| How did you choose your equipment? Option (5) is buying used equipment and putting it in your system to hear with your own ears. When it doesn't meet expectations, reselling it. That's my method. Although there are a few decent dealers close enough, I don't visit them all that ofte... | |
| $500 used CD Player Recommendations A few weeks ago I picked up a beautiful Arcam CD-23 for $550. The seller was a local high-end shop that took it on trade. I picked it up so no shipping worry.Exceptional cdp at a bargain price. You need to figure your preference and be ready to bu... | |
| 2-way speaker with best bass In my room it was the Proac Response 2.5. They really seemed to pump out the bass. As for tuneful though, that goes to the Revel M-20. Not deep but extremely detailed bass. | |
| Blues from the 50s/60s/70s Audiogon at its best! | |
| Good speakers for a low budget Just received my AudioAdvisor flier in the mail today. They are advertising new NHT Classic 3s for $650. I haven't owned them but at that price. | |

| Blues from the 50s/60s/70s What you are asking is that persons with decades of valuable information give that hard learned & impossible to find vinyl to you for the cost of a email. Crem1, what exactly do think the Audiogon forums are for? | |
| Musical yet Detailed DAC Around $700 Have you heard of any DAC that might match the CD-23?No I haven't heard a dac that sounds as good as the CD-23. The PS Audio comes close when I use the balanced outputs but not through the RCA jacks. Not sure if it's the amp or the dac but it is ... | |

I'll keep this player until it dies and then I'll either purchase another CD-50 or a CD-55. Bradearles comments about th... | |

Years ago I was living in Champaign IL and one of the local hi-end shops had a Nakamichi tech come in offering a free check and tun-up for any model. I too... | |
| Need help with a rack And you say they sound good too?Phaelon, if you rap your knuckles on the stone you get nothing but a dull thud and sore knuckles. The stone seems exceptionally inert. If you click on the Bel Canto pic you can see the shelf up close.It sounds as if... | |
| Need help with a rack If modding is ok then maybe DIY is for you, here's my experience.I wanted a rustic look when I was building my rack. After some experimenting I used Pennsylvaina slate. There would be some changes if I was to do it again but the slate works well a... |
