| Best bourbon? Just finished Woodfords Reserve (wasn't that impressed) and getting ready to open Knob Creek for the 'Big Game'. I think I still prefer Blanton's and Basil Hayden for sentimental reasons. Enjoy Responsibly. | |
| Mach2Music mini and Amarra : Huge disappointment I couldn't agree more with 213Cobra. I would have steam coming from my ears too if I had invested as much as you in my playback system. I think too many people have jumped in way too early for a technology that is still far from maturing. But hey ... | |
| Where does the money go in a Blu Ray player? Many of the 'Uberexpensive' brands are rebadged models from Mfgr's like Pioneer, Oppo, Denon, Sony. There was a thread on here a few years ago where a $3500 Gamut player was really a $300 Pioneer Player. Everything was exactly the same except for ... | |
| Exceptional value in speakers today? Volent, Vapor and LSA would be on my short list. Dynaudio has always been a favorite and has a short lifespan on the classifieds. | |

| DIY TT platform Marble to Wood Changeover I agree that thoughtful consideration of your options are important. Just don't expect to get the answers from others who may have different tastes and systems. I believe in trusting oneself/myself. Since you have another use for the marble, (not ... | |
| Marantz CD6004 anybody using this player I owned the SA-8001 and it was very good on both SACD and Redbook. Three brass footers helped. I had to double the $$ to eclipse it. Went to the Lector CDP 0.7t | |

| Flexy rack threaded rod material I seriously doubt that you or anyone else on this site or anywhere else on earth would be able to "hear" a difference in an A/B/A blind test. Purchase the material you like best at the best price you can find and enjoy your music. There are no abs... | |
| What Turntable should I get? How many LPs do you own? Have you done vinyl before? Are you compulsive about set up and maintenance? What aspects of reproduction are important to you? Tables and cartridges are like women, they all have their own synergies. Some may not set well... |
