Who was the best jazz guitarist ever?
My favorite is Joe Pass. 
what speakers to buy??
Strange question. 
How old is too old?
Without passion and purpose, there is no point in living. Keep it going... 
Have you treated your listening space?
Edge22, I am currently renting a house for the next 6 months, but when I buy one, I am going to take your advice. Thanks! 
Luxman C-1000F vs. Sim Audio Evolution 850P
If the Luxman has Nasa grade parts, then I'm sure it's worth 8 grand more, right? 
Have you treated your listening space?
Buconero,I don't disagree with you at all when you say that there are many well heeled audiophiles who would not spend the money even though they can afford to. I am just saying that audiophiles of all financial means feel intimidated about how to... 
Have you treated your listening space?
Ok, I have been offline for a while, because I was moving from New Jersey to Arizona. I just got my internet hooked up today, and of course the first place I wanted to go was here. I think that I can give you an answer, at least from my point of v...

Audiofeil,You beat me to it. 
accuphase compare to mcintosh
Audiozen,You really sound like you are desperate to prove that Accuphase is better than McIntosh, but the reasons that you come up with are absurd. Three cooling fans in a player proves bad engineering? If you are qualified to second guess their d... 
accuphase compare to mcintosh
Audiozen,I respect Accuphase gear, and based on all that I have read, I would love to try one of their Class A amps. Nevertheless, I think that it has been proven in the past that jewel-like build quality is not a guarantee of "superior" sonics. B... 
Amp more important than speakers?
I think it is very true that the potential of very good speakers can only be realized with very good (not necessarily very expensive} amplification and sources, but the OP almost makes it sound like Harbeth HL5s are mid-fi speakers. They are actua... 
Best Solder??
Jeff at Sonic Craft (who knows a lot about this stuff) advised me to use Cardas Eutectic solder. He gave me reasons why it was better than the Mundorf and others, but I can't remember what they were. I think it had something to do with the amount ...
