| How many vinyl albums do you own you listen to? 0. Zero. Don't need 'em - CDs sound superb on my system. I built my system for CD input only and it is wonderful. | |
| Within a 30 day trial with Van Alstine SET 400; seeking comparisons Check over on audiocircle.com. There was a review a while back from a guy (I.Greyhound Fan) who owns Pass Labs amp and I believe he compared the two. Not sure if I am allowed to post that link here. But should be easy to find. | |

| Critical subwoofer tip My subs have "infinite"-ish variable phase controls. Very glad to have this feature. | |
| Craigslist Fraud Nothing wrong with using CL. Like anything, just use it wisely. I sell and buy on CL. When I sell, I always state that the price is firm, pick up only - no shipping, and accept only cash, exact amount - no change will be given. Never an issue. | |
| Shopping for new speakers-need ideas... Selling old DQ-10's... silk dome tweeter+1Love my EgglestonWorks Fontaines - they sound like you describe. You should be able to get a used pair under your budget. I've often seen them for sale in/near Chicago. | |
| Killer Floor Standing Speakers under $4000 for Rock? I auditioned a pair of Cornwalls (III) and felt that if I listened ONLY to rock & roll I’d have purchased them or the IVs (used). They were fun. | |
