| Recommended IC for Pioneer Blu-Ray player 3 pair or the Audioquest Diamondbacks go for $627 new online. If it were me I'd apply that towards a newer (used) AVR that does hi-rez decoding and a $30 HDMI cable. Much better bang for the buck IMHO. | |

| Denon Receiver vs Adcom preamp My best guess would be the DACs' in the Denon would be better than those in the Adcom, but everything else in the adcom would be better than the Denon. If your using the Denon mainly for a pre-amp it may sound much better. I'm pleasently surprised... | |

| Music player recommendations? Whatever you get, get some decent 'phones. I use Grados' iGrado and listen to them all day while working and really enjoy them. They stay on when you bend over (or run away from attack dogs!), unlike the portable Sennheisers I had (they sounded go... | |
