top 5 cd transport/dac cost no object
Do a search of your topic, there have been many threads about which players we all like the best. Since no two people can agree I won't voice my opinion again. But the companies that deserve being mentioned(in no particular order) Accuphase, Audio... 
Whats the deal with CD players?
From my experience I have found a huge difference in various high end players I have tried in my system. Though as mentioned above the subtle changes don't make themselves noticeable instantly, its after a few days of listening to all of my favori...

Mark Levinson in Lexus?
I never looked at those bloody option packages!! your right, how they get you with a few extra's to get what you want!! I guess they are all about the bottom line. Well at least Lexus customer service is better then similar priced euro cars(in my ... 
Mark Levinson in Lexus?
aj-On the ES it isn't that much($)but on the LS/LX/SC/GS it is big money, or at least it used to be! I too was impressed with the system on my 99 cadilliac catera it was bose and very good(it even played upside down while the car was on fire!) But...

Well I am told and I will be able to atest to it eventually, that Mike's system sounds well I hate to say it............uh here it goes perfect. In fact it is common for an applause from the listeners after a song. And if I recall I don't think he...

Craig-That is my point in audio!! one mans virtue is anothers fault, that's why are system's are different ;)fwiw I only have a digital source, so I am sort of an odd duck-but we all knew this already!

Well I use my ears, I don't know about the rest of you but I trust mine. If I can't hear an improvement I don't do it. I find the multiple driver speakers sound more musical/lifelike, YMMV. I am sure Sean will be able to whip up some technical stu... 
Halcro VS Boulder amps, which one is better ?
That's a pretty vague question. I don't think anyone will be able to answer it honestly(perhaps a select few). Which do you like better chicken or steak?~Tim 
Mark Levinson in Lexus?
There have been a few threads on this in the past. If I recall correctly people said it sounded good, but not $5000 good, and for that kind of money you could buy one killer component for your home system and get a much larger improvement and enjo... 
best ac filter for projector?
I have been wondering the same myself, I am not sure if a PS 300 would help-seeing as it is line regenarator, or if it would add a compressed sound/image. I am not sure if just taking the edge off of the a/c current would help ala Shunyata Hydra. ... 
How many truly high-end speakers sold yearly?
Now that its mentioned I know a high end amp manufacturer that sells his amps from $12,000-50,000 and when he made the new 12k stereo amp, he had 100 chassis made(which we found a minor flaw in, but with 100 chassis on hands the flaw went into pro... 
What is the future of amp technolgy?
Well this may prove to be an intersting thread, I think the answer is quiet simple(with today's technology). The SS vs. tube thread is another can of worms all together, those who have made there choice are standing there ground. So I won't get in...
