in your...

Yes I completely agree with Regalma1 about Ebay. Unless there are lots of the same item, chances of winning the bid are slim. I've been there and unless I'm desparate, I will no longer bid on Ebay. It's not worth the aggravation. I'd rather buy th...
