I need a good quality CD player - with changer
Tom, while I don't have any experience with any other changer so I don't know if it is slow in comparison or not, it is a bit slower than I would consider ideal. Though, not nearly as bad as the early Sony SACD ES (SCD-1 and SCD777ES) players I li... 
Tube amps for classical music FU29 vs EL34
You can run most any everyday non triode output tube in the JOR, beyond the 6L6 variety.KT90 is the most powerful. EL34 sound much different (softer) and less powerful, though there is no penalty in terms of life, and the standard Orchestra uses t... 
I need a good quality CD player - with changer
I highly recommend the Sony SCD-C333ES player, which I own.It's a surprisingly good sounding Redbook CD changer on its own, with a lot more fullness, richness, and body than I ever expected. Also, the digital filters allow you to tailor the sound ...

Swampwalker, how have you been? I can personally assure you that your AtmaSphere M60 purchase is quite a smart one. Please remember Ralph Karsten's "20 Year Rule". This is an ironclad, all out, commitment to do EVERYTHING he could possibly do to e... 
SETs vs. Push/Pull
D_edwards, I am not at all confused about Classe. As you mentioned, they have sounded pretty much the same for the past decade. We are totally in agreement here. Where we differ is in what we hear. What I was expecting to hear was power and assure... 
SETs vs. Push/Pull
One thing that has always struck me about Classe, and I have heard a whole lot of their amps, was that they ALWAYS underwhelmed me. First of all, even those that tend to be quite large sound a lot whole lot less than their power rating suggest. Se...

Wellfed, you are correct in saying that each invidual will have their own experiences and perspectives. I shouldn't be speaking in absolutes, but I guess I get a nerve pinched, as I often see a lot of people going for Zeroes and felt they were abs...

You are oh so right, Tom! If it measures better, it must be better. Wellfed, I agree that the Zeroes allow one to use the Atmas, just feel that they seriously hurt the sound in the various cases me and a friend have tried them in. A buddy here loa... 
Ported, Sealed or Transmission Line
We're on the same page, Eldartford.One thing I now remember Bud recently telling me involves the superiority of the TL over the sealed/aperiodic alignment. As many know, the Fried C satellite (often used with D 8" or O 10" subwoofer in the Valhall...

As someone who tried the Zero Autoformers with my AtmaSphere M60s, they are not a very good option, in my experience. Yes, they allow the OTL amps to see a higher impedance. Yes, the allow the amps to drive a speaker they would not normally mate w... 
Ported, Sealed or Transmission Line
I sound like a broken record, but Sean makes a lot of good points. While I also don't have a lot of experience with aperiodic enclosures, Bud is a big fan of them in certain instances. The transient response is supposedly improved, and the impedan... 
Who makes a "true" Transmission Line speaker?...
Alxg, all I can say is that if the VR4Jrs impressed you this much, I heartily suggest you buy them! It is rare we fall in love with a component to this degree, and when we do, it is an obvious buy. I wish you well with them,Joe

Rush, I was able to access the site yesterday afternoon and this morning. 
Who makes a "true" Transmission Line speaker?...
Alxg, although this will sound kind of like a copout, what was wrong with the VR4Jr speakers is very difficult for me to put my finger on. Most of our group of 15 or more felt the same way. One person even owns an older pair of Von Schweikert 4SE(...
