The only problem is that you just can't listen to what other people tell you and then go buy something. You'll need to take the advice ... | |
| Sony XA5400ES vs Rega Saturn:Which sounds better?? Sunnyjim,"To ZD542: It is not that I don't believe you; however, did you see C-55's comment about the Sony 5400 and also Jonathan 1257.

| Sony XA5400ES vs Rega Saturn:Which sounds better?? "To Jafant, I was not particularly interested in getting into SACD. As I indicated I have read several times on this site that SACD can/could enhance the sound of redbook CDs, but ZD542 claims otherwise."Its not something I claim. How can a machin... | |

| Power Cables diminishing returns Brownsfan,I don't know if you got the point I was trying to make in my post. Like you, I hear differences in PC's. When I read the posts that said you can't hear the difference in PC's based on double blind testing, I question it. Not knowing anyt... | |
| Cambridge Topaz AM10 vs Yamaha AS300 vs Onkyo I have a question for Schubert and any other Yamaha people. Yamaha prints "Natural Sound" on pretty much everything they make. Is it true? |
