| Parasound CBD 2000 Transport I've owned a highly modified version of this as transport only. It was wonderful, yet did not play burned CDs consistently. Will play HDCD as a Redbook disc unless used only as a transport into a DAC with the HDCD chip. Never cleaned the lens. Any... | |
| Rega P25. Getting radio signals thru interconnects That's an option you usually have to pay extra for. | |
| Best CD Soundtrack "Master and Commander". Any MA recording. | |
| Best solid state amp under 1k A Sugden (always Class A) was listed on the 'gon for $900. That will definitely get you there. Smooth midrange, solid controlled bass and really really quick on attack. Maybe not with tube bloom, but really decent. | |
| BNC to RCA adaptor I asked about the BNC and several stated that an adaptor would work well and not degrade the signal. They all liked the BNC connectors. The rhodium is perhaps not the best. Thanks for suggestion. | |
| Luxman L 505 U Integrated Amplifier Agree with previous responses. Buy here or Canada. Also, I've listened to all of the MAC gear at Magnolia HiFi and must say.....I just don't get it. For that kind of money....very curious. Stick with the Luxman, I've owned several of their pieces ... | |

| Best cartridge under $100 - vintage Akai TT If I remember correctly, this is a higher mass arm. The Grado does better with higher mass than the Ortofon. I've sold all of them at one time. Ortofon is very good sound, just did not handle heavier arms well. | |
| Help me down grade Jolida 1301 or 1501 integrated, original Planet CD player and Epos M5 speakers would provide a respectable bookshelf system for those dollars. | |
| Decco by Peachtree Audio Good Deal? Great amp for $700, outrageous for $400. Are you kidding? The DAC alone is worth the $400. Replace the stock tube and PC with upgrades and this will compete with amps far more expensive. Enjoy it man. | |
| Integrated Amp - Looking to replace my amp & pre Don't leave out Sugden. | |
| whats the finest recorded cd you've heard? Any MA recordings. Better than XRCD, FIM or any others. |
