I'd like to see any of the new Jeff Rowland Design Group's newer designs reviewed, like the Capri pre-amp or the Continuum 500 integrated amp and/or the PC-1 Power Factor Correction module.

Man, so many! The upcoming darTZeel integrated amp or the Pass INT-150 integrated amp. Esoteric A100 amp. The Rountree Omnimon Model 1 speakers, Isophon Cassiano speakers. The Spiral Groove TT and the new Artemis TT designed by Schroder. AMR-CD77 CDP...

The Lee Strasberg Method Acting tweak.

Isn't there a $300,000 TT coming out soon, I wanna see MF buy one and love it!!!!

A comparison of all Planar speakers

Stereophile should be reviewing more cables (interconnects, speaker cables, and power cords), power power conditioners, and tweaks. All of these categories are neglected. I'd like to see a new monthly column. Short one page reviews would be nice.

The new HDX "Hard Disk Music Player" from Naim Audio and the Opus No. 4 "Home Audio Solution" from Olive. It's interesting how all these vendors come up with unique category names for their digital media servers and players; "Digital Stream Player (Linn), "Network Music Player" (Slim Devices), "Music Server" (McIntosh Labs). "Home Audio Solution" is a particularly lame name; doesn't tell you a thing about what it really is except that it has something to do with music and goes in the home.

There is this one component that I've only heard rumors about that has all the good qualities of analog, all the good qualities of digital, the reliability of solid state, the warmth of tubes, is reasonably priced and is available right from my local audio dealer. When Stereophile reviews that component I'll be happy.

Oh, this is easy - Any Zu speaker.

Ditto to that- JA said they'd be doing something like it a while back... still hoping to see it.

Alex- I'm sure you remember JS specifically addressed why they aren't going to review the ZU line... somehting about they had felt the whole ZU approach was far enough out of the realm of "balanced and accurate" as to not fit into the review criteria.

I know. That's why I would like to see a review of those speakers. I want to know exactly how it sounds, exactly what's wrong with it. I want to see measurements, I want to see conclusions.

I actually want to see Stereophile review ANY component they don't like, but Zu would be a perfect candidate. I wish I could hear it somewhere. I would post my impressions on these forums.

I would love to see an in depth article on phono preamps. What they do and how they do it. What to look for when purchasing one. The importance of certain features. How to match one with your cartridge. I think that would be great especially with the popularity of vinyl.

I would like to see more outboard DACS in "affordable" price bands reviewed. I spend a lot of time at my desk, have a lot of music in iTunes, and would like to have a better sense of my options for streaming.
Thanks for your interest.
