| Emotiva Goes Brick and Mortar i see emotiva's prices are still significantly cheaper than comparable gear from the other "affordable hifi" players (parasound/rotel), though they seem to be moving their product line more towards higher-priced (presumably higher margin) "referen... | |
| Emotiva Goes Brick and Mortar emotiva seems to be changing a couple of things--adding retailers and moving their manufacturing back to the states. though they claim otherwise, you have to believe this will have the effect of raising prices (or at least keeping prices higher th... | |
| Bad news for audiophiles? viridian, you funny | |
| Better 2-channel music try using your oppo as a preamp (connect your amps to the oppo instead of the marantz) and see if it makes a difference | |

| NAD 787 receiver.. Will satisfy audiophile? it doesn't surprise me that most of the posters above aver to repair issues with their nad units, which has certainly been my experience. they sound good when they're working, however. | |
| Thoughts on new Blur album i heard the new one on spotify--it's good, but i'd start with their masterpieces, parklife and great escape. much as i admire blur, i've always found their excessive britishness a bit hard to genuinely embrace--their arch-rivals oasis, though nowh... | |
| Dynamic speakers tannoy would be another to consider | |
| Van Morrison "Duets" i took a quick listen and didn't like it--can't blame the guy for trying to make a living, but these duet albums really do smack of being in a creative void. i've heard similar ones from john fogerty, elton john and seemingly every other past-thei... |
