300 disk W/ outboard DAC or single play W good dac
I have another option. Buy the AMC CD8B from AudioAdvisor for $199. They have a fantastic return policy, so if it doesn't meet your needs, send it back within 30 days for a full refund. I read the reviews on AudioReview, and it seems like a good c... 
300 disk W/ outboard DAC or single play W good dac
If it were my money, I would spend an extra $25 and get the Cambridge Audio D-500SE listed in the classified section of this site. The buyer is "asking" $300. Of course, being an "audio cheapskate", I would offer $300, shipping included!TIC

More proof that you shouldn't start something you can't finish!! I'm appauld that it ended in a beating death, but let's face it, if he never "flew the bird", he wouldn't be in the hospital. 
My quest: an integrated with great imaging. Help
When someone mentions WAF, I automatically think that your speaker positioning isn't optimal. I have a couple of friends with great components that have systems that sound mediocre. The soundstage especially suffers from the speaker placement in t... 
Have you ever sniffed your AC ???
I've been curious about the Monster HTS2000/2500. Good to hear they work as advertised. Also good to hear about the AP Quiet Lines. I think I'll give 'em a try.TIC

sonic frontiers anthem 2
The Anthem Integrated 2 is a pretty good unit, but $1700 is a lot of money and there are many different quality integrated amps at or below that price. Also, because it is a hybrid, it may need a bit of tweaking/tube rolling to get the best perfor... 
sonic frontiers anthem 2
Is it the Anthem Integrated 2, which is a hybrid integrated amp, or is it an Anthem Amp. 2 which I would guess is a tube power amp? If it is an Anthem Integrated 2, I have owned one and it was a decent product, but not exceptional. I bought mine n...

The Adcom GTP-750's mentioned above that are selling on Ubid are refurbished units. Also, currently there is a $489 bid on one and that does not meet the reserve price. Considering you would have to pay more than $500 for a refurb. unit from Ubid,... 
Monarchy SM-70 to Model 33 interconnect question
Thanks for the responses. I agree that CC Poon knows his stuff, but I do sometimes find his replies confusing. As a small company, he seems to "do it all" including design, sales and marketing. He modifies his products often, and it's sometimes di...

Sean, Thanks for the correction. I didn't do my homework before I posted!! Anyway, my point is still the same, you can't judge a product based on your experience with a different product from that manufacturer.TIC

What does that have to do with the Baby Boomer? Pinnacle makes a WIDE variety of speakers with a huge price range. The Baby Boomer is a quality unit. It is structurally and esthetically superior to the HSU I mentioned before. Your experience with ... 
Any opinions about Pinnacle Baby Boomer Sub?
I've had one for about 1.5 years and I really like it. It is really small and easily integrates with my Triangle Titus xs Monitors. The build quality is much better than the HSU VTF-2 that I also owned, but it doesn't go quite as low. Ultimately, ...
