Small integrated with decent headphone outputs ?
The Sennheiser HD-600 work best (and I am pretty sure were designed to work) with a headphone amp. I had been using Grado SR 60 headphones and just recently upgraded to a HD-600/Creek OBH-11 amp combination and I find the combination quite good. I... 
Grills OFF or Grills ON ???
Cat proofing the house, especially when we are talking about audio gear, can be serious stuff. When I think of the things that I have done to protect my systems from my indoor cats ... people just don't believe me (it is now 1AM in the morning and... 
Favourite labels
I listen to a lot of Americana music and so I search out music on the Lost Highway and Sugar Hill labels. Regards, Rich 
any thoughts on cambridge azur cd 540/640?
In the January issue of What Hi Fi (British press), they reviewed the combination of the CA Azur 640C cd player and the matching 640A Azur integrated amplifier. The verdict was that the 2 CA units, along with the Monitor Audio Bronze 2 speakers, a... 
What did YOU get for Christmas?
I needed to have two major surgeries in late October and had most of my spine fused (T8 to L4). I had to give up my lowest left rib, but in the trade, I gained about 2 inches in height and I can walk without pain for the first time, since I was 17...

Songs From the Wood mfsl gold any good?
The Jethro Tull catalog was remastered, for the most part, over the last year or so. Overall, they did a pretty decent job of it. Any of Tull's first five albums (This Was; Stand Up; Benefit; Aqualung; Thick as a Brick) would be good to try. 
starting a new system with Epos ELS-3
One combination that would partner very well with the EPOS ELS-3 is: NAD C 320 BEE (integrated amp; $400 new) and the Music Hall MMF CD 25 (cd player; $ 540 new). These two components absolutely sing together and produce a musical, revelatory soun... 
Peter Gabriel....Bad sounding CD's......groan.....
I am not quite sure what your point of reference is, but ... the Peter Gabriel's catalog was extensively remastered a year or so ago and the remastered CDs were quite an improvement over the original CDs. Check out the following thread, where we d...

Can you help with this problem?
Ben:Another place to look and it is a long shot, but it has happened to me. Does the cutting out situation occur when you are either: 1. increasing the playback volume and/or 2. the frequency of the music being played is causing the speaker cables... 
Can you help with this problem?
Ben:The one channel cutting out sounds like a problem that you sometimes get when you are using a vintage amplifier or receiver in your system. The amplifier may just require a good cleaning of its contacts, volume and tone controls, input selecto... 
floorstanding speakers for NAD C-320BEE amp
Hi Tony:Last year at this time, the British Hi Fi Magazines were big fans of the NAD 320BEE and the Rotel RA-01 integrated amplifiers. The Rotel tended to get the edge, because it had a phono input. The speakers that the two amps were almost alway... 
Review: NAD C-320BEE Amplifier
Hi Mosfetti,A few months ago, I was wondering the same thing, so I A/B'd the NAD 320 BEE and the MF A3 in my living room system. My expectations going into this was that the sound should be very similar, since the only thing that would be differen...
