| How important is it for you to attain a holographic image? I'm OK with it being a parlor trick; I don't care how the effect is produced, so long as it's there. Generally will settle for good 2D, as stereo systems and height is problematical at best. But I love it when the soundstage stretches way back b... | |

| Classical Music for Aficionados OK, Perahia/Abbado complete Schumann works for piano/orchestra. Just listened now. This is by some measure my favorite version of the concerto. Excellent! | |

| Classical Music for Aficionados Stephen Hough's compilation of York Bowen.Most enjoyable. | |
| Good CD player vs. Transport and DAC The Cambridge is a competent player.There are a few in the upper 3-figures. There are plenty of threads on transport choice.The new kid on the block is the Nuprime. Besides the basics, it seems to upsample, on request, before outputting to the D... | |
