@mgreen27in that case I will probably stick to what I know which will NOT include any pc based systems, its not like I actually NEED to do this, was just a thought.my present system is superb to my ears and it was just a fancy to possibly move for...

Ok so I am way too lazy to read ALL of the posts in here but scanned through a few.I was probably in the group pf class d naysayers due to a bad experience a few years back with a pair of bel canto 500m monoblocks that were basically, well soulles...

Decided to change my cd player, suggestions please?
Well that was certainly a BIG surprise!Just goes to show that not all components synergize together well.I had the chance to buy a pair of B&W 804D speakers at a very fair price so just had to do it.I was not expecting anything majorly differe...
