| Blind Shoot-out in San Diego -- 5 CD Players Interesting that the last to be tested was the preferred. Results might change if the order was different. Psychology always affects perception. Also, once the group decided that the last choice was best, was this player then compared back against... | |
| AVR receivers There are a number of considerations. For example, do you want HDMI connections? Are you going to have 5.1 or 7.1? Warm sound or crisp/sharp sound? What kind of speaker connections do you have/want? | |
| which technology really has the best picture If you don't have to have a flat panel, I wouldn't buy one. The SXRD by Sony has a great picture, and a more than reasonable price.

| Troubles w/ Cary 306 SACD cutting off discs at end Yes. They are supposed to provide a downloadable fix on their website. Still waiting. | |

| BAT VK30SE OR HOVLAND HP-100 Agree that Hovland is particularly strong in it's phono section. If you play vinyl, then definitely the Hovland. | |
| CDP to replace vinyl Cary 303-300 would go well. Lots of adjustments for slight sound changes, all available on the remote. | |
| Are ICEpower amps really that good? Dissonance reduction is common when you have just bought a product. | |
| Help with Tri-Vista Phono Section. I had the dealer flip the switches when I bought it, as it does default to MM. As I remember there is nothing in the literature and no labeling on the switches. We flipped both switches. | |
| Help w/ weird big-screen tuning issue? Are you using a digital box for each tv? If so, same model? | |
