Read whitecamaross’ thread, " My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each!"He swaps expensive gear like the rest of us change clothes and has his mind blown by his new gear on a regular basis.

| Martin Logan Summit X vs Impression 11A Thanks james. I know it's possible to "upgrade" yourself into a sound you don't like. The Summit Xs are nice speakers, but being a 'Goner I can't help thinking, "maybe just one more upgrade and then I'm through." | |

| Great music few are aware of. Any genre. Jimmy LaFave Start with "Cimarron Manifesto" or "The Night Tribe" Poetic Austin (by way of Oklahoma) songwriter/rocker/Dylan devotee. His voice may not be to everyone’s taste. Think of a male early Lucinda Williams, the way his voice breaks and cr... | |

| Here's a fire starter: Analog is as good as SACD It depends on which format you want to listen to more. I can’t comment on your turntable setup but I know you can do a lot better than the oppo on the digital side for reasonable money.Also, oppo players starting with the 103 and 105 models can st... |
