| D&D 's I own 3 CD versions of Layla ... the Layla 3 CD set from 1990, the SACD version, and the 40 year anniversary version. They are all passible sounding, no more no less. The SACD is the best sounding of the 3, but that does not distinguish it as spec... | |
| Inexpensive way to play records It was a cheap piece of crap and damaging to records 30 years ago. Nothing would have changed today. Pick-up a cheap BSR record player with a ceramic cartridge, if money is that tight.Rich | |
| One artist, band, you keep coming back to Marshall Crenshaw'Field Day' if you can find it. 'Good Evening' or his self titled are good places to start, as wellRich | |
| Ayon Orion 2 or Prima Luna Dialogue Premium Int.? The $700 difference in price is most likely attributed to the country of assembly or manufacture. But there is no sense getting into a made in China/ made elsewhere discussion given that the PCs we are using to answer your thread are all made in C... | |

| Ayon Orion 2 or Prima Luna Dialogue Premium Int.? I don't have an axe to grind here. I am a very satisfied PL owner and was curious about the issue comment, as it was not something that I had seen mentioned in print. So, when I do a search for 'Prima Luna' in the archives, for the first 150 resul... | |
| Ayon Orion 2 or Prima Luna Dialogue Premium Int.? Hi Zd542, Curious ... what reliability issues are there with Prima Luna? I have owned Prima Luna Prologue 2 & 5 since 2005 with 0, and I mean 0 issues. I wish I could say that for other brands that I have owned in the last 8 years that just pl... | |

| Which adcom sounds best? My gift to myself when I got divorced in 1990 was a system that consisted of an Adcom 545 amp, Adcom GTP 500 II preamp/ tuner, KEF Q55 speakers, and a Magnavox CD630 cd player. These Adcom products were the second generation of their components, w... | |

| Rega Apollo - DAC / Player to beat it I feel that way about my 6 year old Rega Apollo, a $1000 product (paid $1000). I also feel that way about my 9 year old Musical Fidelity CD PRE 24, a preamp/ cd player that was a $3000 product (paid $1400 when discontinued). Both really sweet CD p... | |
| Is built in phono preamp usually best way to go? There was a time when all preamps, receivers, and integrated amps had built in phono sections and these conversations just didn't occur. You already pulled the trigger and purchased the Acoustech. I would suggest letting your ears decide. | |
| Need Amp advise for Totem MITE I just like this amp at $200 or so ... Emotiva mini-X a-100 . As long as you stick to a single source, you get a 50 wpc power amp with a volume control. Rich | |
| Need Amp advise for Totem MITE Placement is key with the Mites.I used the Mites with tubes (Prima Luna) and solid state (Outlaw) and they sounded fine. The placement was compromised and I never got all I could out of them. I used QED Silver Anniversary for speaker cables, Audio... |
