AudioMeca vs. AudioAero vs. Electrocompaniet
I am interested in this player (Sony XA777ex) and was wondering if anybody has had it modified and what the difference is in the before and after mods. Thanks 
Rosemary Clooney / Shirley Horn / Peggy Lee
I love "Is That All There Is" by Peggy Lee. I don't know which album it is on, but was popular around 1969-70 or so. 
Preamp Deal of the Century
Does this pre-amp have a volume remote control? 
Naim -- Fatiguing?
If you find any of the amps you listen to lacking in something that's important to you, then it is not the right choice and you should continue to look. It was a long time before I purchased my amps because I kept finding fault with all of them in...

Gold Face Olympic Power = Canada
Way to go Canada. It was a great game. Even though us Americans lost, we lost to a great country and a very good hockey team. I am also proud of our Americans that did win the medals, they all worked hard for it. 
XA7ES, Miles, Cary 301, ARC CD-1?? Direct to amp..

Placette pre amp
I will contact Placette and talk to them about my system and see what they have to say. If I can try it and return it if I don't like it I don't have anything to lose, so will be contacting them shortly. Thanks 
Placette pre amp
Thanks for the input, it's actually been very helpful, especially Marakanetz. I will probably buy the Legend pre and get the Creek OBH 12 or the Placette for the remote volume. I was also thinking about getting the Hovland pre, but will have to lo...
