| msb Ilink vs. wadia 170i ipd docks The Benchmark is not a great DAC? Wow, that's an elevated playing you're playing on!!-RW- | |
| WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THE MEMORY PLAYER ? I thought it sounded good, but certainly not worth the money. IMHO, of course...I was also disappointed that it could not handle DTS-encoded discs.-RW- | |
| STANDBY on tube amps - what's your practice I leave mine on throughout the day, and turn it off when going to bed. I think most engineers will tell you that the most "wear and tear" on tubes occurs at power-on.I'm rather fortunate because I have a Butler amp - they have an automatic slow st... | |
| Amp newbie needs help Here's a guy on the EmotivaLounge site with an XPA-3 for $400 + $25 shipping - that is a smokin' deal. And I know the seller to be an honest person:http://emotivalounge.proboards54.com/index.cgi?board=emporium&action=display&thread=3266-RW- | |
| Amp newbie needs help Yep, I second the Emotiva recommendation. The XPA-5 would be ideal, but they're out of stock currently. You may still be able to order it, call them on the phone. Barrring that, and XPA-3 + a UPA-2 would also be a killer combo and within your budg... | |
| the dead on tour again. ---two questions: Dodge, based upon the fact that they will probably sell out every one of those venues within several hours of the tickets being available, I'd say PLENTY of folks care.Don't be a dick...-RW- | |
| What do your think of the following... The Emotiva products are a solid buy and the company provides exceptional after-sale support. What do you mean by +ve and -ve?-RW- | |
| OK to remove Tweeter Grill?? If my speakers were still under warranty there is NO way I would follow their dumbass advice. If removing that little plastic thingy really improved the sound, don't you think the factory would have done that by now?-RW- | |

| Denon3910 Exemplar 2008 same as 2006? Alex, the APL man, needs to work on improving his customer relations. He has moved to Bulgaria and has not returned calls, emails, etc. for many months now....-RW- | |
| cartridges to enjoy without worries Also look at SoundSmith's B&O MMC1 clone - these are superb-sounding carts...Ask SoundSmith, they'll tell you great that cart is. And here is a Stereophile review:http://www.stereophile.com/phonocartridges/408sound/-RW- | |
| CD's in DVD players a compromise? Hey, I'm quite happy with my Oppo DV-983 - it plays every shiny disc format except BluRay and HD-DVD. And it's priced about 80-90% less than all the previously mentioned units. If you're on a budget, this is the unit to buy.Or, if you'd like to ha... |
