Yo-Yo Ma Plays Ennio Morricone SACD
As a flow up, the Sacd arrived and the redbook layer is significantly better than the other CD. The sacd layer is even a bit better, but not t.nearly as Much of an improvement. 
Vast Improvement In Co-Workers Home Audio
I would agree that the input switch was the primary improvement, but also know that connecting the iPod using the 30 pin connector instead of the headphone mini jack. Even in this case it isn't a cable issue as much as it is the fact that the 30 p...

Audioengine A2 Speakers - Welcome To My Office
I.brought the Lose dock home today in anticipation of moving out of the cube farm onto temporary tables for a few weeks.The side by side A to B comparison wasn't even fun because it wasn't even close. My wife, when forced to listen, described the ... 
Audioengine A2 Speakers - Welcome To My Office
I do have the angled stands, but they are still in the box waiting for the trip to work in January. The more I listen the more I like them, it's too bad I work in a cube farm rather than having my own office. Maybe it's time to move up!The vocals ... 
A Pair of Center Channels?
He ended up with the Epos Epic 2 and is very satisfied. They are rear ported so at least on paper are a poor fit for a literal bookshelf application, but if he's happy that's all that matters.I've tried to stop him in his multi-room wiring project... 
A Pair of Center Channels?
Thanks for the info. I later noticed that the bookshelf models were ported which explained the different in frequency response. My friend has finally given in to rearranging his shelves to make more room so using larger regular speakers is an opti... 
Which Would You Choose?
Good info, the biggest issue is that I don't think he's going to put that much into the project up front. The secondary power amp would likely be a secondary stepping stone in the future. You never know, I'll keep this in mind and see how much I c... 
Which Would You Choose?
It doesn't appear that Pro 32XT is available on any receivers in a similar price range. In the Integra lineup it's appears to start at the 70.x level. I like the concept, but know that it's probably out of his budget. 
Which Would You Choose?
A little background. A friend of mine has a very small room that he want to use for a home theater setup. The room is about the size of two office cubicals and the entire house is about 800 sq-ft. He's very impressed with my system, but isn't read...

What do they sound like in your system compared to others that you have? 
Pro-Ject Phono Box II USB
CD resolution is just fine with him. His biggest concern is not degrading the sound quality on his system with the "box" connected. 
Classe move to China
Fundsgon - my post was mostly intended as a general statement and not necessarily directed at you. You make some good points to be sure. I just get tired of people assuming that "Made in China" always equals junk. It does a lot of the time, but no... 
Classe move to China
While I understand that a lot of "Made in China" parts are subpar and that it is bad for the ecomony for U.S. manufacturers to outsource I get uncomfortable assuming that it is not possible for a "Made in China" product to also be a quality produc... 
Can car amps be used for home audio?
When I first assembled the subwoofer for my 4Runner I hooked it up in my house using a 900 watt car audio amplifier and a 300 watt computer supply. I was amazed at how great it actually sounded. If the volume was up too much it would shut the powe...
