| I am looking for a CD player that has the ........ The Lector CDP 0.6t is by far the most musical CD player I have heard in any price range. It meets 2 out of 3 of your required features. Why opposed to using functions on the remote? The Lector has such a beautiful black luster finish, I would hat... | |

| Proceed Pre vs. Today's preamps I used a Proceed PRE about 5 or 6 years ago. Since then I have had a VAC Standard (tube) and a McIntosh C42 (SS). Both of these preamps so outclassed the PRE it isn't funny. The PRE presented a very harsh metallic high end, mids weren't too lush. ... | |
| Marantz dv 8400 go to 9500 or seperate dac I am currently using my DV8400 with an Electrocompaniet ECD-1 upsampling DAC. Great improvement over the redbook capabilites of the Marantz. Much more air around instruments, deeper, tighter bass. Soundstage and imaging are incredible.Theo- any re... | |

| Totem Forest or Hawk -Help I can probably get the speakers about 16-18" from front wall. Can't do much with the sides. I probably could roll them out on the "Claws" when doing serious listening. I'll have too play around with the position.Don't the corners re-enforce the ba... | |
| Totem Forest or Hawk -Help Based upon my speaker placement, see System photo, would the Forest or Hawk give me the best overall results?I have no problem driving either of these,have plenty of power. | |
| Recommended Amp for B&W cdm 9nt I recently purchased a McIntosh MC252 for my B&W CDM7NT's.This 250 watt SS amp really has the power to drive the B&W's the way they were intended. These speakers need loads of current to really open up. The MAC amp is pretty neutral, with ... | |
