| Best pair of $ 1500 speakers to match with Rotel? For $1,500 used you can get a pair of Merlin TSM-MM's and have speakers that will last you through another couple rounds of source and amp upgrades. The Rotel pieces may not be the ultimate electronics but they're damn good for the money and putti... | |

| Suggestions for lower priced pre/amp The difference between NAD and Rotel is going to come down to personal preference and your choice of speakers is going to have a considerably more significant effect on the sound than your choice between either of those brands.I've owned a couple ... | |
| Suggestions for lower priced pre/amp A used Rotel 1060, 1062 or RA-02 would give you great sound within your budget and the outputs for two pair of speakers. | |
| My Sister wants an i-pod So help me out with a metaphor here, you can probably come up with a better one than this. "People who complain because an iPod can't possibly compete with their megabucks home rig would also complain that their Ducati can't pull their Airstream."... | |
| I need a new Source I'm familiar with two players that can switch between NTSC and PAL output but there must be many more. The two I'm familiar with are the California Audio Labs CL-2500 DVD (one of which I have for sale) and the Rotel RDV-1060. Both work well as tra... | |
| CD-R burnout My experience with trying to preserve various kinds of digital data over the last 20 years or so is that the problem is almost always the obsolescence of the player, or the interface between the player and the output device, rather than the longev... | |

| Stereophile review of the T-Amp The coolest thing about the T-amp, other than the price, is something I didn't anticipate at all. In my home office, where I spend way too much time in front of the computer, it's incredibly handy to have the amp and its volume control right there... | |
| Voltage Adaptation - Help an Unknowledgeable Buyer I don't have any technical knowledge about this but I've been using a European model, 230V, Cambridge Audio CD4 player with a Powerbright 100W transformer that I bought new for less than $20 online. It works and sounds great. | |
| Good Budget CD and integrated???? I recommended the Music Hall CD-25 in my post above and it occurs to me now that a very good combination could be a Music Hall CD-25.2 paired with the new Music Hall A-Series integrated amp, particularly if your friend prefers to buy new and get a... | |
| Good Budget CD and integrated???? I own an Audio Refinement Complete integrated amp and a Music Hall CD-25 player with upgraded opamps. The combination is very, very nice and could be had used for less than your budget.Another alternative I can recommend from personal experience w... | |
| The Future: No More Shiny Discs. Who Benefits? I think all the hand wringing and garment rending over iPods and online distribution is missplaced.There's nothing sacred about the shiny disc, though if one had fallen from the sky during the 12th century people would surely have formed a religio... | |
| The Future: No More Shiny Discs. Who Benefits? But the downside for the record companies is that buying music will now be ala carte, one song a time and only the ones you really want, no more buying 11 lousy songs to get one good one. That's one of the reasons record companies did everything t... | |
| Best lines in a song "My second cousin, his name was Calloway,He died when he'd barely turned two.And it was peanut butter and jelly that did it,The help, she didn't know what to do,She just stood there and watched him turn blue."Lyle Lovett - 'Family Reserve' |
