Help on premium cd player
I'm still enthralled by my Eletrcompanie EMC-1 MkII. 
Dedicated line which wire?
Great posts, Sean and Glen.Following previous advice from several of you (inc Bob C) I installed two simple 10AWG Romex lines for my 300w idle (3 amps?) Aleph monos, and two dedicated 12AWG fancy Teflon/braided Belden 83802 for analogue (tuner and...

I don't get it
I'm quite an addictive sort, but I've never tried "herion". 
OPINIONS Best FULL RANGE used speaker for SS
I almost bought Revel Performa F30; if you can find a used pair under $2500 do check them out. Probably the best midrange in a floorstanding 3-way under $5k.Have fun. 
Whatever Happened to Snell?
Both Snell AND Boston are famous for controling product quality via strict manufacturing engineering practices.The question isn't whether Boston can maintain Snell's quality, it's whether they choose to meet the higher price points and pay attenti...
