| Budget TV to Amp interconnects? I don't think it will be money well spent. An entry level cable from a company like Monster should be more than enough. I wouldn't go higher than $25-$30. | |
| Converting FLAC to WAV and keeping tags? "As a psychologist by trade, I have no doubt the difference I'm "hearing" could be illusory. Never the less..."Andrew,Its just my opinion/advice, but don't doubt yourself. Currently, there are a lot of people getting into audio by way of computer.... | |
| win7 music player iTunes dosen't support FLAC. I don't like JRiver either. Like you said, it sounds good but its not fun to use.Heres a list of some free players you can download and try. Clementine, Songbird, Amarok, Foobar, Quod Libet, Banshee. I'm pretty sure th... | |
| Help me put a system together for my son That amp should be more than enough for the speakers you are going to use. Fotre was designed by Pass as a more affordable alternative to some of his higher priced equipment. I have no idea as to what its worth or if it needs to be recapped. I wou... | |
| PreAmp recomendation please... I have a Calypso. If you didn't like the Rhea, then why would you consider it? They do share a similar sound. Also, I would add 2 more brands to your list; CJ and BAT. They both make extremely good preamps that you will probably like. | |

| Unsatisfied with Esoteric K-01: Alternatives? You may want to look at a Cary 306. If you want something really musical, the 306 is a very good choice. | |
| What's the dif bewteen Vandersteen 2CE and 2CE Sig I haven't heard the 2CE in a long time I can't comment on the difference between the two. Another option I would consider is having your speakers updated to Sig 1 status. | |
| Joseph Audio RM22XL I've heard them a few times. I don't have enough experience with them for a full review, but I did find the HF's to be a little bright. | |
| Cartridge gain overload - please explain Mark,Just wondering if you made any progress with your system? If so, what did you do? | |
| Help me put a system together for my son I agree with Warrenh on the YBA. That should be a very good match for the MMG. Like he says, though, you probably won't find one unless you get lucky. | |
| Theta Compli used as a CD Player? internal DAC I've never liked Theta CD players. To me, they sound very lifeless. I would definitely look at other players, as well. I had a 640V2 and thought it was very good for the money. Of the CD players you list, that would be my first choice.That said, I... | |
