| Is it a good idea to buy CD players over 10 years old even it is a reliable brand? For 3K you can get a very nice brand new or gently used CD player, whose sound will be very competitive and which will be guaranteed to keep playing a good deal longer. | |
| New to audio. Is there a good DAC that can produce layers of sound? You probably want an R2R tube-based DAC. MHDT and Audio Mirror are two distinct possibilities; Border Patrol would be another. Search the forum for various threads on these DACs--you'll find other relevant ones named there also. | |

| Classical Music for Aficionados @jcazador So I'm confused. Hyperion, Liszt, S. 173~Steven Osborne, but S.154~Leslie Howard. Identical titles=two different sets of compositions?? | |
| Recommendation for an audiophile speaker cord that is not "bright"? Acoustic Zen, Wireworld, Triode Wire Labs, older Cardas, perhaps Audio Envy. | |
| Does raising speaker cables off the floor really make a big difference? Suspended by a series of monofilaments attached to eye-hooks in the ceiling is the only way to go. Tests show no difference in the gauge of fishing-line used.It also makes vacuuming a breeze. | |
| Denon or Yamaha vs Other CD Transports @jay73Yes, it's kind of complicated. There are a few dedicated transports more expensive than the Jays, and several less expensive. Each model has a different set of outputs. A good number of people use players as transports; some seem to work ... | |
| Denon or Yamaha vs Other CD Transports The Denon and Yamaha are CD *players*. You need to distinguish between players and transports. Jays is a transport. Most players can be used as transports if they have a digital out (Red Book standard), but you're wasting money on the built-in ... | |
| "a stylish and affordable launch into the world of high-performance audio" Wharfedale>Paradigm any day of the week. | |

| "a stylish and affordable launch into the world of high-performance audio" Ugh. It's a Paradigm.Also: resembles 279 other generic tower speakers.Also: that's $ each. | |
| PS Audio M700 why would I biwire? Do your speakers have two sets of posts on their back?If not, all discussion is moot. | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados Bruckner retrospective. Missing the student symphony in F, I started with no. 0 and am up to no. 3. Have to say he hit his stride with no. 2 and continued with 3. Looking forward to the "Romantic". | |
