Help please pre-tuner as a stand-alone tuner ???
Thanks for your help guys, it's a puzzling question. The idea of having at least the on-off feature through the pre-amp is nice BUT...as for the integrated plugged in to the pre-amp , seems I would just be routing the power through unnecessary sta... 
Krell or Classe Integrated for Sonus Faber Concert
I own Sonus Faber Grand Piano Home speakers. They have the same tonal balance as the Concertos, with a slightly lower bass extension. This means the Concertos are great speakers.My absolute worst match was the Sim Audio I-5.I really don't know wha... 
How To Burn CD's So It Will Play In Sony DVPS9000?
Yes it will play CDR-W's perfectly. I also have a music cd-R from Maxell that was recorded with the EXACT CD copy software (free on the Net)and I can hear Harry Belafonte loud and clear. I have not used this software myself, so I cannot garantee i... 
ultimate CD-R burner system?
Reading up on an earlier post GO WITH THE SLOWEST SPEED AVAILABLE . Copying a cd at 40X is just a bad proposition sonically, with all the audible pops and clicks. Try to stay at 8X and under if you can. The sound quality is amazing compared to fas...

Most achingly-beautiful music

Audio and Wine?
My honest truth opinion? After 3 glasses of wine ALL audio systems sound pretty good, it's whatever the music inspires you that takes over. Louis Armstrong's "What a beautifull world" sound much better on a cheapie boom-box than an Englebert Humpe... 
How do you "downgrade"?
First, go for gear that LOOKS GREAT. No kidding, the subjective loss will be easier to take, the musical loss also. Second don't start comparing or expecting the same sound as the previous megabuck system. In a way , let's be less analytical about... 
Cheap tweaks...What would YOU reccomend?
The Bedini cd demagnetizer / clarifier. For less than 100.00 bucks and 20 second spin on your faroritre cd, it sounds like a 3,000 system upgrade, no kidding.
