| Rolling Stone top 100 Guitarists - Howe/Van Halen That is one of the worst "Top 100" lists I've seen. What a load of crap. | |

| Do you plan to buy The Beatles CD remasters? Here's a nice review of the set on tonepub. | |
| Using both balanced and unbalanced outputs Glad I never read the article saying not to use both. My Pre-3 has the unbalanced outs feeding my sub while the balanced outputs feed my amps (bi-amping a pair of PS Audio A-100s). No problems yet. I would expect a switch that would disable the no... | |
| Do you plan to buy The Beatles CD remasters? I got an email from J&R music with an offer just a day or two ago. | |
| Power Amp..opinions please The only way to know is to jump in and try one.I did and don't find class D amps the least bit boring. In my system they do exactly what I want an amplifier to do. Have to say I am susceptible to harsh or grainy sounding amps and experience none o... | |
| Total spent on music vs equipment? About $5K in equipment purchased at probably 30% of retail.Maybe $10K in music, only counting cds. I also sold off most of my lps for peanuts a few years ago. | |

During that time I also was auditioning the PS Audio Dlink III. Right up front I'll say I did not care for the VDac. It had a hard, brit... | |
| Is the volume control on the Transport or the DAC? Lall, no problems with the transport on my cd-50. Mine was purchased on ebay, at least 5 years ago, and advertised "as is." When it arrived there was an issue with the remote; the standby function did not work. Jeff Kalt, from Resolution Audio, se... | |
| Is the volume control on the Transport or the DAC? If the Capitole has a digital input then you can use it as a dac for whichever transport you chose. But I agree with T_bone concerning the need for a back up. Also, I have been using a Resolution Audio CD-50 for years now and love it. I have tried... | |
| "Tube Like" SS Integrated Amps Unlike a good transistor amp, the notes throughout the frequency spectrum will decay naturally as a tube amp has a much lower sound floor than a comparable transistor amp.Pauly, please explain the term "sound floor." It's one I'm not familiar with. | |
| The best small bookshelf speaker you ever heard? Was listening to a pair, while sitting on a sofa in front of a concrete wall. Heard a phone ringing behind me, which I obviously knew had to be a part of the music, yet like a complete an utter idiot, turned around to see if the phone was ringing.... |
