Most annoying Stereo magazine claim
I don't understand Stereophile's Class ratings. For example, with amps, there is a $1500 Class A amp and megabuck Class A amps. Do they both sound the same or does one mean that at a price point, this is the best you can get. How about the common ... 
Cd storage..what's an audiophile to do?
I do what Mezmo does. I have about 8 case logic cd storage cases. I keep them in two draws. I take out the insert that comes with the jewel box and keep them all, in no order, in my bookcase. I through out the empty jewel cases. I have the case lo... 
Sonus Fabers and tube amps
Mozart:I have SF Grand Piano's (not the new version). I have tried the following tube amps: Mesa Baron and VAC Avatar SE. They both sound great and I highly recommend good tube amps for these speakers.

Is the Live Music Reference Correct?
I have to post one more reply because of given this topic some thought. Everytime I do go to a live performance, I listen to the music for a few minutes through audiophile ears. I try to gauge the soundstage, imaging, bloom, etc, all the descripti...

Best Integrated Amp
Bigcigarman:I too usually look for integrated amps because I think there are some great units out there and the one box saves space. I haven't heard all of the units that you have but I really enjoyed the Musical Fidelity NuVista integrated. With ... 
24/96 DAC with HDCD function at US1000
I was just looking at the Musical Fidelity A3CD information which is claimed to put out at 24/96 and to upsample 16 bit to 24/96. Is this for real? It does not have HDCD but it got a great review from Wes Phillips and it costs a $1000. Does anyone... 
cables for Krell KAV300i
I have a Krell 300i, B&W 602's and currently a Cal Audio Lab CL 20 DVD/CD player. It sounds pretty great with NBS stinger interconnects, and MIT terminator speaker cable. I have used a Rega Planet with the Krell and B&W and thought is was ...
