New format players the future?
I posted on your software thread that EMI has just made a new commitment to producing more SACD and DVD-A titles. Not enough titles has always been one of the problems with the new formats as others have already stated.You can never tell. The orig...

Cheap Stuff That Keeps Up?
Jeff, You don't have a system in the bathroom last time you listed them all. The garage system was the last one right? You have five or six now counting the office? 
Trying to keep parents out of Circut-City
If you don't mind used and can find one, I also suggest the Cambridge Audio A3i integrated amp that the A500 replaced. It is better than the A500 and was designed top to bottom by Mike Creek. So the best of both (low price and a Creek). It also ca...

Why do no audio enthusiasts use McIntosh?
Hmmm is Hueske on to something? What he is describing is the same type of person who swears by Bose and just goes back to the Bose dealer in the mall. Now Bose is complete junk. McIntosh is not, it is nice stuff. Could McIntosh be what a Bose pers...

So I guess you are asking about which amp? I would easily give the nod to the Creek. The Cambridge is also a nice amp if it comes down to price (the Cambridge costs half as much) Also for $60 more you can add phono to the Cambridge if your parents...
