What do you think about this ?
"feedback cannot be left unless money changes hands?" That's a crying shame. Someone can promise, give their word, hold up your auction with bs, and you cannot give the person negative feedback? $$ are the sole criteria to be judged on the 'gon? G... 
What do you think about this ?
'goners are too generous, sometimes, for my taste. I would give him a neutral, with as clear a reason as you can make, in that little space. Your experiences with him will be appreciated and noted. It's fair and honest. peace, warren 
Listening practices
Years ago I sold (to a used cd store) about 50 discs that were collecting moth balls on my shelves. I wanted to listen to many of them since, of course. The cds, I've learned, are worth the sitting around time (I keep them dusted, now) for the, ev... 
CD player for my system
After you buy the Prima (hopefully) and live with it a while you may decide (probably) that your amplification is not doing it. You may want to go with an integrated that will be able to show off what your Prima can do. Think about the YBA Passion... 
When did it all start?
Beatles? S&G? 1972? What were you smoking, there, at 11? Being 11 in '72 and 11 in '64--I was watching the Beatles, on Ed Sullivan, singing I Want to Hold Your Hand. Man, was that something. Shindig, Hullabaloo, the Smothers Brothers. Here I g... 
Sand bags under/over For Isolating ?
Sand?--an anathema, for what you're considering. Belongs on the beach. peace, warren 
CD player for my system
Since you plan on replacing everything after you get your cdp, what is the purpose of your post? You start with the source and go from there. Naturally we are going to give you our favorites. Your system, from what you're saying, is a temporary th... 
When did it all start?
It was, like, yesterday. Went to my friend's house and he played me the Sounds of Silence (shows you how long ago that was. It wasn't an oldie, then) through his father's Fisher receiver and AR3 speakers. I went out of my mind, especially when he ... 
CD player for my system
You are dead right about this being beat to death. But what hasn't on the 'gon? Anyway, take a good listen to the Audio Aero Prima. Lists for $2300. Can be found brand spanding new, for under $2k. One beautiful, killer, sweet cdp. I believe I've h... 
CD and/or LP collections. Is it about the music?
My wife thinks I'm over the edge with my cd purchases. Though, I ONLY have about 350, I've gone pretty heavy in the last year. (last purchase being 20 XRCDs) I'm going to show her all these threads. I'm over the edge? She's not a member of the 'go... 
Biggest Sound in the Littliest Box
WELL?? What did you get? Still looking/listening? 
Suggestions for a monitor speaker
The Revel M20s. As good as monitors get. TREMENDOUS sound from these babies. There are reviews galore on them. Remember the stands. Do not go half assed with the stands. They are a significant extension of your speaker. Something to think about, $... 
Advise for CD player upgrade? Arcam? Rega? MF?
Although the Audio Aero Prima lists for $2300, I think (Tony will give you a killer price) you can get it, brand spanking new, in your $$ ballpark. Nothing you mentioned can go one round with this baby. I have spoken adnauseam about this player. I... 
CD and/or LP collections. Is it about the music?
350 CDs--30 of which are XRCDs. Now that I have found THEE place to buy CDs, I'll be sitting with 500 (easily) by next summer. peace, warren 
CD Player Power Supply Tweak
The two best things I have done for my front end were to have a dedicated line installed and then, (and that's a big THEN) the purchase of the Audio Magic Mini Digital. Unbelievable. A great cdp/system became even greater. Also: my cdp, as well as...
