| New thread about FedEX It's nice to give credit, where credit is due. Good thread, Joe. I always use FedEx (not Ground). I've never had any problem with them. What's extra nice is when you ship COD, they get the check back to you within a few days. | |

| Power cord for ARC CD2 I owned a CD2 and used a Synergistic Research AC Master Coupler and then switched to an NBS Monitor IV power cord. Both definately helped lower the floor and darken the background. | |

| Are you an audiophile or a music lover: take 4 I refuse to stress myself out trying to imagine having to pick only one genre of music to listen to for all eternity. You're all possessed! | |
| Best Used CD Player 1500-3000 I owned the Audio Research CD2 and it was a bit finicky with CD-R's, but it is a wonderfully sweet sounding player. I now own the Meridian 508.24 and it plays all the CD-R's I've tried. The 508.24 is more forward sounding and does an excellent job... | |
