| Shuguang 845B vs Shuguang 845M In my Cary 805C I have used 845, Shuguang 845B and Sophia 845M. I have used the 845M for 4 months with no problems. I absolutely love the sound of the 845M and would not entertain the thought of going back to the 845B or 845.John | |

| Levinson source with CJ amps experience I have a series 1. I purchased mine on Audiogon for just under 4k. I think the series 1 should sell for the same price as a used ML 380s. IE between 3,200 and 3,800. CJ quoted me 1,000 to update my 16 to a series 2 and add a home theater by pass.John | |

| No 30.5 & 31.5. Still of reference quality ? I replaced my theta data basic II and gen Va with a mark levinson 37 and 360s. The levinson gear is a lot more relaxed in its presentation. If nothing elsetry replacing your data basic II with a cheap (200.00 US) sony dvd player. This made a big d... | |
| Conrad Johnson Premier 14 vs. 17LS Pre-Amp I upgraded from a 14 to a 16. With the 16there was better defined bass and moremusical detail. The art, 16 and 17 alluse the same design and parts. The differenceis the number of 6922 tubes they use.CJ rates the performance as art 100%,16 90% of a... | |

| Best Cd player 1000.00 range used as transport ? I just replaced my theta data basic II with a cheapsony DVD player used as a transport. The SONY presents more detail, wider soundstage and more pronounced bass. Laserswear out over time. I would not recommend buying anold transport. | |
