The best CD Player for the money
Music Hall Maverick SACD/Enhanced CD/CD. Lists at $1500. Mine sounds damn good. Comes with good remote. Fab listening value for the $. I did not see anyone list this unit above. Any special reason if one only wants to invest $1000-$1500 on player? 
Bringing the fun back into audio - cheap CD tweaks
There are a lot of high quality equalizers for sale for almost nothing, including parametrics and those with "pink noise" generators with mics for system analization. The better units allow you to shut down the eq and just let the signal pass thro...

NO QUESTION. VINYL. IF YOU'RE SERIOUS ABOUT MUSICAL REPRODUCTION, VINYL.period.

CLASS A AMPLIFIERS
I have a question whether or not the amp I own differs from those statements made above. Can someone tell me whether my belief that my amp runs Class A all of the time is correct or not. I have had one or the other of these units for years and alw...

Ready to spend $1100 for upgrade and need inputs
I owned a music hall MMF-5 and it sounded really good for the $$; very good value. It was in my whole-house system which is not 2-channel. The MMF-9 sounds even better. But at that $$ point I agree with uppermidfi (above) that the Sota Star Sapphi... 
Any opinions on PS Audio Power Plants
My equipment is ultra quiet, I have dedicated 20amp lines, I live in a more rural area where demands on current don't seem to be an issue. Even given all of this I noticed a very real improvement in sound the first time I plugged in the P500 (late... 
PS audio power condtioners....fan noise?
I don't hear the fan in my P500, latest version. 
PS Audio UPC-200
I recently added the P500 with the PS Audio Pure Power Power Cord to my personal system and I'm also experiencing real sound improvement. It was all very worth it for me even though I stretched my budget (who really needs 3 meals a day anyway). 
Richard Gray's 400 Pro = Emperor's New Clothes??
I got rid of my R.G.400 after I tried the PS Audio P500. I have a dedicated 20 amp line and live in a more rural area that does not have peak hour current problems. Even given this, there is no comparison in the improvement to the sound I'm now ex...
