| CD player in the $2,500 to $5,000 range Don't have a recommendation in your price range but I'm curious what you are listening to while you search. | |

| Jazz recommendations? Bob James works for me when I want something unobtrusive. | |
| What is the best sounding HDCD? Recvd the John Hammond cd today. The sound quality is exceptional. I'll have to listen to this a few more times to get a feel for the music but it is promising. Thanks for the tip Herve1 and Mang53. Finding music of this type is what this site is ... | |

| What is the best sounding HDCD? Just ordered the John Hammond cd. I'll give it a listen and get back on it. Thanks for tip.I have a copy of Chris Isaak's Baha sessions but haven't really listened to it yet, must get to it. As for Joni Mitchell, her HDCD discs are great. Besides ... | |
| Is anyone using Custom House cables? Sounds fishy to me. | |
| Best CDs for vocals? Ordered the Sara Gazarek as recommended by Mijknarf. It does have a nice clean sound quality. Nice voice, I'll need to hear it a few times before recommending it but firdt impression is good. | |
| Notice how many SACD collections for sale? Guidocorona, a philosophers name if ever I heard one. I suspect you're incorrect though as far as SACD's life expectancy. | |
