| Perentage system $$ for speakers And cables, interconnects and power conditioner is probably another $1500. | |
| Perentage system $$ for speakers PS: I did not consider the other components because the preamp and power-amp drive the speakers, but I just realized that my Rotel RCD-990 CD Player also listed for $1500. | |
| Perentage system $$ for speakers I've done some switching around recently but the approximate list prices of the system I started out with was. Conrad Johnson PV10A Preamp $1500; Conrad Johnson MF2100 Power Amp $1500; and B&W P5 Speakers $1500. I guess 1/3 then. | |

| 2nd hand DAC for DVD/CD Player The Krell designed Soundstream is auctioned on this site a lot. A used Cambridge Audio DacMagic is another good choice. | |
| CD player tweaks I do not know if this will work with the CD4-SE, but with the original CD4 there is a noticeable improvement if a BNC cap plug is put on the BNC digital output on the back. An BNC to RCA adapter will function as a cap plug. These are cheap at Radi... | |
| Indoor FM Antenna Recommendations?? Do you have cable TV? Some cables systems have FM in the feed and they do not even tell anyone. You would get lots of stations from all over with perfect signals. |
