| Tell us compliments received on your system... None of my friends care. To me it sounds so much better than anything I have had before(so far from what I think would be ideal), but my friends are indifferent. I think that says a lot. One friend referred to the Denon as a "honking big thing". D... | |

| What makes a system compelling? In my case my system becomes most compelling when I listening to a recording I would usually have little interest in. I know that sounds stupid, but it is true. It is then I am most conscious of listening to the effect my system has had on a recor... | |

| How often to Audiophiles upgrade their equipment? It depends what you are in it for. There are many different reasons why a person might want to "upgrade" their equiptment.

| The listening constraints have been lifted The couple upstairs from me have a baby. Up until the time they brought the baby home I could listen to my music as often and loudly as I wanted. They are really nice people. They encouraged me to listen and enjoy, and I did! Now, however, they ha... | |
| Are you delighted at your present system? I am delighted with my system as it has been for the past year. It is a far cry from the "audiophile" system I have dreamt of having. It is not true to the recordings it has been fed. However, its character is such that it is very easy to listen t... |
