| Toploading CD transports recommendations Jay's Audio CDT-2. | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados Changed to Biret/Naxos for PC2, nice, more distant perspective.I think I have Arrau also on a budget reissue. Must check. The way the piano floats over the orchestral accompaniment in the slow movement is delectable. | |
| Balanced (XLR) CD player recommendations I doubt you'll find a true balanced design at your price point unless it's pretty long in the tooth, at which point some of the mechanical parts may become a bit dodgey. | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados Revisiting Chopin/Zimerman/Giulini on DGG. A remarkably engineered recording. If the soundstage isn't well outside your speakers, something is wrong. Depth is fine but not commensurate with width. Fine performance, not quite sure about the tre... | |
| Valvet E2. 300B killer? Sugden perhaps. | |
| Upgrading B&W 685 S1 to ? Fritz Carrera 3 BE fit the bill. Mention the $ special he was offering after CAF. | |
| PMC vs. Salk Sound Speakers. Which is better? I currently own PMCs, and went back several times during recent CAF to hear the Salk speakers. The Song3s, two versions, were very good. Very competitive with the PMCs at a very competitive price. There might be other models in the Salk line-up... | |
| Anyone with experience with the effectiveness of the AVA HUMDINGER? I tried the Humdinger to eliminate Rogue transformer hum, and it didn't do a thing.

| Considering used towers under $1000.. Audio Archon has them in Libertyville. | |
| Who has Luv for the Lyngdorf 2170 and is thinking about the 3400. As an alternative, has anyone inserted an RP-1 in their current pre/power set-up? When you run RoomPerfect, does it otherwise affect how your Krell/Jadis sounds? | |
| ‘modern’, ‘mainstream’ speakers—too many models converging towards too similar a sound Thanks, guys, interesting discussion.What I didn't put in the original post is that through this same experience I was also very impressed by three different speakers all of which could be considered to have wide baffles (certainly by modern stand... | |
| Totem Forest Signature v. Joseph Audio Profile If you go with 1 foot you'll squash a lot of life out of them. If you can position properly, both are excellent choices. | |
| CDP's: NuPrime vs Naim Lots of Nuprime commentary on Audio Circle.Also I think there's a new DAC that's just dropped. | |
| Optimal high impedance speaker Save up for the least expensive version of the Audio Note AN-E, or look for a used pair. | |
| Running Benchmark AHB2 in bridged mode and 4 Ohm Speaker I’ll leave the technical discussion to the boffins. The point I was trying to make, as I said before, was that, by all accounts, Benchmark seems actively to promote the use of their amp in bridged form. Why else would they send pairs of them out t... |
