| Room treatment success story Inpieces, Closing your eyes helps you to concentrate on the sound without visual distractions. Eventually you will learn to concentrate as well with your eyes opened. This is also why many audiophiles like listening in the dark. | |
| Who is using passive preamps and why? Herman, What would you rather have? A system that hardly plays above a whisper at full volume or a system that plays loud at 9 o'clock? To say the requirements for passive and active are equal can be misleading to the unsuspecting Audiogon member ... | |

| Another speaker placement question. HELP Your speaker is too big for your listening area. | |
| Rega Saturn or Sony SCD-XA5400ES ? Is the Sony SCD-XA5400ES really an over-achiever? Has anyone compared it to much more expensive CD playback? | |
