| under $300 bookshelfs: does excitement exist? dylan,If you are "just truely curious", do some homework on the Athena Line. I was shock when I saw that they got picked up by BB. They are a very well reviewed speaker and are very inexpensive. This line has been carried by AudioAdvisor for a cou... | |
| Sony S7700, S7000, or ??? best low cost transport? I agree with the previous posters. I owned 2 different 7700's. one stock and one specifically modified for transport duty by a well know modder. Neither of them approached the performance of a Theta Miles or Cary CD-308 when used with the same ext... | |

| great little speakers What will you be using for amplification? Why do I ask? Well, for a speaker that is EXCELLENT and will work well with almost any amplifier, check out the Reference 3A MM DeCapo. It has relatively high effeciency and it has a very simple crossover.... | |
| Need CDP opinions please For "slightly" over $2000, you could get a Resolution Audio Opus 21. It is a KILLER CD Player at its used price. It also has digital inputs, so you could attach another digital source if you wanted. Also, it has built-in volume control if you want... | |

| Speaker break-in tips.. Warren,You are correct about "out of phase". Reverse the +/- on one speaker only. It will not damage the speaker, it simply moves in the opposite direction of what was intended.The idea with wiring one speaker out of phase and placing the speakers... | |

| Best upper end CD player with digital inputs I gotta agree with the Resolution Audio Opus 21. It is an excellent CD player and it has a digital input. However, I think the input is RCA only. I could be wrong. If interested, check the resolutionaudio website.Enjoy,TIC | |

I have owned the following CD players with remote controllable variable volume control:Theta Miles (mine was the sonically superior balanced+RCA version)Cary CD-308Resolution Audio Opus 21I successfully used all 3 in a CD direct system with no pre... | |
| Best DAC with Volume Control? I've owned 2, the Birdland Odeon Lite and the Monarchy Model 33. Of those 2, I think I actaully preferred the Monarchy, but I did not have them at exactly the same time, so there was not a direct comparison.If I were looking for a DAC w/volume con... | |

| Best stand mounted monitors I have only heard one speaker from your list. I own the reference 3A MM DeCapo (non-i). It could be a very good choice in your scenario as it has pretty high efficiency and is very easy to drive. I've driven mine with as little as 1.5 w/channel in... | |
