...there is an interesting record:
Sean, first you find and than you try getting the very outer edge and even if you're so precise how will you know that this is it? LA and LR not neccessary have to be a couple to create a great album. 
What are your thoughts of the Tower design of amps
I'm also with Brian- that tower design is more suitable for mono amp than for stereo that will eventually occupy less floor area. 
Headphones, or Speakers???
I hate headphones. I'm getting a fatigue in almost anyone. The most descent headphones for the price are Grado RS1 which I probably can get and listen to the music alone and nobody else(what a joy!) 
Ugliest speaker ever?
Unicorns german speakers that were arround here probably last year for the auction. 
Trigger Happy Negative Feedback
Somehow I clearly see that all adds have to have features to close the transaction on-line and only after transaction is closed on-line there can be feedback left for audiogon menber. If it's non-auction add and the buyer agrees onto the price he...

TO DAC OR NOT TO DAC?
P.S. There are bunch of threads about jitter here. Jitter is defined as an error in digital reading. For example: if transport sent "1" it was read by DAC as "zero". Imagine yourself at the exhibition and you're watching paintings enclosed under t... 
What is the best scratch remover for CDs?
Not to scratch is the best. Care for it as for vinyl. Do not place the valuable CDs onto car CD player and make copies for that purpouse with descent dedicated CD-recorder(or use audio cassets that can sound in the car not worse than CD-player). I... 
NEED HELP CHOOSING NEW DAC
...not only good but realy dedicated to work with the transport inside of your one box Cary. Tough job to choose the right one that will outperform in your case. I'm affraid to give you advice for the one but you might research Mark Levinson older... 
TO DAC OR NOT TO DAC?
Single box players often have a "forgiving DAC-transport combination" making us believe that the jitter is on its possible minimum. In real life the jitter does exist on one-box players as well. Following the logic, when the one-box CD player is a... 
How grills affect?
Thanks for the great thoght sharing. I do understand that sometimes I'd take them off but UNfortunately my kid taps the drivers only during listening. He doesn't care about the drivers or speakers any other time!
