| aq amazon for a dark sounding cdplayer ? Grissleham,I have to ask you, what cables do you actually own. I always see you posting cables questions. Often they are Audioquest product specific questions again and again. Just curious..Chris | |
| Older Nakamichi Gear ?? Stasis ?? Having owned a lot of it and sold it when it was new. The TA and SR amps are quite nice. The CD Players are pretty bad sounding by today's standards those. I had a TA-3A which worked wonderful with a pair of Kefs. Not a bad sounding amp for pennie... | |
| Need Help With a Bright System I will say this one more time. SELL THE SPEAKERS! They are your problem. Sure they image but they are mechanical sounding, bright, and just not pleasant to listen to.Why would you want to keep them? | |
| Classe integrated and Tyler Linbrooks The Classe should do the job no issues. Should sound nice too.Chris | |
| Should I or not Only way to really find out is to give it a try. You never know. Good luck! KiD | |

| Listening Nirvana in Tiny Hideaway Room I had great success in a room about the same size as yours. I did not even spend that much on it. I was using it strictly as my first dedicated listening room after an absence from High End audio for many years. I was just tired of it but this lit... | |
| Spendor S8e vs. Sonus Faber Grand Piano IMO the Grand Pianos are a superior choice.(Yes, I own a pair)The current GP homes have just been discontinued and replaced with an updated model which is now viewable on the SF home page. If it were me, I would snatch up a pair of the Grand Piano... | |

| Cambridge Audio 640C... I want to upgrade My suggestion is go with a one box player. In your price range there are tons of great players used and new. I would suggest the following: Cary 308 or 308T, Quad CDP99, Sony XA777ES, or even the Marantz 8260. The XA777ES and 8260 have great Redbo... | |
