| CD Player buying decisions I also am a big fan of the music hall, it is a great player for the price. I also like the Linn Mimik, but they are different sounds, listen for yourself and goodluck, | |
| Best hi-fi salon 'round No doubt, John Rutan at Audio Connection in Verona, NJ! | |
| Best SACD/CD Player up to 3000 street price? If you can find a Musical Fidelity 3d, it will give you close to the performance of an SACD player and will match perfectly with the amp. I have the same set up, it is amazing. | |
| Classe vs. Meridian I am biased because I own a 508.24, but I recommend it highly. It is an exception player and better than the Classe. The meridian is more refined with better detail and bass. You will get the meridian sound, just more of it. You can get the 508.24... | |
| All time classics? Your top 3 or 4? 1. Synergistic Research AC Master Coupler2. Cal Audio Labs (Most of their CDP's)3. Mark Levinson Amps4. Quad ESL 63 | |
| Musical Fidelity A3.2 Integrated Vs Krell KAV-300i In this price range there are other options than these two amp, but if you want one, the musical fidelity is much better than the krell, except for the bass. The MF will give you much more sweetness, musicality and balance the the 300i can ever pr... | |
| "Kid A" I have listened to Coldplay for over 2 years now and they are my favorite band. If you want to try Coldplay, start with Parachutes then get the new album and their LP's. Also if you like this Brittish sound, try "Badly Drawn Boy", somewhere in bet... | |
| B&W 802N's ???amplification??? Again, I would recommend the W-5/P-5 combo. Also a big fan of the plinius SA-100 or SA-102, if you need a ton of power than the SA-250. Also I enjoy my Musical Fidelity M3 integrated and highly recommend that is well if you can find one. I feel li... | |
| Opinions on why this system is uninvolving Your problems could lie in the cabling. You could try some acoustic zen stuff, it is really good and has a very "musical" sound. That could only improve on the systems uninvolving nature. You could also other cables amongst them the audience au24 ... | |

| CD v. SACD For around 1600 dollars you could get a naim CD5 or a meridian 508.24 which would be better than the jupiter anyway. As for SACD, if you interested in the new format, SACD's will sound much better than redbook, but the sony is not quite as good as... | |
| Power Conditioning, Regeneration and Cords An audio magic stealth would make a huge difference, it doesn't regenerate the power, it conditions it and does amazing things with it. I have two small ones, one for my analog, the other for the digital. I live in a city as well with dirty power ... | |
| audition spots in los angeles Another one is automation CH on Wilshire and Centinela, some good stuff, as well as LA Audio Video and the Sound Factor, enjoy! | |
| Monitor speakers for Plinius 8200 Personally I feel that you will get a very warm sound with the plinius and the planet so your speakers do not neccesarily have to be all that warm. I have heard the plinius with B&W nautilus 805 and have loved the detail combined with the warm... |
