| Hi, looking for opinions on a Harmon Kardon HK3490 The sound quality is OK , when compared to other budget amps/receivers.I owned a previous incarnation of this receiver (HK 3370) and used it almost daily in a secondary system. While I used the HK, I thought the amp was pretty good, but the tuner ... | |

| The old timers give the young'ns tips on the 60s. The exciting thing about this period of music (1965-1975) was how the bands and the blues/rock/soul sound were all inter-related.

| scdc555es not reading RollingStones hybrid sacd Hi Tim. Based on when the C555es was manufactured, I doubt if the SONY is under warranty.

At the time of its release (2000), its SACD performance was rated an A+ by Stereophile. Is your concern more about owning an aging SACD player that has reported proble... | |

| New Rega R1 - Recommend an Amp? Don't go too cheap with Rega R1's. The better the amp, the better they will sound. On the flip side, don't overspend on a bedroom system. That's why I went with the Outlaw RR2150. If that is out of the question, go with the something like the NAD ... | |
