| Where to buy CD's http://www.importcds.com/ is a good source and usually less expensive than Amazon. I've ordered many CD's from them without any problems. | |
| Favorite CD treatments? I use Kleenmaster Brillianize to clean CD's. Just spray on and wipe off with a microfiber cloth. Leaves no residue and sounds better. Much less expensive than audiophile cleaners/treatments. Most hardware stores carry it. | |
| French Astree label I haven't heard any Astree vinyl, which I bet sounds fantastic, but don't overlook their titles in CD when vinyl is not available. I've collected a number of their CD's over the years. Musically and sonically they are amongst the best in my music ... | |

| Best tube integrated? anyone know? Line Magnetic has both KT88 and EL34 based integrated amps in the under $2000 category. No formal reviews, but I've heard excellent reports about them both. | |
| Need speaker for a small space and close to wall If you're considering Audio Note, the smaller AN/K speakers would be best suited for a small room. Speaking from experience, both the AN/J and AN/E speakers will overload a small room with too much bass. | |
| Review: Audio Note UK P-2 SE Tube amp Glad you are enjoying the P2 SE amp. I think the improvements you noted over the time you have been using the amp are probably due to the fact that the amp you purchased had not been used for a very long time and a burn-in was necessary to bring i... | |

| Hybrid Integrated Amps: Any Good? I bought a Unison Research Unico hybrid integrated amp when they first came out and had it for a couple of years. A very nice sounding amp. The hybrid design concept can work very well if implemented properly. | |
