| can i improve my system with a better cd player? I say FORGET CDs AND vinyl and hire live musicians to come over and play stuff. They're analog (mostly) and sound almost as good as a recording...and cheaper than good cables!...end of discussion. | |
| can i improve my system with a better cd player? I bought a used Dacmagic for around $300 and it improved an older CD changer big time (digital out on the changer). My old but well made Marantz changer has a new lease on life. | |

| When to get your amp up graded caps ??? The above post fails to mention how out of balance and spec the amps were in the first place, but if Bryston does this free of charge (for 20 years...very cool) I suppose nobody cares. It seems that often it costs so much to upgrade everything or ... | |
| High-value powered monitors Mackies. Several models out there, and you can find 'em used easily. | |

| When to get your amp up graded caps ??? I think it is sometimes necessary to "downgrade" the amp when one feels unworthy of the high quality of the sound. | |

| Stupid question AC signal? I thought we were talking about speaker cables. At least I was. | |
| Have you donated yet? Forgive me for "harshing anybody's mellow"...but while they're at it I suggest they ask the "youth" why they exhibit near zero social conscience and among those eligible to vote do so at the stunning rate of 11%. Is the govt out of control? Who ca... | |
| Magico Q3's at Goodwin's High End As a singer, I am now learning to perform test tones in case of an electrical grid meltdown. I have a large head but agree that, in the words of the respected bass player Will Lee, "everybody needs a little head." | |
| Magico Q3's at Goodwin's High End Did I mention Ronstadt's head...HUGE...like a gigantic Mexican mellon...just frightening....scares small children...although I doubt there's a connection to her vocal chops. |
