| Leonard Cohen’s “Songs from the Road” sound issues edcyn,I checked my "Songs from the Road" CD and it shows 2010. Not that new! | |
| S.A.M. Turntables... "...there are a few AK members that have purchased them and are delighted." Good for them! hdcls should check out Audio Karma, but I wouldn't change a word of my comment. Tonykay | |
| JBL Synthesis “Bookshelves” dougey,Lots of opinions out here, everybody's got one. You say you've narrowed it down to three. My suggestion would be to look up dealers in your area (state) that can demo all three JBL models. Then walk, drive or fly there to hear them. Trust y... | |

| Tekton Brisance I’m with you prof! This looks like another unsolicited, gushing "seems too good to be true" announcement about a new speaker from Tekton. Add it to the growing list. This is not an "outrageous comment," just my opinion and I KNOW that I am entitle... | |
| DACs with volume controls Since you mention that you have "little money", I recommend looking for a Benchmark DAC1. When introduced, they sold for $995 but today you can find them for a few hundred dollars. I saw one the other day on Craigslist for $200. And yes, it does h... | |
