Good Stuff Cheap
I'll have to second the Classe' 70. For the used price you can't find another that is close.Also, DIY inter-connects. I order whatever I feel like trying from Parts Connection and solder away. Usually, after they burn in they sound fine. Presently... 
Bringing back the dead?
I had an Ampzilla. It had great slam but was unreliable. It was the first real amp I owned. The pre-amp, though, is dated and I don't ever wish to have it back in my syatem. But it was much more reliable and it is still operating today in a friend... 
Top Ten Interconnects of all time...
My home brew-silver-copper-teflon-wbt(knock off)-braided design. I can make a great pair of interconnects for $30 that will please me as much as $500(+). Those that pay more for name brands (in many cases) are paying much more than they need to. 
Class B int.=Class B Pre/Pro???
Forget about what they rate it. Let your ears judge. I have found that there can be a big difference within all catagories, needless to say outside the catagories. 
Do you play?
Yes, 30 years of guitar. My experiences with music is what drives my frame of reference for play back. A better question is not, "why aren't more musician audiophiles", but rather, "why aren't more audiophiles musicians?" When this last question i... 
classe audio questions
I had a Claae' amp, which I damaged, because it took longer for them to repair it they did it for free. It saved me $400.00. Albiet, it cost me $100.oo in phone calls. Anyway, make sure you send it UPS, or else it will get lost in customs for mont... 
How would you rate your listening room?
I have temporarily moved into a new home in order that my wife finish school. She decided that a career change was necessary and so we moved. Having said that, my room sucks! I am unwilling to part with my Maggies. In another year we will be in a ... 
Adcom 565 pre-amp fit here?
I have owned the 565 and used it with satisfactory results. The line stage in the bypass mode is by far the better options. The line stage is good, but what made this a great value was the phono stage. However, this appears to be a non-issue with ... 
CD Player Woes
Revdog, glad to hear your problem is resolved. I believe it to be an extremely abnormal failure rate. In 1989, I purchased a Magnavox CDB650. I used it as a player, then as a transport. I no longer use it, due to upgrade, however after 11 years of... 
Best Reagae CD ?
Try Peter Tosh, "Equal Rights". I have the vinyl and it is a great recording with excellent songs. I'm sure that if care was made in the transfer the CD could sound fantastic. This is one of the best Reagae CD's ever made!

That should read, "With many of the brand names jumping manufacturing plants...." 
CDR media part II
It is amazing. When you click into your favorite brand, say, TDK, you find that they have been made by 4-5 differant manufacturers. Some of these manufactures have been rated high and some have been rated low. What I have learned from this is that...
