| "The Death of High Fidelity" I read the above with fascination and some horror. I have some modern recordings that are highly distorted (almost anything by John Mayer) or shrill and flat sounding (almost anything I own from Sony Classical made in the last ten years), and some... | |

| cambridge audio 640c v2 annoying click? Boy, I had never cared about this until you pointed it out. I took my head phones off, stopped my CD, started it again, my 640C V2 clicked, a little bit. I still don't care. It has tremendously good sound for the cost - not high-end per say - but ... | |
| Best setup for Totem Arros... Try these combinations:Shanling CD-T80, andUsed Musical Fidelity A3.2 integrated amplifier (A3.5 if you can find it in your budget, or add used MF CDP too)-spatial resolution will make Totem Arros disappear, among other good thingsorused Naim CD5(... | |
| What started you on the merry go round? Not really an epiphany, but a long trail to the rabbit hole. When I was young, my parents (dad) listened to a lot of music on this funky system he set up with an HH Scott tube receiver, old Garrard record changer and two large "full spectrum" spea... | |
| A hard look at the effect of cables If the Meridian approach was a smashing commercial success, I guess it would be more popular among manufacturers. Market forces, whatever they may be, seem to dictate otherwise. I got a kick out of your analogy with the fashion industry - perhaps ... | |

| A hard look at the effect of cables I am just curious, if multiamplification is such an obvious advantage, why don't I hear more on this site about Meridian speakers? Specific execution by that brand, or not as great in general practice as in theory? Or is it marketing psychology - ... | |
| What are the treasures in your vinyl library? Just received well over 100 LPs from my father's collection ranging from vintage mono from around 1950 to pre-digital early 1980s. Very broad range of stuff. I have only a vague idea what treasures are buried in there, but will get back to you on ... | |
| A hard look at the effect of cables HA! No worries, the sub does add a quite a lot to any recording by Missy Elliott. Badonkdonkdonk. | |
| Which components knocked you out on first listen? System 1. Revel Ultima speakers (not Ultima 2) fed by Mark Levinson CDP, pre and amps, in a stereo shop in Santa Barbara, CA. I have heard a lot of other great speakers (e.g. Wilsons, big Magnepans, Quads, etc.) fed by extremely expensive electron... | |

| Low Inductance Cable? Audioquest and I believe Zu do not publish the specs of their cables, so I don't know how you can determine whether or not they are "Low inductance". Kimber publishes specs for all their cables and the 4TC has relatively low inductance and are wel... | |
| A hard look at the effect of cables Psacanli, It's OK to criticize, but I don't have to agree. My limited experience is that subwoofers are not embraced by the all members of the audiophile community. Can they enhance bass response and overall system performance? YES. Are they easy ... |
