| Were to go after a Rega Planet 2000? Hi Nick,How do the two (transport and DAC) compare to the Rega Planet, now that you had them around for a while and listened to them some more? I always make up my mind on CDP's only after a couple of months: Only then do I find out whether I can ... | |

| Who R U? Wow, I missed this thread too for the last two years. Jond, I wish I would have seen you post earlier: I used to be constantly in the DC area. Nice place to live in a downtown condo (Actually I live in a nice condo, too, but in downtown Calgary). ... | |
| What's your profession? Age? 31 and wow, I am only the third physicist in this thread. Well, now its four if I add my wife as well. But then there are no other physicist audiophiles out there that I know of. Maybe something in the brain that is wired correctly for science and... | |
| Omega speakers Hi Gmood1, as always, thanks for all the suggestions. I actually have never had a chance to listen to a Lowther based speaker and the LT-2000 looks like a good entry into that. I wonder whether the Abby's can easily modified for a Lowther driver!?... | |
| Omega speakers Hi Doc,As Gmood1 already mentioned, I am using the Acoustic Visions MRS-10 subwoofer with the Omegas with great results (see my virtual system pages). Incidentally, it was Gmood1 who recommended that I should look into the MRS-1 or Adire Rave! The... | |
| Jolida JD100A, How to bring it to the next level Rkerv, I would not recommend teaming up a tupe output CD player with a solid state output stage DAC that surpases the tube out stage of the Jolida. This would use the Jolida only as transport and for the money there are probably better transports ... | |
| totem arro or rainmaker or von schweikert vr1 Hi Robferg,SInce you are interested in maybe a Jolida amp I though I'll chime in here.From what I have heard from some users on Audioasylum, the Arros should be a fairly good match with a Jolida amp if you are interested in going that route.

| Looking for the king of mini monitors under $1500 Hi Nick, I know I alread emailed you some suggestions, but for the archive and other users I thought I need to mention the Omega Super 3R, since no one else has done so.

| Buget system idea? Well one more, since you already have suggestion for the Cain Abby's: if you like more power and dynamic the Sophia Electric EL34 tube amp sounded great with the Abby's when I listened to them at Sounds Real Audio in Denver. Certainly you have man... | |

| Your Wish List for Reissue on Vinyl The complete Tom Waits catalog - I have most of them on Vinyl and they are soo much better than the CD versions. Only problem is I play them to often and I need backup for the next 40 years... | |
| Indian Sitar Stuff 4yanx, if you interested in the Sarod by now, I would recommend Ustad Amjad Ali Khan as well. I saw him live with his two sons a couple of years ago in Albuquerque. He visits the Southwest and California every couple of years, so watch out for con... |
