| Subwoofers: Inexpensive Hsu vs REL They are both nice subs and good brands. The TN1220 is also a very different animal from a REL. (The VTF models are more similar.) I own two REL's. I also met Dr. Hsu at CES in Las Vegas a couple weeks ago. He put on a very impressive demo. He is ... | |

| Bach's Mass in B Minor: What is best CD out there? Thanks Tweekerman....Schreier is actually more famous in Europe as a baritone soloist, than a conductor. I like what he does with the choirs he conducts. His background helps him really understand singers. I've sung under "orchestra" conductors wh... | |
| Bach's Mass in B Minor: What is best CD out there? It's funny because I sing in a professional choir. On pieces like this, I am more picky about how the chorus and soloists sound more than the orchestra. I think I will check out the Herreweghe also. | |
| bat or c-j Since you have narrowed it down this far, the best thing for you to do is to try to audition them and decide for yourself. | |
| Are CD clubs a good deal? BMG is using the same master digital source code as the original manufacturer. I've never heard anyone say the store bought BMG CDs are of lesser quality than other lables, so how can these be worse? BMG does not have a special factory that makes ... | |
| What is the best way to convert LP's to CD's? The one box units work well. A separate unit A/D converter will give you more options and flexability to upgrade other components in the signal path. | |
| Suggestions for a tube preamp The BC21 and PV10 go great with SS amps if that's your goal.I would give the nod to the BC21 (I've owned both), but your taste may be different. | |
| Need help going from separates to receiver Integra Research is Onkyo. Onkyo makes international switchable models of many of their better receivers. You may not know this because they make 110 volt only models for the North America market.Why not wait and buy the gear after you move?? | |

| Are CD clubs a good deal? Yes, BMG is great. I started with their classical LP club in college back when they called it the "International Preview Society". To get me to switch to the CD club when they were phasing out LP's they offered me 2 free CD's per year for life, as... | |
| A system under $1k an interesting link Pretty good try!! But he left no money for cables ($23), so is recommending the plastic junk at Radio Shack. So this system won't sound that good. He still needs speaker stands. He's putting them on his Bookcase!! Great imaging!!The tuner connects... | |
| Bach's Mass in B Minor: What is best CD out there? I actually mostly agree Aida....My comment on hard to get good musicians is based on some personal letters that exist from some of the old masters, where they complain to friends on the lack of good players (in some places). Mozart was a big compl... |
